At What Point Did You Start Weaning Yourself Off Narcotics For Pain? What If Any Withdrawal Symptoms Did You Have?
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have been on 9mg of hydramoraphorm long acting morning and night for almost 2 years. I still have bad back and hip pain and also have to take break throughs sometimes. I’m worried about dependency and also withdrawal symptoms when coming off. Any advice is appreciated.

Talk to your pain management specialist. They may prescribe something else, like a fentanyl patch during the transition. I stopped taking a high corticosteroid and got Cushing’s syndrome, so it’s good that you are looking into this.
