A bit of advice plz?

Please help,
I am addicted to opiates and started on 120mg morphine. I tried cold turkey and felt so bad so i have been tapering for a few weeks which seems to be suiting me much better. I am down to 40 mg which is 2 tablets and i am having sweats and bad agitation.
The problem is, i dont know how long to stay on 40 before going to 20mg... I feel so so proud to have made it this far but need some help to know how to do this and ensure i dont feel like i am proper dying.

Thanks guys x

Hi Shivvy

I'm afraid we can't give you medical advice here - it's simply against our rules.

It's in your best interests to speak to your doctor, if you have one, or any doctor if you don't.

Medical detox
I 2 was addicted to opiets and had to be medicly detoxed. It took 5 days in a detox facility. Then i did 28 days in a in patient treatment facility. It saved my life. Dont try it by your self. It is not safe. Good luck.

As others have said, definitely ask a doctor. They should help you through this process.
