ABSTRACT
Opioid use for chronic noncancer pain poses a challenge to the gynecologist, and weaning opioids is often a goal for clinicians and patients. In some cases, opioid cessation can be achieved by weaning a patient's prescribed opioid or with symptomatic management with long-acting opioids or alpha2-adrenergic medications. This review imparts a basic understanding of the physiology of opioid withdrawal, strategies for achieving opioid abstinence, medications for treating the symptoms of withdrawal, and alternatives to opioid taper.
