Morphine update
24 November 2011
After last weeks flippy floppy business alternating doses day by day I've decided to stick to the single dose method. So 70mg per day for the next two weeks.
Morphine is strange stuff. As my friend Ginks (a pseudonym) told me it creates the same symptoms coming off as when going on. The time release stuff has the effect of making you slightly paranoid, jittery etc. and when pain starts to get through the dosage then it means your body needs more because it's got too used to the dose.
So I'm 8 weeks or so in. Still up and down for the first few days after reduction, but still going. Getting off of this drug is my goal now and it's achievable!!! :-D
I'm finding pain I didn't know about but that's strangely reassuring after feeling virtually no pain at all!
Onwards to victory!
