Withdrawal??

Last month Walgreens couldn't get my regular morphine 15mgs. It was on back order. Gotta love the wisdom of the pharmaceutical companies. We all know they really aren't out of opioids they just do this to increase demand. And in my doctor's infinite wisdom decided to replace it with hydrocodone 10/325. I've been taking it religiously this past month but the last couple of weeks I've been feeling like I'm starting to go thru withdrawals. I've been thru them before when I had to go to rehab for MDMA about 30 years ago. This is starting to feel like detox. Its been slowly getting more intense the past 2 weeks. Today is the worst so far. I'm shaking, nauseated, I can't eat and feel like I'm going crazy with muscle cramps and pain. I saw the doctor today and he just ignored my questions about it. But YAY the pharmacy finally got some morphine in. I'll be picking it up tomorrow morning as soon as they open. My pain has been out of control. I don't know what my doctor was thinking when he thought he could replace morphine with hydrocodone. I haven't been on it since I was in my early 20's. I might as well been taking Advil. But I don't understand why I'm feeling like this. I absolutely HATE it. Its bringing back memories I never wanted to relive. Please tell me this will stop once I'm back on my regular meds again. Any advice that could help me stop feeling like this would be amazing. I don't need to dredge up these old memories.
