    You ideally need to speak to your GP. I am under the pain clinic with my morphine, and i am coming down 10mg a week, but i did start at 200mg a day!

    What is your daily intake? Just 15mg? I would of thought you could half that dose, or just take it every other day, then spread it out and finally stop.

      I've come down from 200mg to 50mg but the last 10mg drop was 2 weeks of pure evil. If you can reduce 1mg/day that's awesome but it's worth talking to the doctor to get something for your guts and something to calm you when the horrors cut in. I'm now planning to go straight to 0 in one hit using Lofexidine - take 3 weeks off and just get it done.
