Tread carefully with the morphine SUMBODE. I am tapering off palexia, a derivative of morphine I think. I have been taking 150mg twice a day for a couple of months or so. Managed to knock the morning one off by myself over a week. Took a while, scary side effects, vertigo, nausea, diarrhoea but no noticeable pain increase. Decided to listen to my doc and taper the evening dose, dropping to 100 for a week, then 50 and hopefully none. half way through the 100g week and only side effect is still the vertigo but considerably more pain. Not just my knees but every joint. Hubby gave me a light at the end of the tunnel moment and booked a flight at the end of August to see my son, who has just bought a small property in Pennsylvania. I shall most definitely be walking onto that plane one way or another! Take care.
