Unfortunately there is no easy way to withdraw from opiates. You will have to be under a doctor's supervision, or someone who can monitor your blood pressure, etc. Suboxone is what I was given, and it is a bitch to get off! Now Im trying to get off "Dr. recommended perscriptions" I know u were given this by a dr. and they can be the worst drug pushers. You are physically and mentally addicted. If u know u cant work without it. I functioned on opiates as a nurse for years, my excuse not to give them up was my job. I ended up losing my job because of the addiction.  I needed a higher and higher dosage everyday to just be what I thought was normal.  If your Dr. wants u off and will not perscribe them you either have to get off and face all your fears and figure out why you dont want to or buy your drugs on the street. Unfortunately this is the reality. You may not think of yourself as an addict, because you have a good job, function on them but believe me if you woke up in the morning and didnt have your opiates to get u going u would be in hell. Good luck. Im withdrawling so sorry for being such an ass.
