Have Intrathecal Pump. Taking Morphine, Clonidine. Concerned About Repeated Medication

Hi, I have had an Intrathecal Pump inplanted for 6 .5 years now. Over the time the drs have altered the dosage. I am currently on Morphine 8.085 mg/day and Clonidine 80.85 a funny mg/day. My doctors turned down the doesage last year and I was a mess after the withdrawals. I ended up having to take added medication In the end my dose was put back up to what I have written. They now wish to try it again and I'm concerned about this happening again. I guess I just want to know if this dosage is really high and should I try it again.
