| 1 | Back pain | I chewed one up and now I have severe pain in the center of my chest. | F | 40 | 1 days 30mg er | 2/17/2017 | 1 | uncontrollable osteoarthritis pain, | Constipation, no pain relief. Withdrawal even though it's not helping. | I don't know why this is given to me. I tell doc it's not helping and he keeps giving me same. Doc said if I don't like it to find another doctor. | F | 63 | 1 years 15 mgs x 2 | 11/18/2016 | 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 | 4/25/2016 | 1 | stenosis | None got off dilaudid want to get off this one taking tramadol am I gonna withdraw with low dose | F | 44 | 4 months 15mg | 10/24/2015 | 1 | Bulging disc & stenosis & nerve pai | No help with taking pain or discomfort away instead acts like a pycchiatric type drug. No comfort which takes away tension cause of pain. | When the meds have worked in the past for breakthrough pain management it was slow release which keeps you from getting addicted, when it works its a life saving relief but now not working at all my dictir offered me diladid & now I wish I would have listened!!! | F | 58 | 3 years 15 mg | 10/2/2015 | 1 | chronia pain | Constipation, histamine releaes, withdrawal seems to occur extremely even before next daily doaw which is odd to me since I have been taking opiates since 1996 after a c3 fracture | I would rate this medication near the bottom of the list since it has such a low bioavailability. I was doing fairly well with Kadian 40mg 1x/day and 4-10mg Lortabs for breakthrough pain. Had my first auto accident that was my fault in over 38 years of driving. The courts are saying that I am going to lose my license for a year/fines/vasap/and moreBS. They/COURT has no blood work, just knowledge that where I am prescribed a narcotic, so can by the LAW WILL "assume" I was impaired and was the cause of the accident. It was raining on a road that is very narrow and only a double line separates the traffic, I admit I veered into the oncoming traffic, but the medication was not what caused me to veer over. BEWARE, COURTS NO DAYS HAVE LAWS STIPULATING THAT "ANY AMOUNT" OF LEGAL OR ILLICIT DRUG IN YOUR SYSTEM CAN BE IMPAIRING. No blood.urine analysis for proof? BS, I call this hanging judge type of justice! BEWARE, AND DON'T DRIVE FOR ABOUT 4 DAYS AFTER TAKING YOUR MEDICATION IF AN OPIATE, MUSCLE RELAXER! STAY IN PAIN/and withdrwal UNTIL YOU GET HOME THE 4-5TH DAY. THAT IS JUST IN CASE YOU HAVE AN AUTO ACCIDENT, BECAUSE Va.18.2-266 SAYS THE COURT CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT TO UNLESS YOU ARE A LAWYER OR RICH BUSINESSMAN THAT THEY FEEL MIGHT USE PRECEdDENT CASES LIKE I HAVE DISCOVERED MYSELF BUT ATTORNEYS SAY THE COURTS ARE DEAF TO THESE CASES, LOL/LOL/LOL, WHICH INDICATE I SHOULD BE NOT GULITY OF A DUID! NEVER DRIVE AFTER TAKING A DRUG, EVEN MANY OTC DRUGS. | M | 54 | 1 years 30mg 2X day | 3/12/2014 | 1 | fusion L2 - S1 & C3 - C5 CHONIC P | There was not enough relief,piss poor pain killer in general.... | M | 58 | 1 days 30mg.3xDAY | 8/29/2012 | 1 | Spinal fusion l-4&5 s1 | Nasea, severe constipation | F | 41 | 10 days 60 mg er | 5/13/2012 | 1 | Kidney Stone | Really uncomfortable, barely took any edge off the pain. Made me feel like my head was swelling and left me nauseated. My pain killer tolerance is fairly high. Any kind of pain relief faded after half an hour. | F | 21 | 1 days IV ? 1X day | 2/16/2011 | 1 | IBD | Drowsiness, severe anxiety, gassiness, major constipation | I take this medication mostly in the form of codeine. This horrible drug gives me endless anxiety, as a result, making me lose sleep. It also gives me weird thoughts/feelings that I can't explain. This medication works for the pain; however, it causes extreme gassiness when its effects are over. If I had a choice, I would definitely take fentanyl over morphine. | M | 25 | 1 days 10 mg 2X AN | 7/7/2010 | 1 | Severed spinal cord | Constipation, nausea, fatigue, stomach cramps, foggy mind (very poor ability to concentrate) doesn't help relieve pain | M | 45 | 3 weeks | 1/19/2008 | 1 | Severe scoliosis/DJD/arthritis | Headaches every morning, constipation, SHORT TEMPER & can't sleep. Very little pain relief. | I was on the Duragesic patch & was happy, however the insurance stopped covering it. Started taking oxycontin and that was fine until the generic came out, then the insurance wouldn't cover the brand and the generic kept me up all night. Doctor put me on Percocet 10/325 but I was taking 180 of them a month so I asked to switch to something long lasting...and MS Contin it was. Put me on 30mg every 12 hours. It doesn't touch the pain and I'm totally constipated and very irritable. I'm yelling at my 7yr old about everything which is not like me. I also cannot sleep to save my life, once I do fall asleep, the slighest noise wakes me up and scares me to where I think I'm having a heart attack. I also wake up with a "hangover" headache every morning. I can't wait to go back to the doctor in 2 days. Hopefully they'll put me back on the percocet. This is the worst drug. | F | 32 | 27 days | 4/25/2006 | 1 | Injection of it before Spinal Tap | Horrible rash, redness and hives at injection site! | It didn't releive any pain, just made me itch like crazy and I flt like my arm would explode! It sucks! | F | 27 | 1 times | 4/20/2006 | 1 | C-3-4,C-5-6,C-7, L-3,L-4,L-5,S-1 | Constaption,Trouble Uraine,Dizzy, Trouble Breathing,Sleeping all the time | I have been on 40MG of Oxycontin 3 times a day with Percett for breaking thru pain and I was having no trouble for 5 years, I have Degen,Disc Disease in both my neck and back and even had a back operation on L-5 and S-1 where they inserted 3 screws and did not help even with therphy and injections which where supposed to block the pain but never did help.I also need neck surgery again for C-6,C-7 and a pinched nerve and they won`t approve that either. Then my husband work changed insurance and they won`t pay for it. Now they put me on MS Contin and it does not help but to make me a junkie, the dozes keep changing and they keep giving me other meds, I don`t want to get into that. I could function on the Oxycontin and no one even knew I was on any pain meds. I have been on this for 2 weeks and I hate it, I feel like a zombie and don`t get out of bed expect to go to the bathroom which is very hard to do either one. Insurance Companies don`t understand severe pain all they understand is paying less money, and we have to suffer as junkies to get just a little relief. | F | 60 | 2 weeks | 8/14/2005 | 1 | back surgery | FOR GET IT I NEED MY OXCIES INS,WONT PAY NO MORE | UNSAFE DRUG | M | 49 | 6 days | 7/21/2005 | 2 | Multiple Sclerosis / Spine pain | Can't poop. :O) Really tired and seem to pee a lot more. | I have been on Percocet for about 5 years . I was recently switched to MS Contin 15mg 1X daily every 12 hours. Not sure if it's the low dosage but it doesn't do much for pain. | F | 31 | 4 days 15mg 1X day | 5/11/2010 | 2 | chronic pain | does not seen to work for me, constipation | was on oxy 20mg 2 times a day, my doc wanted to try something different, does not work at all, next appointment will be asking for the oxy back | F | 56 | 2 weeks | 6/15/2008 | 2 | annular tear L-4, L-5 disc | Constipation (resolved with miralax), blurred vision, waking up at night with severe dry mouth that almost makes me choke b/c of no saliva. Just began very sharp abdominal pain that bends me over (going to doctor tomorrow!)I am already in enough pain that adding these side effects is not worth it for me. My pain averages around 7 (from 1-10)with the ms contin. So not much relief there. | F | 45 | 41 days | 11/19/2007 | 2 | severe joint pain | Horrible nightmares when taken at night.constipation,fatigue. | in delaware,state very uptight when it comes to narcs.does this drug effect your blood pressure? i really don't feel this drug is helping my pain, also has a nasty withdrawal.some kind of monster. | M | 39 | 9 months | 8/4/2007 | 2 | chronic abdominal pain | Nausea, dizziness, itching | It doesn't last 12 hours like it's usually ordered, but for anyone else out there that experienced the same thing, know that your doctor can order it for you to take every 8 hours instead. | F | 37 | 7 days | 3/19/2007 |
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)
