I was not yet on 8mgs of Dilaudid but I was on 4mg-6mgs every 4 hrs for severe Back pain and neck pain. My doc gave me my last bottle and told me I am not filling this any longer for you. I was in shock as I have had over 40 surgeries & DDD in my spine. If I do not have something for pain I am in a wheelchair. But... I have tried ever pain management doc and all they want to do is Epidurals and I have had 15 and they cause more pain for me than help. So I am forced to get off by white knuckling it. I called my doc and asked for compazine, Lexapro both 10mgs. And I have a panic disorder so I have Xanax 1mgs. I started 3 and half weeks ago. I am doing it!!! I am now.... after two weeks of sick to my stomach, shakes, tears, yawning, sneezing in my sleep 30 in a row, feeling like my legs were being pulled off of me (muscle cramps)! I stayed in a recliner, with a blanket and heating pads, and then burning up back to chills for about 8 days. As soon as you think you can't do it take a half of a Xanax. I take my Lexapro 1st thing in the am. Mid morning I get sick to my stomach so I take a compazine and go laydown with a Ginger Ale. I have no appetite. Drink a ton of liquids!!! Flush your system! This is working for me?? I don't know about others, check with your doctor first! I am now taking 1mg- 1/2 mg of Dulaudid only when the pain is to much to take and that is about every 10 hrs. So it is slowly going away!!! I still need something for pain so I am going to have to talk to my doctor as my Neuro Simulators are not helping enough. We shall see or I am going to be in bed or a wheelchair 24/7. Just be very careful if you try this on your own!!! I didn't want the meds that help you get off an Narcotic because I would be withdrawing twice!!! Read up on it before you do! Believe me ONCE is all I ever want to go through ever again! This is not fun!!!

Will Dilaudid help with morphine withdrawals?
do not take dilaudid for morphine withdrawals.this is ascenine..U will simply start your detox over being how dilaudid is 4 to 5 times stronger than morphine accroding to mgs. It will stop your withdrawals and when that pill has worn off you will be in worse shape than you started. Dilaudid is just as or more addictive than morphine.Hope this helps.hang in there I'm on day 4 of morphine withdrawals myself...just hang tight i know it sux but you can do it.. ---- Also a major factor that makes Dilaudid unsuitable for treating morphine withdrawal is, like morphine, it has a short half-life and relatively short duration of action. The longer acting opioids (such as methadone) are used for tapering and maintenance because they require less frequent dosing and stay in the body longer, thus creating less harsh withdrawal symptoms.
