How To Wean Off Morphine And Norco

Updated

I have been on 30 mg morphine sulphate and norco for 2 years. I have cut down to 1 30 mg morphine sulphate and 1 norco twice a day. I have been doing this for 3 days. How should I continue to completely wean off?

Hello, Edwardo! How are you?

There are lower doses of Morphine available that your doctor can prescribe to help you taper off and, as long as they approve, you can cut or break the Norco to gradually keep lowering your dose, since it isn't time released.

The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
