Life without morphine ​​​​​​​
 

Off prescription morphine after months taking it. Had the surgery I needed so I don't need the pain relief any longer. It's 24 hours since I had my last (tiny) dose - GP is overseeing my withdrawal - but I'm crippled by panic and anxiety. Life also seems bleak and colourless without it. In new territory here - please help ❤.

Hi and welcome Jane :)
I just wanted you to know your post was read and you’re not alone.

Panic and anxiety are very normal in situations like this, but things will get better :)

Hope you post again :)

Hi Jane,

I'm glad that your GP is involved and I know you can get through this.

Sleep
 

Thank you Anna and Dee74 - I've just woken up from a good night's sleep, and things are looking a little brighter this morning.

The physical withdraw will taper off. Its the menatl side that takes some time to recover. If you have not started yet exercise is the best thing for the mind and the body. It wil create balance alongside some healthy food to fuel the body. Hydrate daily you will be surprise by how much water can do. 👍
