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  chronic back pain dry mouth, itching, constipation. When taken consistently this medication gave me back my functionality. The pain is still there I know it I can feel it but I just do not care. The morphine never really removes the pain just allows me to negotiate around it. for me it works, better than any of the others. I have tried nearly all the meds available. the morphine has helped greatly. Increasing the dosage does little for MORE pain relief, 15mg / 4 hours works just fine at taking the edge off.

 4  2 lumbar spinal fusions-w/hardware Occasional constipation, but not bad. No other problems, whatsoever. I have tried every Rx available. I KNOW that EVERY Rx effects each person differently. Many of my friends swear by OXYCONTIN, but OXY was like taking a placebo for me. The only Rx that has EVER helped me ... is MS Contin! While it has NEVER stopped all the pain, it has made it possible to be mobile enough to even go to the grocery store occasionally! People in my shape learned years ago to "latch onto" the small victories. I have gotten worse lately (the last 6 months), and my Doctor does not want to go above the 60 mg (twice daily). We are currently bouncing ideas off of each other. He wants me to try fentanyl patches (but I told him my surgeon tried those 15 years ago with absolutely ZERO effect ... except for fairly major burn/rash from adhesive, LoL)! Then, he suggested "nerve blocks". and those have ALWAYS worried me (too many horror stories). So, we're working on it. He is a FINE doctor, and the only one that has stuck by me ... even when his partners told him to dump me! So, I'm sure we'll figure something out. M 50 12 years

 4  failed spine surgery It depends on how much you take. (see comments) I resisted going on morphine, but years of anti-inflammatory medication, Tylenol with codeine 3, and Vicodin for nerve pain caused severe acid reflux and a bleeding ulcer. The ulcer healed after a few months of medication, but I will have the reflux for life. I was put on morphine on the theory that I could take less of it to get the same effect. I have been on morphine for seven years. At first I took only 1/4 tablet a few times a week for flares; and it would put me OUT. My spine steadily worsened; I am now on a maintenance dose of 15 mg ER/2X day. I would have no life at all without morphine and a very limited life with it. I have had some extremely severe flares of pain from my spine and trigeminal nerve pain, during which I doubled the dose I was taking and still had severe pain. I went back down to my maintenance dose as soon as possible. At 15 mg/2X day, I have no significant side effects. I have some concentration problems at times, but I have that with severe pain as well. I drink lots of water and eat a high fiber diet; and that keeps things moving. At double this dose, I have dry mouth, constant thirst, loss of taste, loss of appetite, constipation, cognitive problems, and apathy. So my feeling about morphine is that it can be a good solution, depending on your situation and how much you take. I am definitely acclimated or addicted, whatever you want to call it. But once you have a certain level of pain, it's not as though there's a choice. F 67 7 years

 4  chronic neck and back pain At times I feel unable to focus. The best I can describe it is like trying to carry on a conversation while your kid repeatedly says "dad, dad, dad". However, in my case it is often hard to concentrate due to the pain, so I call it a wash. Constipation is a minor problem considering how much it helps. Also, when it is wearing off I tend to get irritable for about half an hour so I try to isolate myself when it is wearing off(for me about 8 hours). I find it helps with the pain but doesn't totally take it away. I actually like that because it helps keep me from over doing anything. I still do mind you, but at least I am aware of it. I still have my job and without morphine it would be impossible. I try to take it only when needed or when I am sure it is going to be a rough day. For example on weekends fishing with my sons or doing any long standing or physical work. M 39 4 years

 4  degenerative disc/ back & neck pain It works well as long as I take it as soon as I get up in the morning. 15mg twice a day. Constipation a plus because I have IBS and diarrhea. Disappears when on morphine. My doctor is reluctant to prescribe the proper amount and then leaves me with none. The pain returns with a vengence. I have taken ultram, tramadol, Vioxx, Celebrex, muscle relaxants and either they didn't work or I was Allergic! F 66 4 years
