What type of leg pain did you have? What is just aching, or was it muscle cramping?

I have done this exact detox, cold turkey, so I can try to warn you of what to expect and give a few tips.

If it was leg cramping, it might be due to the fact that narcotics tend to sap the potassium in your body and a low-dose supplement can help with that. You should check with your doctor first, though, because high potassium levels can also be dangerous, so you shouldn't add a supplement, without their approval.

If you can get your doctor to help, by prescribing lower dosages, I'd suggest you do so, because the withdrawal symptoms and rebound effects can be pretty miserable. I was taking 65mgs and they were pretty bad for well over a month.

Some things to expect are symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea and rebound pain, which in some cases can be worse than the pain you started taking it for.

The worst for me was joint pain, mostly in my hands, because Morphine can cause some joint inflammation, even if it isn't noticeable and, when you lower the dose or stop taking it, the swelling starts to go down.

Another thing that I found helpful, which you would need to check with your doctor about using, was Benadryl, since it can help with the nausea, dizziness and skin itching that can occur with withdrawals.

And after checking with my doctor, I used Imodium for the diarrhea, this happens in most narcotic withdrawal cases, because they cause constipation as a side effect.

Are there any other comments or suggestions?

I was taking 1000 mg of ms contain a day. My Dr took me down to 120 mg per day. Once a week I would be given a 10% drop and I did it! In 4 months I was taking 120 mg a day. He gave me benzos and nausea meds such as xanax to help and zofran for nausea. Also, Klonodine, not clonopin for blood pressure. Please don't ever try this without drs help. Don't cut or chew them. They are a time released medicine. It is dangerous!

Please be careful if you detox from ms contin. It can be harmful to a anyone who does it for what ever reason. Please detox under drs care and take anything that drs can give you for your leg pain. I I stated before, I was at 1000 mg a day 2 yrs ago and still at 120. I would not have even lived if I had not been under a good drs care. Unbelievable, huh? Can you imagine 1000 mg daily? I can't even believe I'm alive to tell my story!
