| 5 | Severe pains | Sleepy Diarrhea | F | 68 | 2 weeks 90 MG | 8/22/2017 | 5 | My chronic Neck and bk pain | Well I didn't want to take them everyday if I'm not having excruciating pain but today isn't as bad as usual so I haven't took one and I'm nauseated an not sure if it's skipping a day or if I jus don't feel good. | I feel really good about the medicine and wasn't sure if you have to take it every 12 hours or just when you're dying in pain and I highly recommend it and wish the younger generation would stop using and abusing it to get high on when people with severely Chronic pain sufferers like myself needs it and that doesn't abuse it at all I most definitely need it as I'm sure other true chronic pain sufferers feels as I do. | F | 53 | 1 days 15x2 | 2/25/2017 | 5 | Severe Osteoarthritis in both knees | Take 3xs a day. Along with Percocet and Tramodols. I got a different manufacturer for my last script and I have about 2 weeks in me and suddenly both legs are swollen and is making it more difficult to walk. I already walk with crutches. | F | 8 years 30 mg ER | 2/21/2017 | 5 | Spine C2-C7, L3-5s1,car accident | Just Constpation.(can manage) No Drug Cravings due to long acting, slow release of meds. | This medicine gave me my life back! When you are so debilitated by Pain that u can't move, u want to Die, At least the Pain would be done in Death. No More Surgery would help, but My Doctor helped me get relief. I'm so sick of Drug addicts taking Narcotics and killing themselves. Then Docs getting blamed, The meds get blamed & patients R questioned to Y we R in Pain in the First place! Not everyone who takes pain meds is abusing them! If A Diabetic took 2 much insulin, or a patient w/ HBP OD' on their meds due to not following prescribing orders, is it the Docs fault? It's no different for Pain meds. If a Doctor prescribes medicine it's up to the Patients to take it as prescribed. Y should we SUFFER w/ Pain? Labor pain was nothing compared to what I feel without my meds. I can't imagine not being allowed to take my medicine it scares me more than anything, and not because I want to get high, but because I want relief & to be a Mother & a Wife, not a perpetual bedridden patient! Patients who don't abuse their meds & have a true medical problem need to unite together! How can we do this? Our story needs to be told!!! | F | 36 | 7 years 200mgx2 | 6/2/2016 | 5 | L4, L5, S1,L/R knees shattered | Dry mouth Mild nausea which would happen for 20 min every few hours which i believe was the tablet teleasing more medication. Eased after a day or two. For withdrawals get immodium ad or any lopermide otc. Take equivalent dose as you would an opiate(do not need more then 20mg once per 24 hours. I take 10 2mg once a day). No withdrawal except low energy. Lots of water for constipation. Promise, all physical symptoms of withdrawals are gone. | Miracle drug. Was in helicopter crash, Iraq 2004 and could not walk for 18 months. Went through surgeries, Pt, nerve blocks, ablations to no effect. I was at the end of my rope when i went to what i thought was my final appt. Was asked to try one more drug which was MS Contin ER 15mg. Was taking lortab 10mg. With in 1 hour i was like i was 13 years before. No pain, no worries, cried the first 4 hours just from finally feeling normal, pain free in as long as i could remember. Do not sit back..doctors are under the gun from government and drug seekers. We as a group have to push and push hard both medically and politically. Research, understand and take your future back from the decisions of big business and government. Doctors want to help us but there are rules. Review the medication and not your personal opinions of your doctors. No help get up walk out. It took me 13 years to find someone to help. They are out there. Support them and follow thier instructions to the letter. One slip we all lose credit. | M | 38 | 1 months 15mg 2x da | 4/28/2016 | 5 | cancer pain and fibromyalgia | I've been taken down from 4 100m a day to 2 100m a day and now I'm extremely sick is this withdrawal | I feel horrible deeply depressed can't focus is this dangerous | F | 56 | 9 days 100m 1 4x | 8/24/2015 | 5 | chronic back pain | Some blurred vision,constipation,memory loss ,loss of libido and sweating. | Works very well to control pain.I need to get off of it because some people who are not in pain want to judge me for taking it.They think I get a high or something,when I can't tell I have taken it except my pain goes away. | F | 56 | 4 years 100 mg x4 | 6/1/2015 | 5 | sciatic nerve pain, herniated disc | None, other than drowsiness. | This has changed my life. I'm not afraid to go places, play with my grandkids. I could not have imagined life without pain, n now I'm living it. | F | 48 | 1 days 20mg 3xday | 1/21/2015 | 5 | Severe neck pain/herniated discs | Constipation, but miralax works great! MS Contin was a life saver! I had to quit taking it due to stomach issues from what the OxyContin OP did to me prior to taking MS Contin. I will go back to MS Contin if my stomach ever heals fully. I was taking 60mg three times a day and I was able to finally take care of the household and enjoy my hobbies. MS Contin had the fewest side effects compared to all the other long acting pain relievers out there. | F | 40 | 2 years 60mg TID | 10/14/2013 | 5 | Chronic Knee pain status post 3 ops | A little constipation remedied with stool softener with senna | Was on Lortab for 4 years, 40 mg a day until doctor realized it wasn't working any longer. Now taking 15 mg twice a day with the Lortab and I can walk, do stairs, drive, etc without killer pain | M | 55 | 2 months 15 2X day | 9/20/2013 | 5 | Severe Leg Pain, Severe Akathesia | Morphine Sulfate gave me my life back. For years iv been struggling with pain, not having a quality of life, now i feel like myself again. It literally gave me my life back. Thank you! | F | 1 years | 9/16/2013 | 5 | SPINAL FUSION L2, L3, L4, L5 & S1 | The only issue was constipation, after about one month it subsided and my body adjusted to the medication. | MS Contin 60mg three times daily controls my pain much better than Fentanyl. I am now able to have somewhat of a quality of life and not have to deal with the torture of pack pain on a daily basis. I am now able to walk and spend time with my family. The only bad thing is it took the pain management physician 2 1/2 years to realize I was having issues with the Fentanyl due to the fact the medication only lasted for 18 hours (not 72 hours). He finally switched my medication to MS Contin with some resistance. | M | 59 | 7 months 60MG 3X day | 7/7/2012 | 5 | severe lower back pain | constipation is my main complaint | I used to be on 60mg bid, I insisted on going down to 30mg bid, it does not work as well and in more pain, but I would rather not have to take any pain medication if it is not necessary. I do take another med for break through pain and have for 4 years. | F | 46 | 4 years 30mg 2X day | 6/13/2012 | 5 | autoimmunes,fibro,back shot.... | Actually not many..some constipation a little tired but will | F | 46 | 3 days 100mg | 4/26/2012 | 5 | back and leg and hand pain | tast in mouth and dry mouth | M | 38 | 6 months 30 | 3/3/2012 | 5 | Severe chronic pain | Occasional constipation, some withdrawals when managing | c2/3 L3/3/5 S1 due to accident. Had laminectomy, and other surgery. My life, marriage, work, everything was destroyed while I tried to cope for years with chronic pain. Dr's said things like "you walked in here, you can walk out." Yes I have long hair, and I am eccentric, but do not use any recreational drugs. Finally, through a caring nurse friend I found a doctor who was appalled at my previous treatment and gave me MS Contin. I live a reasonably normal life now. Management is important. Each month I reduce my dose to 1 x 60mg per day taken at 10am. Yes I get the flu symptoms and some unpleasant side effects for the 2 to 3 days, but when I get back to the normal dose the effect is dramatic and I have my energy back. It takes management. Constipation is a definite but can be ameliorated easily. I take one teaspoon of Nu-Lax (contains senna, pears, apricot, figs, dates, sucrose and glucose and is a very natural laxative) Also two glasses of Metamucil per day. Pleasant taste, orange or other fruit flavours which will work as a stool softener. I do recommend putting up with the 'cleansing' procedure once a month to flush out the excess morphine. It will be marginally unpleasant, but the effort is well worth it. Ms Contin has given me my life back. | M | 63 | 7 years 60mg 2X day | 2/21/2012 | 5 | Nerve damage from Whipple procedure | Always have to be cautious of constipation. Biggest problem now is DEA cracking down on legitimate cancer centers like Vanderbilt. All of the doctors are scared to death and admit they are no longer in charge of my healthcare. Tried to change and no doctor would go near me. They scraped the sheath of of a very large nerve and told me I would have pain for life. I don't think they thought I would live this long. | M | 58 | 8 years 400MG 3X day | 2/7/2012 | 5 | Spinal fusion of L2, L3, L4, L5, S1 | MS Contin has given me my life back. I was on Fentanyl patches for a period of 3 1/2 years and they only provided pain relief for 18 hours. I am no longer haunted by the never ending pain in my lumbar spine. Side effects was constipation but that has deminished. Overall a good medication. | M | 59 | 6 months 60mg X 2 | 2/6/2012 | 5 | pain:legs,back;ie too much surgery | rapid speech some contipation lasted 3weeks | as most have said ;oxy's can cause behavorial problems but some euphoria and nausea. you must ween you self off .i did by splitting them taking only one. i never knew i could take lower dose with some other med for break through,after my surgery i got off them but always wanted oycodone. its agood drug and life giver and taker.when flair ups lortabs were prescribed and flair-up was bareable to take advil but last flair-up so bad,but doctor treated me like you dont need medicine but said pain real, i am buddist & i need to chant evryday and it hurts to sit up but i manage to pray and three weeks for help. finally i took friend to his dr and he told about ms and this beats taking 4 -5 loratabs and i feel alot less pain and know when to shut up and happier- cymbalta helps aids in mood stabilization. IAM grateful this is n ot the buzz drug but actually gets to the pain with a norco at some point to make the day. respectfully | M | 45 | 60 days 30mg 2X day | 11/22/2011 | 5 | 3 herniated spinal discs; sciatica | Constipation, itching, mild nausea, mild sedation. No euphoria, and isn't too "loopy" to function. | I love this med - it's made my life partially managable again after a bad fall on my tailbone, which ruptured 3 spinal cord discs in my lower back (L-4, L-5, S-1). I have herniated disc disorder with sciatica (which is radiating/shooting pains down my legs, usually the left one). I've got severe nerve damage in my legs due to the jelly from the ruptured discs adding too much pressure on my spinal cord. MS Contin works even more effectively with Chitosan supplements. Google it - I speak the truth, from experience. I prefer ENDO generics, because they seem to release a bit faster. Mallinkradt (sp?) are annoying because they take FOREVER to kick in but once they do, they're fine. The other I've had are Watson, which I very much like as well due to earlier feeling of analgesia onset. | F | 28 | 9 months 30mg 3X day | 11/15/2011 |
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)
