A member asked:
I'm being slowly tapered off my morphine. gone from 45mg daily to 30mg daily for now. i'm having some insomnia. is this normal? i wake up by 2am

Yes. : I will not use word normal but in your case insomnia is part of entire picture of weaning off opioids. It is drug induced insomnia. It is treatable. It takes time to resolve.
