my husband and I moved to a new city, he was on treatment for two continuous years in our last state with no interruptions in treatment medications. Now we have moved to a new state and found a pc doc and she left our of town with out filling his morphine. she filled his hydrocodone and not his morphine, she left no treating notes and told us to call for refill. we called for refill and the treating physician said they would not handle filling his morphine and was blown off. we were told we would not his morphine refilled there, but left him high and dry with no help. we went to another doctor and now he is flagged as a doc shopper. I am worried about my husbands health care as he has been on morphine for two years and cant get it filled in our new state of residence, we know not what to do. my husband is epileptic and I am in fear he will have seizure coming off the morphine what should I do?
HelloWelcome to ChatDoctorYou have mentioned that he is on morphine since last two years and is seizure free also. If due to legal problems' morphine is not available then best thing that can be done is to gradually tapering the doses of morphine over 4-8 weeks. This will not cause sudden with Chat Doctor.  If that is not possible then consult his doctor regarding the replacement
