Hi Stardust, The med he is talking about is called Avinza, I'm sure you can find the ful prescriing info at the meds web site.Although it advertised as a 24 hour med, most people devide the dose in to 2 12 hour doses tomaintain a smoother serum level. Morphine generaly causes more drowines and nausea than meth, but everything I have ever rerad about morphine is that it's bets to try to make it through the first 2 weeks and those side efects deminsih too. Meds like Oxycontin can actually cause an increase in energy where morphine is more sedating, but again this deminishes with time. You want to give it a fair shake and simply being drosy the first few days is terrible reaon to discontinue morphine and give up on the chance that it may help.

As far as gaurenteeing wil it work or will you be able to discontinue it easily, nobody can gaurentee those things, but sweating wasn't a problem I had with morphine like I did with meth. Feeling warm or flushed is a side effect of all opiates but that sensation does deminish, unlike sweat that just drips from your nose with methadone.

As far as discontinung it down the road, how rough it is depends on how fast you discontinue the med, Going cold turkkey or doing a fast and furious taper to get off in a few days would likely be miserable but a slow taper where 10% is reduced every week will certainly go smoother. Another thing is that morphine doesn't have every property that meth has, so you can experience some differential withdrawal when switching away from meth to another med like morphine. It's really something you have to ride out because even increasing the dose doesn't make up for a property that meth has and morphine doesn't. Conversions from meth to morphine can require anywhere from 3-10 times more morphine than meth.

Good luck and try to hang in there the first few weeks and expect to have to make some adjustment at some point to fine tune the dose for you.
Good luck, Dave
