Suggest Treatment For Severe Spasms, Nausea And Sleeplessness

thank you I am 79 yrs of age and in the last 4 yrs have been [a] gone through the treatment for giant cell arteritis...prednisone..now clear [b] An op for a blood clot on my lung..now clear. [c] have severe artheritis and am currently waiting for an op to correct a bowel difunction..diverticular disease. Through some of these treatment I have been treated with fentanol patches..methadone and sevredol etc each one being an absolute nightmare to stop taking. I am a strong willed person and have come close to giving up morphine but it has a strong grip! and now sevredol which is messing up my mind and suffering severe spasms, shakes, nausea, sleeplessness. My doc is at her wits end to try to help but to no avail I really want to know how to stop taking opioids, I feel they are killing me...Freda M NZ

Hi,

* The ideal approach to stop the opioids of long terms use is to get hospital admission under the care of a de-addiction specialist, as lot many parameters come to play role in this case.
* At your home, you can best practice YOGA and meditations to help with the current stress levels.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
