Opiates, specifically pain pills, just like you.
I've since entered treatment.

I had some liquid sublingual morphine lying around 20mg dosage, and tried that for back pain for a few weeks. I wasn't that impressed the pain relief\euphoria was not that great and the side effects\withdrawal were HORRIBLE, in comparison.

I can't reccomend it.

i seem to function better on the stuff then without these days :(

But it sounds like you don't want to depend on these drugs anymore.. Why don't you go to a doctor and get some other pills, maybe some that aren't so addictive?

I don't know what an accepted dosage for morphine is, but 20 mg doesn't sound like much at all..

morphine is a strange one...everyone reacts differently to it.... it makes me unable to sleep for some reason.

and yeah, 20mg of morphine is a weak dose....

i have a tolerance to opiates but i need at least 90mg of it to get a good euphoria going on....

Seriously, dude, if you want to stop using, just stop using.. Some prefer going cold turkey (I couldn't do it, I was a wreck.. Most people that can't do this go back to the drug and only end up using more than when they tried to stop), others are better off weening off of it.. I don't know what your reasons are for not wanting to do it anymore, but be honest with yourself and just stop.

Oh, from the way you said it, I thought you wanted to stop..
Anyway, if they don't get you into any real trouble, you don't want to stop yourself and you don't have to steal/kill to be able to pay for it, I'd say: Keep on going :).

it's harder to get off pain pills than you think. a LOT harder than you think. the withdrawls are absolutely unbearable. i'm speaking from my experience with OCs, i dunno what OP is on, but i assume the withdrawls he has stopping are similar to my experiences.

bunch of drug addicts in here :p

Never been addicted to anything, tried any weird stuff, or anything like that. It's pointless and stupid IMO.

Alcohol. Been in treatment once. Fell off the wagon months ago. Sometimes I can manage it but mostly not.
