    Hi @deano124 - & welcome to the community. I'm sorry for all you've gone through. You're not a drug addict because you've been prescribed morphine, tho your body has instead become dependent on it.

    Can you talk to your GP about your wish to reduce Zomorph & possibly look at alternatives? I'm sure they'll help. This is just my personal experience, but I came off Fentanyl (morphine patches) ever so gradually, & was then prescribed another non-morphine type of drug instead to help.

    We're not medical professionals, so you need a Drs help. If your not happy with your current GP then please see if you can find another in the practice to help you.

    Welcome to the community @deano124.

    I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I would definitely reach out to your Drs surgery and request to see a different Dr. It's clearly affecting you quite badly and something should be done so you have better quality of life.

    Do you have any mental health support?
