Reduction Of Morphine

Updated

I'm coming thru a reduction of morphine SR 100mg down to 60mg. This has been hell as ive never ever known before. Im wondering if I can try and reduce further by 10mg at a time over the next 5 years? I am so afraid now that as I become older and not able to control the situation that some Dr will come into the picture and just reduce me as this last Dr has done. I was on 100mg for 25years for chronic back pain. I still have the back pain but finding not as bad as it was in the first 10 years following injury. I know I cant get through the PAWS again. I have no family or support here in the country i now live. Please can you advise me?

Has anyone reading here suffered severe abdominal pain, anxiety and no sleep barely when reducing their long-term morphine pain meds by half? I'm in a very bad situation and I cant find anyone to talk to regarding this. Could I now have these symptoms forever?
