Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

You are feeling withdrawal symptoms due to lesser intake of morphine. In that case, you can take xanax up to 2 to 4 mg for sleep or anxiety problem. Better to take morphine or opioid partial agonist like bupronorphine or methadone to subside withdrawal symptoms. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
