Susanne,
In September I was taking 30cc morphine and a fental patch. I started to cut the patch in 2/3, then 1/2, 1/4 the gone. I then started using 1cc less morphine each time and continued the taper. To hazy to remember but it might have taken a month. I also use to get the "Jitters" so I would take a smale dose of vivodine, a couple of weeks ago I stopped that. Now for the second time in my live ( Charm and I must have read the same biik when we were young) I am drug free and getting back to normal, or as normal as I can get right now.
TAPER!!!!!!
