I love it when questions are simple.
You talk to your doctor, tell him your concerns.
In the end, getting off of morphine is just like getting off of any other opioid. If you want it to hurt as little as possible, you wean down to a very low dosage over a period of time, then you quit. It'll be awhile before you cross that bridge, but when you get there, there's lots of us that can tell you ideas on how to best tolerate the withdrawals that will occur.
They'll be a lot less if you get weaned down first, typically it's not that difficult to get your dose down low enough that you're not puking your guts out when you stop. Avoiding things like malaise, cravings, 'the runs', and insomnia, though, are virtually impossible no matter how low you wean, but again, their severity can be sustantially mitigated by doing so.
