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.

This medication works very well for me. It makes my pain almost disappear. The only problem I have with this drug is that it seems when Im on it I cant control my rage. But otherwise it is a great drug for treating chronic pain.

This Medication was not working well for me, I had to switch to the regular 60 MG of Extended Release tablet TID with 15 MG of IR TID for adequate pain control, the Kadian and Avinza didn't seem to work for 24 hours on me as they proclaim to do they just didn't have the staying power even with Lortab as a breakthrough pain reliever. sorry...

Kidney Stones and severe renal colic pain relief comes quickly. Not for longterm use. Be very careful with dosage.

I stay depressed and don't want to leave the house or keep up my appearance. Every thing in my home is behind, and I just don't have the energy or desire to get things done.

Morphine is really a great drug and very useful in controlling my pain. I am an amputee and it works great!
