Transitioning From Taking Opiates Intravenously To Orally

Updated

Does anyone have any tips on easiest transition from taking about 10 x 8mg Dilaudid per day intravenously to taking 1-2 x 30mg blue tablets orally? This is mainly so I can be seen by a doctor because I'll never go there with marks and bruises from using a needle! Also because it is awful of course... I need to go through MRIs and pain management. I doubt they would prescribe me opiates if I go there as a drug abuser.

Anyways just want some tips on an easy transition it's a huge difference and hard to change once you get there so I'm going to try. Thanks.
