Thanks Sonny Harper | M | 40 | 1 days | 11/13/2015 | 5 | A 33 foot fall crushed back/legs | None. | Works well with chronic pain | M | 62 | 6 years 60 mg 4X day | 5/26/2015 | 5 | osreoarthritis | None | Why does he want me stop it before i have my surgery? | 69 | 10 years 30 mg | 2/17/2015 | 5 | Total hip replacement | Side effects: constipation, pain reduction that lead me to believe and act (in therapy) in the belief that I could progress faster in recovery than was reasonable to believe, mild withdrawal, signs and symptoms after end of prescription, during the time when post operative depression for total hip replacement is most prevalent | Outstanding pain relief after Total Hip Replacement due to Rapid Onset Dysbaric Osteonecrosis(commercial Deep Sea Diver in the '70's and '80's). Suggest greater emphasis on structured weaning off of morphine sulfate concomitantly with the initiation of anti-depressant medication therapy during that transition time with Total Hip Replacement. | M | 61 | 14 days 2-4 mg 3X day | 9/5/2013 | 5 | ATN/TN/ON & Fusion/Discectomy/Lamin | 30 MG .tid or 45 MG .bid - PRN (I generally don't do either. I usually take 60 MG once a day...twice if extreme pain is present) Severe constipation. Aporoximately 8 out of 10 times, it takes the edge off my pain for: • bilateral Atypical Trigeminal Neuralgia (ATN) (Dx'd 1995 but had since 1986) • bilateral Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) (Dx'd 1995 but had since 1986) • Occipital Neuralgia (ON) (Dx'd 10-10-2011 after bilateral Gamma Knife Radiosurgery - GKR). • L4-L5 & L5-S1 Fusion, Discectomy, & Laminectomy (Dx'd 2008). Overall: 25 years of Severe Chronic Pain | F | 42 | 2 years 90 MG | 5/9/2012 | 5 | fibromyalgia | Dehydration and constipation, loss of appetite, nausea, bad dreams | Very clear that this is an 8-hour drug for me, not 12 hour. Worked slowly from 15mg each dose to current 90, where I have been for a month with virtually no breakthrough pain. I do not have the craving that Oxycodone by itself left me with, and if I need to take oxycodone for rare breakthrough pain there is still no craving and no euphoria. NO mania of the kind that I had on Lyrica for 3 years before it went sour altogether. The side-effects are unpleasant, and the stigma is difficult psychologically, but after two decades of trying 44 medications as well as alternative treatment I am finally in no pain. Now for the rest of the symptoms, which are much more noticeable now that I'm no longer in pain. | F | 65 | 2 months 90 MG 3X day | 2/13/2012 | 5 | Multilevel posterior lumbar fusion | After surgery I was taking 30mg 3x daily until end of second month when I cut back to 30mg 2x daily. I recently (at month 5, week ago) cut back to 15mg 2x daily. Still using stool softeners and laxatives. Very important to drink lots (more than normal) of water to keep the body hydrated. | M | 48 | 155 days 30 3X day | 10/13/2011 Patient History | 5 | Patellar Dislocation | It made me very tired and I crashed easily. Also, when I got into the wheelchair it made me feel very nauseated causing me to throw up. | BUTTTTTT the morphine worked to my advantage and when the doctor relocated my knee I didn't feel a thing! | F | 15 | 1 times 60 1X O | 10/2/2011 | 5 | Failed back surgery. | The only side effects I might have from this med is dry mouth when I awake from sleeping. | I take a 30 MG ER and a 15 MG IR Morphine Sulphate when I get up at 7:00am, then 8 hours later, I take just 1 30 MG ER. 8 hours later I take one 30 MG ER and one 15 MG IR. The times I take them are 7:00am, 3:00pm, and 11:00pm. This works great for me and I don't have any side effects. I was using Fentynal Duragesic 75mcg patches for 2 years until my insurance made me change over to the Morphine Sulphate because of costs. This was the best thing that could've happened to me. I am now mostly pain free and I don't have any bad side effects. No euphoria... | M | 61 | 6 months 30 MG ER 3X day | 2/19/2010 | 5 | Arthritic hip and back pain | Constipation, drowsiness | None of the other pain relievers (we've tried everything over the last six years) have worked so well for me as MS morphine does. Dr has been suggesting I try it for the last couple of years; my reluctance to do so seems silly now, except for the responses I get when folks hear that morphine's what's brought about such improvement in my quality of life. What's with the stigma around morphine, anyway? Weird, since it's practically 'herbal' and works so much better than the out and out synthetically fabricated pain relievers. In pain relief, lack of side effects, ease of administration (15 mg, 2x daily) and steadiness of delivery, nothing else has come close; anyway, from the first dose, for me it really IS a godsend! | F | 53 | 4 days | 2/7/2009 | 5 | constipation,dry mouth,very fatigued | Has effectively helped me be mobile from degenerative disc deseise for eight years, recently pain has increased | F | 53 | 8 years | 2/6/2009 | 5 | chronic back pain,cage and fusion | blurred vision, a little foggy,hard to focus | I feel it has helped me a great deal. I was on vicodin for 8 yrs and it was no longer working.This has been a blessing right now I dont know how long it will work as I am new to this medicine. | F | 45 | 3 days | 10/2/2008 | 5 | Fybro-knee/hip/back pain | Constipation for a while, but the body seemed to adjust and have no side effects at all. | I was home bound, always doped up until I agreed to try the morphine. For the first few days I was a bit doped, but after about a week this was not an issue at all. I take one 60mg tab every 6-8 hours and have no pain. I refused it for about three months before agreeing to try it....what a wasted three months! I'm completely mobile and have my life back in every way. If you're in a lot of pain and can ride out the first couple weeks, you might get your life back as well. At first, friends knew I was taking something, but now they think my pain has just gone away on its own. | M | 47 | 3 years | 1/24/2007 | 5 | chronic neck and back pain | blurred vision at times,nausea,headache after sleeping at nightor decreasing dosage | This drug change my life from being completely immobile to getting out and living with chronic pain. Complaints of nausea can be fixed with a snack and fluids. | M | 44 | 2 years | 12/20/2006 | 5 | chronic pain to chest wall | itching euphoria/occasionally/but in general it has been the difference betwen having a life or just staying in the house with pain.cant live without it. | used properly it can be life changing. | M | 47 | 2 years | 6/19/2006 | 5 | breakthrough pain/ Crohns Disease | Constipation -- welcomed as I have/had chronic diarreha. Pain treatment is great, works quickly if chewed up in the form of msir. MS Instant Release. Get relief from pain within 20-30 mins. Undesired -- Dependence, NOT ADDICTION. I have educated myself on these 2 terms. They are as different as night and day. Addiction arises whenever this med is use to Get high with, or the doctor scripting it does not understand dependence/addiction/withdrawls/tolerance well, and just Uses Addiction for them all. Or the doctor is not prescibing a well enough dose, or the patient is not doing his/her part, to manage/regulate the dose of this medication. in short, going 24 hours with none, using less with less pain. These both will allow this med to unbind from the opiate recepotrs in the Brain. Advice.... If you use this medication, google or search for opiate receptors. Understand as much as you can possibly take in about these amazing receptors in the brain. It all will help to take away any pre-conceived notions in which | M | 33 | 2 years | 7/6/2005 |
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)
