Hi

Thanks for asking.

Morphine is an opioid medication used in chronic pain syndromes, it has a huge dependence potential and the withdrawal symptoms from it can be severe, even life threatening in some cases.

Any withdrawal from morphine should be tapered off, with the dose reduced slowly over a period of time, and not abrupt.

I do not think so any other drug can be used for opioid withdrawal except for the opioid itself in low dose.

Try to consult a doctor and explain your situation.

Thanks.
