Hello,
It is very difficult to avoid withdrawl symptoms after using medicines like opiates for many years but a patient approach can make you withstand these withdrawl symptoms.
Reduce your drug by 10% at a time and take it for 4 weeks and then again reduce it by 10% and take it for 4 weeks.
Keep on repeating this process.It shall definitely take some time,but you would come out of it without facing much trouble.
Thanks
