how to quit morphine

I am a 36 yr old female. I had back surgery in August 2000, Decemcer 2008, and July 2009. all of these surgeries were on the same disc in my low back. I have been on opiats daily since November 2008 and have been on Morphine CR and immediate release since the last surgery. I want off of them and need to know how to do it. I take the CR once in AM and once in PM and have weened myself down to only 3 of the immediate release per day. Where do I go from here?

I would say continur tapering down. It sounds like you've done a great job and in no time if you continue to taper, you'll be off. You did very well. And I wish you the best.
