MORPHINE SULFATE  (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: 2006-10-27 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 4  Post Op Pain Nausea, extreme tightness in chest and neck that caused me to have anxiety troubles. It did take care of the pain and made me extremely tired. The nausea was taken care of through anti-nausea meds. The worst part was the tightness I felt in my chest and neck as it was being injected into my IV. It felt as tho I was having trouble breathing and that caused me to panic. F 23 3 days

 1  Scoliosis & herniated discs This pill was a nightmare, in terms of side effects. I began sweating at night so bad that I had to wash my pillows & bedding several times a week. It made me terribly thirsty, but no matter how much water and other fluids I drank, I couldn't stay hydrated. I could NOT get an erection, even with ED drugs. And, worst of all, I became *TERRIBLY* constipated. Laxatives, stool softeners, and even enema kits did NOTHING. It got so bad that, to defecate, I had to put on a latex glove and insert a finger in my rectum to dislodge my fecal matter. It came out in small marble-sized pieces which were VERY hard and dry. As time went on, the pieces got harder and dryer and irritated my colon, causing bleeding. Gross? Yes, not only that but horribly embarrassing, disgusting, humiliating; thank God my wife is a medical professional and understood. As soon as my new medication becomes available, I'm quitting. It never really helped in terms of pain, other than leveling off the "peaks" and "valleys" that I felt from taking Percocet. I slept a little better; that is, until the sweating (mentioned above) got so bad that I was tossing and turning every half-hour. On its own, even in larger doses taken experimentally (up to 3x the level prescribed), it NEVER ONCE took the pain away. It was, at best, a tool to help manage it. In contrast, Percocet and methadone can take the pain away completely for a time. M 28 4 months

 1  Oral Pain VOMITING VOMITING VOMITING Stomach cramps. I would rather be in excrutiating pain than ever take this again. I have taken it on 2 seperate occasions and it did nothing for pain, no groovy side effects. Just SICK!! Nothing makes me physically ill. I have a stomach of steel, but this kills me! Stick to the Vicodin and Percocets. F 29 2 times

 4  Pain relief aft motorcycle accident Dry throat/dehydration, Constipation, sleep difficulties, mood swings, depression, lethargy, sweating/feeling hot all the time, acne (mainly on back and shoulders). 1 night of proper scary hallucinations (was convinced people were grabbing my face/head and trying to stab me!). Had been taking Tramadol for back pain for 18months prior to motorcycle accident, which I feel reduced my reactions to morphine sulphate as my system is used to opiate type pain relief (Tramadol initially caused itching, dizziness/light headed and mild nausea). Morphine Sulphate is great at relieving the pain of my complex talus, pelvic and lumbar fractures, however it doesn't seem to help with coxsyx pain and it wears off within approx 4hrs. I also have Oramorph for relief between the 12 hourly tablets. M 31 4 months
20mg 12hrs

 4  Deg. Bone Disease, Fractured Lumbar Itching, Headache, Sleep Disturbance, Constipation, Loss of appetite, Irritabilty, Felt ill a couple times (nausea) My pain management Dr Prescribed me Morphine 15mg Release tablet 1 twice a day. The main problem I have had was the Itching. It keeps me up & driving me insane. I have gotten irritable also. It has helped with some of the pain in my back but not all of it. I have degenaritve (sc) Bone disease, Fractured my L-spine, 3 bulging disks, really bad scoliosis, all but the last was caused by an flipping a ATV down a beach, Except for the bone disease which runs in family. I am a kidney dialysis pt & have a lot of pain from hollowed bones, old breaks so. Opposed to what the dr wanted to give me (methadone low dosages) I have to rate this a 4 I am satisfied but some pain still there. Hopefully when I start my Cortisol injections I wont have to be on as much. I really cant stand the itching! I don't remember Morphine itching like this when I was in hospital for 6 months. Thats why I agreed to it. Didn't think itching this bad would be an issue. Oh well I'm hoping it subside a little after taking it a little longer F 32 1 weeks
