Lortab & Morphine Addiction

I've been taking 10/500 lortab 4 times a day and 100mg of morphine twice a day and I'm still in pain. How long will I go through the DT'S when I stop the meds? I'm ready to try and kick this dependence.

Hi vinvin,

I'm not sure what you are referring to when you mention "DT'S", but I'm assuming you mean withdrawal symptoms?

Usually for drugs like this the safest way to stop taking them is to tapper off them, if possible. Some medications can be taken in fractions (actually cut into pieces) and these smaller pieces can be taken in place of the regular dose for a period of several weeks until the body is no longer dependent upon them.

It may also be wise to incorporate some goal setting techniques, in so far as tracking your progress and looking back at your accomplishments.

I hope this helps!

I have been taking Morphine for 4 years. I take 30 to 40 MG a day, plus I also drink 3 to 4 liters of beer every day. I need help. I don't have the money to go to the doctor as most of the money I have is for this. I don't eat for many days and want to stop taking Morphine. Can someone please help me? I am 62 on a small pension disability. Help please.
