Morphine Sulfate withdrawals are the same as most any other opiate/opioid (with some exceptions and slight variations).

Opiates/opiates come from the Poppy plant, or are synthetic derivatives, and Morphine is found in raw opium directly.

Morphine withdrawal symptoms (or Opiate withdrawal symptoms in general) are as follows: Sweats, Chills, Muscle Aches, Diarrhea, Vomiting/Nausea, High Blood Pressure, Fatigue, Restless Leg Syndrome (leg aches), Insomnia, Severe Depression, Heightened Sensitivity to Pain, Dysphoria, Muscle Spasms, Allergy Symptoms (yawning, watery eyes, sneezing).

They generally last for 5-10 days, with some symptoms lasting longer (insomnia, depression, fatigue). Morphine withdrawals are exactly like Heroin withdrawals, because they are almost exactly the same drug. In fact, the proper chemical name for Heroin is Diamorphine. When heroin is ingested and reaches the brain, it is turned into morphine.

Morphine (and Heroin) are in a class of drugs called opiates, which are used medically to relieve pain.

Morphine Withdrawals are very painful, but are NOT deadly unlike Benzodiazapine (Valium, Xanax, Klonapin, etc.) and Alcohol withdrawal.

There is plenty of information online about Opiate withdrawals, so any further information is just a click away. If you or someone you know is going through Opiate withdrawals, good luck and stay strong. If you aren't, you never, ever want to go through it. It was one of the most painful experiences of my life.

Benzo and alcohol withdraw is not DEADLY. Also heroin is not used medically to relieve pain. The withdrawal symptoms are right though. As having gone through it personally a few times the worst and most prominent are probably Restless Leg Syndrome, insomnia, diarrhea, sweating, and pretty severe back and leg pain. It'll dumb down every day for about 4 days, and then you'll be fine.

Is it safe to take a 60 mg morphine to combat percocet withdrawal?

Morphine will reduce the withdrawal symotoms, but will do nothing toward detoxing from the percocet, since both are opiates. You will simply go into withdrawal again when the morphine wears off. You need to be detoxed in a medical setting.
