Opiate Withdrawls can last from 5 days to 2 months. Dont let the 2 months thing scare you away from quitting these horrible drugs. It all depends on what opiate you were using, how much and for how long. I am on day 4 of a year and a half of vicodin/percocet and the occasional oxy-contins. After day 5 and 6 you start feeling better. I have gone through this before and its just a matter of having strong will power to get you through it

I'm currently in the 6th WEEK of opiate detox (from a 3+ year habit that culminated with me taking as much as 2500mg/day of oxycodone). Although the acute symptoms have faded, I am still constantly experiencing problems, including profuse night sweats, diarrhea, joint/muscle pain, jitters/tremors and a general feeling of malaise. But I fully understand why: it took me 3 years to get to the point where I could tolerate what would surely be a lethal dose of Oxycontin to most everyone else, so naturally it will take some time for my body to recover from that.

How long do withdrawals last coming off 60mg morphine 3x a day 4 years?

The same length of time as any opiate withdrawal - 5 days of intense withdrawals followed by several weeks of mild depression. The best approach may be to reduce your 3 x 60 mg a day intake by 10 mg - 30 mg every two weeks until you are only taking 10 mg - 30 mg a day then finally give that up all together.
