Read this article for me http://beckersorthopedicandspine.co...-opiates-could-help-patients-reduce-pain

Personally I used marijuana to get off of the opiates 2.5 years ago after a two year "relationship" with them, at one point being dialed up to 200mcg/hr of fentanyl, the strongest opiate they'll give us humans and roughly 80x stronger then morphine.

It's worth looking into, especially considering the other side effects you are experiencing.

Hope that helps, keep your chin up
