Hi Ed, Declan and Everyone,
Is it possible to stop the morphine myself with diazapam?
The pain is getting better since the surgery - steroid injection on Monday. It was a horrific experience with that pain managemt dr- he triggered me so much and all the negativity and accusations- i never want to call him back or see him again. At least not until my psychiatrist talks to him.Since the pain has let up - i guess the steroid injection is finally working- i've tried to not take medicine- spread it to 18 hrs apart- but can't sleep , feel bad, mostly depressed. i have diazapam to take and enough morphine through Tuesday.
I've been on oxycontin and morphine since severe pain started in Dec 2003- it's been one-and-a-half years, about a year at the high dose (now 200mg a day- capsules of 100mg. i have six 100mg capsules left and about ten 15mg IR breakthrough.Can i do this myself with diazapam so i don't have to go anywhere-like a treatment center- or deal with that horrible dr again?
i can ask my psychDr for more diazapam because i just saw him- and what else would help- Klonopin?i'm way too afraid to go to a hospital /treatment place- they won't understand my parts- and i'll be totally out of control of my treatment.
How much diazapam should i take and is it good to just wait longer and longer between morphine doses. Can i do this at home - in a safer place?
Thanks so much,
kerria
