The nurse or doctor that is giving you morphine after your surgery has it down to a fine art and they will give you just enough to take the edge off and then start slowly weaning you off of it with no ill effects.My husband just had 4 injections of morphine and he had been weaned off by the next afternoon and didn't even know it. The pain was gone and he had no withdrawal symptoms. They often start you out on Morphine for the worst part of the pain after surgery and then wean you off and put you on another pain medication that will get rid of the pain, but it non addictive. When you get your morphine ask the nurse or doctor to give you Gravol along with it so you don't get an upset stomach.
