Trying To Get Off Dilauded

I've been on Dilauded for 6 mos. following major spine surgery. For the first few weeks I was talking 10mg every three hours. I quickly tapered off to two 10mg twice daily. I have been on this dosage for about five months. I took my last 10mg pill 72 hours ago. I ache all over, am alternately sweating then freezing cold, have runny bowls, am sneezing and stopped up, am suffering through periods of anxiety, and just generally feel rotten. How long should these symptoms last? Should I go back to 1/2 pill (5mg) twice daily , which would be cutting my previous dosage in half, and then cut it down again to 2 1/2mg twice daily until I'm weaned? OR since I've gone this long, should I just tough it out?

Hello, Kabby! How are you feeling?

What you've described can all be typical withdrawal effects of a medication like this, you may also experience headaches, fever and chills. You did stop at what was still a fairly high dose, so it isn't surprising that you experienced them.

It may take a couple weeks for all of the symptoms to fully go away, but they should gradually improve in severity as time passes.

What did you decide to do, did you go back on it or not?
