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...

Take this for degenerative disc disease and other chronic pain syndromes- taken along with a break thru medication the combo works well. As Morphine at 10mg has short relief life then use as prescribed oxy codone(percocett)(5/325) as break thru-does work, you do build tolerance and constipation an issue- but every year or so I break off for 60 days to hydrocodone to allow receptors to re acitivate and this seem to do the trick

I take for break through pain along with Oxycontin. Morphine seems to take care of most of the break through pain but basically both meds just take the edge off my pain.

After 10+ years with degenerative disc disease (started with 1 disc now is 4), L3-S1. Getting worse every month. Trying everything to avoid surgery. Was taking 30mg methadone daily for long time relief and 8 5/325 oxycodone/APAP for breakthrough pain. Pain was not being controlled with oxycodone anymore after 3 1/2 years taking it. Switched to 15mg IR morphine 3x daily for breakthrough pain. Still unsure if it helps like it should. Tolerance is a factor but looking to switch off methadone after 4 years to something else. Pain ranges from a 3 to a 9 daily. Do physical therapy, warm water pool therapy, etc. Looking for some pain relief but it's coming down to surgery soon if things stay the same. Read More Read Less

Three back surgeries, severe degenerative disc disease. A couple of bad accidents. Arthritis… bla bla bla. Anyway, I started on 15’s mgs. For a months with no relief, moved up to 30’s twice a day along with oxy 5’s, I didn’t like the Morphine’s at first, felt a little nauseated for the first couple of weeks, but once your body gets used to it, all will improve. It seems to work for the most part. You better be up on your fiber as you will clog up… Constipation!

I've been on 100mg. twice a day now for about 6 yrs. the drugs effectiveness is wearing off and I believe my pain doctor will have to substitute very shortly. my biggest complaints are the severe constipation and the almost non-stop sweating. it could be 40 below zero and I'm sitting around perspiring like crazy. hopefully my new high fiber diet will ease the constipation. I'm going to ask my doctor to switch me back to oxycodone for a while so my body can forget the morphine for awhile.

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 disability. My doctor is extremely careful as to who gets what and does not need help from these "authorities". For me, this medication is a God send and has not affected me adversely in any way. My hope is that it can continue until there is a cure for my situation.Read More Read Less

The price has gone from $114.00 for a 3 month supply to $317.00, I'm trying to find another drug similar to this that isn't so expensive.

This particular pill causes extreme constipation, and nausea. It works ok at times, but the severe constipation and nausea sometimes cancels out the benefit in my opinion.

Had severe face/mouth/jaw pain in addition to chronic back pain due to severe spinal stenosis. Back pain I could tolerate. Face pain was excruciating. I was literally unable to function and was in bed 20 hrs on some days. Began taking morphine oral along with Lyrica. Began feeling better within days and after a week felt fantastic. I must clarify that I began taking the morphine first and felt better with it, but the Lyrica really aced it. I am now pain free, the first time in years. I feel great, have more energy and NO pain. I am opioid tolerant, but only take 50mg TID (morphine), [75mg Lyrica BID]. I also take 10 mg Percocet for breakthrough, which only happened once in 2 months. I've had no negative reactions. For me, this is truly a wonder drug. I encourage those who have severe pain to ask their Provider to try this medication. Good luck to all.Read More Read Less
