Other than occasional breakthrough pain, depending on the level of my activities, I have had no side effects. | I am at this moment on day 4 of a horrible detox by myself. I am in this situation because I lost a week's worth of pills somehow (can't find the bottle...think it fell out of the car at the gas station). The pain clinic filled next Rx early but said I had to make them last 5 weeks...I could not (or did not)...afraid to call them again...can get next refill in 3 more days! Pain is worse than yearning for drug, foggy-headed, weak, and shaky. Never again will I let this happen. Help or comments appreciated!! Also afraid to give email address. | M | 55 | | 9/9/2008 | 3 | back and neck surgery went bad | none yet | Need info. I am really scared about drugs. I was on oxy 20mg twice daily for a month. I took it once aday and was scared to death after what I say you all say on the comments about it. I dumped remaining out in doctors commode and he wrote me scripts for mscontin 15mg twice daily. Just wanted to know what you all think. If I stop will I have the withdrawals you all talked about with oxy. I had to give a rating but havent taken it yet. | M | 62 | 15mg 2X day | 9/29/2011 | 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 | 3 | Multiple slipped discs and disc deg | None other than being very sleepy. | I have just started this medicine, was prescribed 30mg twice daily with Lodine for inflammation and Norco 10/325 for breakthrough. I took the first one this morning when I woke up in horrible pain as usual and it did nothing. Does it take a few days to kick in? I have had to take 2 Norco's since to calm the pain down and I have taken the second dose for today at only 3:30pm and the first one was at 7am. It certainly doesn't last 12 hours and I really got no relief? Any suggestions? | F | 29 | 2 times | 3/15/2007 | 5 | back fusion L 4, L 5, S 1 | constipation, sweating | I am currently on Kadian ( extended release morphine ) I want to switch back to MS contin as my back pain has subsided due to surgery. I used MS before my surgery. Not as effective as kadian because you need to take more pills. Kadian lasts longer. I have heard it is very hard to go off of morphine. I weaned myself off from 400 mg. to 100 mg. Got very sick when I just stopped all together though. My pain management doc wanted to take me down slowly but I want off. I see him Monday so we will see.As far as the pharmacies, you do get looks but who cares. Nobody knows how much pain you are in so tell them to stick it. Kadian is very expensive & MS is not so that is a plus too. No health ins. here. Good luck to all! | F | 38 | 1 days | 5/14/2005 | 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 | 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 | 4 | Ruptured Disc Acute and Cronic Pain | Just took for the first time yesterday. Have been on Hydrocodeine for night, Darvocet for working, Naproxin, Muscle Relaxers and Steroid packs as well as shots of pain relievers and steroids. Going to a Pain Management Center to start a round of Epidural Steroid shots to try and put off back fushion surgery as long as possible. I have a VERY difficult time taking pills of any kind without gagging and vomiting. But I liked that the pills were tiny and alot easier to take. However, that said, I could not sleep last night, had problems breathing which I believe was due to panic attacks. I was very worried about taking morphine, and read all the side effects that could occur and just went into panic mode. But Hydrocodeine just doesn't help me. It only messes with my head. But I felt better a couple hours after taking the first dose and feel like a new woman today. | F | 34 | 1 days | 5/11/2005 | 4 | arthritas.fibro,much more! | 1 days 90 mg dail | 1/5/2013 | 3 | I had c-3,4,5 fused in 2004 right | Constapation cant sleep dont feal myself | M | 52 | 1 days 30tbda | 10/9/2012 | 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 | 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 | 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 |
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)
