Hello, John! How are you?

How have you been trying to stop it? If you've been going cold turkey, by stopping abruptly, then such symptoms are to be expected. The best way to stop it is by doing a gradual taper, so your body can slowly adjust to being without it. Otherwise, on top of withdrawal symptoms, it can cause rebound pain, which may be worse than the pain you were taking it to treat.

Do you take any other medications, or just the Morphine?
