MS CONTIN  (MORPHINE SULFATE):  This medication is used to help relieve severe ongoing pain (such as due to cancer). Morphine belongs to a class of drugs known as opioid (narcotic) analgesics. It works in the brain to change how your body feels and responds to pain. The higher strengths of this drug (100 milligrams or more per tablet) should be used only if you have been regularly taking moderate to large amounts of opioid pain medications. These strengths may cause overdose (even death) if taken by a person who has not been regularly taking opioids. Do not use the extended-release form of morphine to relieve pain that is mild or that will go away in a few days. This medication is not for occasional ("as needed") use.   FDA Approval Date: 1993-11-08 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  Rare disorder, bulged discs It's not working. Previously was on Oxycodone 5-325-IR until this new condition numbness weakness & tingling of back arms hands fingers, since Feb,on 2/18/16, same weakness tingling extended down my left leg and left side of face, then my ankles started swelling. if I'm on my feet too long. I can't sit with this new morphine 15 MG ER. Could this be causing leg ankle feet & toes swelling, even the bottoms of my feet are swelling. This new advanced Pain Medicine clinic is a joke. They don't listen or get the rx ordered correctly. Only the physician assistant listened. Does not work for this new condition deep pain, now nerve pain and rare health condition adiposis-lipomotisis dolorosa. I just need to be able to sit with some relief from back, buttock pain, I can't stand any longer. I can't even get shoes on, had to wear slippers to the last doctor a vascular surgeon, he said there's nothing that can be done about the swelling, just compression stockings. All because I have no relief sitting. I need the Oxycodone 5mg 325ir, the pain clinic does not dispense immediate release, my family doctor just retired, the practicing nurse did not listen, now I am switching family doctors. I need some relief before I am totally crippled and wheel chair bound. I have 3 flights of stairs to my apartment, causing more damage by the day,just trying to get upstairs to my apartment carrying by groceries,or getting laundry upstairs. What is equivalent to Oxycodone 5mg Ir. F 1 months

 4  migraines very very tired and sorta hungry but maybe it was just me dont take this if u are a young teenager and be careful and dont drive!! But if u suffer from pain this is a good thing to take but it will ruin the rest of ur day by knockin you out. If you cant take the pain that you have you should take this to get rid of it but dont take it too often cuz it could become habitual because once you take this medicine alot some of the other stuff you take starts to not work as well.

 4  Fibromyalgia, Lupus, whiplash the constipation and itchiness are a given if you're already experienced with narcotics and chronic pain. i've been in pain since 2002 and i'm only 24...but i get a freaky-weird side effect beyond the constipation, drowsiness, stupidity, dizziness, etc. it has MADE ME LACTATE! and there's no way i'm preggers. Fentanyl did the same thing. also, since i've been taking it, my blood pressure has shot up. i don't know if the two are related, so don't take my word on it. very effective for my pain, though i'm already tolerant to my prescribed dosages after about a week and a half. but i've been on many narcotics over the years, so i've come to expect it. i have noticed a little cognitive impairment (i feel "stupid"), and can't do a lot of the intellectual tasks that make me happy, but for the relief it offers, it's pretty much worth it. F 24 14 days
