From Norco to Morphine - how do I detox?

[Guest guest]

I was on Norco and preferred it immensely to Vicodin ES. It wasn't covered by

my insurance, however, and I had to pay for it out of pocket. It worked so much

better it was worth the extra expense.

At this time, as my pain increased, I was switched to the Duragesic Fentanyl

patch. First, Duragesic 25 mg with Norco for breakthrough pain

and now

Duragesic 50 mg with Morphine for breakthrough pain.

I have Reiter's Syndrome, aka Reactive Arthritis, which is chronic and I am

going into remission from the flare-up. Now I'm addicted to these painkillers

and will probably have to go through detox. I don't abuse them, I use them as

directed. I also was prescribed Xanax .5 mg for occassional anxiety attacks

from being so disabled.

But for getting off of these hard-core meds.... any advice?
