After years of back pain and no relief from PT programs and a lot of other meds, I found a great pain doctor who got me relatively out of pain. I can now work and function most of the time pain free. Now the medical community is becoming fearful of DEA and other authorities who are interfering because of abusers. If these people are successful in removing these types of drugs I will be on disab...

My Dr switched me from Methadone to Morphine and it is not as effective nor as long lasting as the Methadone was. The half life or Morphine is 4 hours and after 8 I start feeling withdrawal symptoms. I am taking extended release tablets. If not for the Oxycodone for breakthrough pain I wouldnt be able to handle just the Morphine. Of course I am taking it for pain but now I feel like pain is se...

I’ve been on 100 mg Morphine ER twice a day for over 2 yrs for cancer metastasis to my cervical spine, having had surgery, radio iodine therapy, radiation and chemotherapy. I am also taking hydromorphone 8 mg every 4 hours. I am about 75% pain free but sometimes unbearable. I recently missed a dose of morphine. Would this have caused me to have chills, a fever (101) and sweating profusely , just missing one dose? I would love to be rid of these meds, seriously

I had taken 4 Percocet 10 a day for years . I recently started a new doctor and he would only write me 3 a day. I tried for 3-4 months telling them 3 wasn’t enough. They switched me to Morphine sulfate ER 15 milligram 3 a day. It’s not that helpful for me.I need something for breakthrough pain. I hate how these take so long to even work and It’s hard getting some relief first thing in the morning. I would not recommend this medication

It took several days before I could even detect I was getting any relief at all. After that, my experience was only minimal.

I have RSD for 22 years and the pain just never goes away no sleep, Hardly use limb that is injured for 22 years. pain pills work a little but very severe pain getting worse day by day year by year, Now Doctors limiting my supply because of all the opiate overdose deaths I take my medication according to my doctors rules but due to the opiate deaths I am penalized for a bunch if people that abuse opiate medication. And my quality of life is diminishing because of the severe pain from the RSD and the Doctors I understand at Lot of pressure to get the patients to take less medication but some cases vary like mine and I have to suffer. E wise sone people abs. Drug addiction. But overall I am very appreciative for the treatment that I am getting due to the current state this country is in.Read More Read Less

Lower back pain. 5 surgeries. 21 Years of meds. This ER 15mg Morphine is great. No roller-coaster rides if taken every 8 hours. It helps the pain. It will excite you but not like hydrocodone. Much calmer. I feel better. 8 years on it.

Nerve damage, peripheral neuropathy, multiple system failure. Morphine is just right not to strong and not weak. It takes just enough of my pain away to walk a bit and somewhat function. I took stronger opioids but did not like how I felt. If I go over my six hour schedule I don't feel to sick. So morphine for me works very well.

I�m 62 years old now and my pain started at age 47 ! . Compared to all other medications I�ve used over the years kadian ER 12 hour capsule has given me the best relief and the time release of the capsule stopped the up and down rollacoster feeling others meds gave me, one day feeling good then the next day back in pain as the medicine wore off , I used a Morphine patch for a while.Most pain reliever meds work that way . Morphine is the most powerful pain relief medicine you will find and the most dangerous to ! if you have severe pain 24 hours a day every day like me you need a way to to treat your pain 24 hours a day and this is it ! I take the capsule every 12 hours 6 am and 6 pm , the time release way kadian works keeps the pain in check and I don�t feel HIGH when I take it then � low or in pain when it wears off � it works evenly a steady stream of medicine, just make sure to take it on time the same time every day and you will have a good chance to live your life and be able to do the things you can�t do now because the pain is unbearable! And if you use it as I mentioned it�s the best way and the safest way I know to use Morphine!Read More Read Less

It doesn't ease the pain like the smaller dark blue morphine I was taking. Had to use a different pharmacy as I had to go to my Dr in a different town. My pain is a 6 after taking the 270 morphine. Is a 3 with the midnight blue one. Thank God for the lortab I have for break through pain.

I take one 100mg a day and it works fine without the side effects of some of the more stronger meds the Dr has had me on. This one don't cause bowel problems like the Opana and Fentanyl so far. Easy to take 1 a day and get through my work days.

I've been using this medication for a little over 5 years now and I can't lie at first I thought it was a gift from God himself the pain in my back and right leg were gone are gone only if I take my medicine it's my number one priority every day just so I can function and not be sick from the withdrawal which is inevitable and I've tried everything to be able to stop using and completely kick I don't have much luck considering I am still dependent on it but probably the best thing I've used was marijuana high grade Kush it takes the nausea and ache and anxiety away for a little bit still going to be uncomfortable but it makes it bearable and only lasts for 3 to 7 days but marijuana helps a lot for withdrawalRead More Read Less

I have had 4 spinal fusions and a spinal cord stimulator implanted in my back and was told if i don't have another fusion I will not be able to walk soon. I used to be on 200mcg Duragesic patch (2-100 mcg each) and I was ok unless I did too much bending which wasn't alot. and when the government made the dr. reduce medicine, they don't want me above 37 mcg duragesic which is crazy so I am having to try out a lot of different meds which nothing is working. If they can't control my pain now, do they really think I'm going to have more surgery. Read More Read Less

I have Fibromyalgia, Psoriatic Arthritis, Degenerative Disc Disease, spinal stenosis,spondylosis (sp?)among several other DXs. Have had 3 lower back surgeries, last one was a discectomy with spinal fusion and a "cage" and screws in spine. one cervical discectomy and fusion, I also have SEVERE muscle spasms that are like ROCKS in place of back and neck muscles 24 hrs a day, I take morphine sulfate 30mg IR every 6 hours. I WISH I could take ER meds, but they keep me awake for days. When I first started taking this it worked great, but I also had 10 mg percocet, 4 times daily for breakthrough pain. My current doc will not give me anything for breakthrough pain as she claims the morphine IS a breakthrough med. Problem is, when I was in pain mgmt, they had no problem writing 120 morphine QID and 120 percocet QID for breakthrough. That worked fantastic and I actually could function in my highly physical workplace. When I changed from pain mgmt, to a rheumatologist, she ONLY will write for 90 morphine....so I find myself struggling in my job, struggling with bringing my pain down to a 6 or 7 on the pain scale, when its ALWAYS at 10 plus. I understand that drs are worried about patients selling on the street, but I am TIRED of my doc punishing me foe someone elses problems, dishonesty and mistakes. Because someone else screwed up, TRUE pain patients are not getting the treatment they deserve and need. I have 100% complied, in pain mgmt, and also in the pain contract I am required to sign with my rheumatologist. I wish doctors would realize that there is NO SUCH THING as a cookie cutter patient.

My Dr switched me from Methadone to Morphine and it is not as effective nor as long lasting as the Methadone was. The half life or Morphine is 4 hours and after 8 I start feeling withdrawal symptoms. I am taking extended release tablets. If not for the Oxycodone for breakthrough pain I wouldnt be able to handle just the Morphine. Of course I am taking it for pain but now I feel like pain is second on my list, Im more worried about withdrawal symtoms which is worse. Im at a point where Im ready to try to get off of all of it. I still feel pain even on it so why bother. It just does not work like a pain killer should. My husband was told when he broke his leg after being given a shot of morphine that the morphine wouldnt take away his pain but it would make him not care about it. I thought, wow is that how it works because I sure care about it. I dont recommend it at all. Read More Read Less

my worry, like most is the govt getting involved. They think it is too easy to get on the streets. At one time was on hydrocodone, the govt got involved and pain drs afrsaid to write script. So they made it hard to get script but is even more availaible on the strret if could afford it. This is what happens, the only people they stop from getting a med is the ones that really need it.

I have 3 Degenerated disc between L-3 and S-1 and 2 are herniated. Found out last year I have Cervical Spinal Stenosis and almost all my disc in my neck are degenerated. If I look up to fast, I black out and jerk and shake until the black out passes. Had been taking Oxycontin 20 mg. 2 x a day and Percocet 10 mg. 3 x for break thru pain for abut 5 years. Built up a tolerance and was in pain constantly. Doc switched me to MS Contin 30 mg. 2 x a day and Morphine Instant Release 15 mg. 2 x a day. Only been taking it a few days and it does seem to help better than the Oxy drugs. I'm sure after a few months, I'll need something stronger. Actually feel like doing stuff around the house to where before, I had to Force myself to get up just to load dish washer or other things in the house. Thank God I have a riding lawn mower or the grass would get mowed. Now I able to get up for more than a few minutes before having to sit or lay down like before. Normally I'd have to lay down for about an hour 2 to 3 times a day. Haven't had to since starting the Morphine ER and IR.Read More Read Less
