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)

 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

 5   I feel that by other pain meds I have been prescribed hydro codone and lortab used to work, but the fda did something tomake the hydro codone I have been prescribed many years ago used to work within 15 to 20 minutes taking the pain away from my foot which I severely broke and didn't get the proper help making it heal wrong.i have been in chronic severe pain the very first day I injured it which has grown worse as time passes.so I feel that by taking morphine sulfate will work, unless they have changed it to be unaffected Please email me back and if you have a true knowing that morphine sulfate will work well for me.

 1  Pain reliever after surgery I was given this after kidney stone surgery. I had an allergic reaction at the injection site. (I was given it intravenously). Rash and swelling at injection site, ears ringing, tightness in back of neck. The nurse immediately noticed the reaction and then gave me Benadryl (intravenously). The rash disappeared after a short while. The swelling, however, took a few hours to disappear. Fentanyl, by the way, has caused no problems in me. M 50 1 days
Unsure 1X day

 1  I had a relatively minor surgery At first nausea, then sweating, itching, my chest seized up - my heart started loudly in my ears. My eyes got all swollen and started watering, my whole body came out in a red bumpy rash. My throat started burning and breathing became almost impossible. The nurses attending to me said that i also changed colour to a light shade of blue... It did not help with the pain at all. No relief what so ever. F 35 1 days

 1  Total knee replacement Many terrible halluciations, in color, and frequent. I had a difficult time getting the nursing staff to listen to me. Also, the pain relief was miminal. Then came the itching. Like I was on fire. Finally I was changed to another medication. The halluciations lasted 3 -4 days after the medicine was discontinued. I know this drug is very helpful for many patients, but I feel that when a patient is having halluciations, they should be taken off the drug as soon as possible. I think that this is probably a sign that the pain relief function will not work. I also believe that patients should be consulted as to how difficult this is for them and that they are NOT crazy and it is Not permanent. F 63 1.5 days

 4  Spine fractures, osteoarthritis Dry mouth, difficulty swallowing, gerd, constipation, out of breath when walking, up and down all night It is the best pain reliever. 30 mg ER every 12 hours, Loratabs 10 mg as needed. I could not have lived without them. I could not stand or walk without holding on to something until after I took it and it made me stronger. Problem--body started trying to overcome it and IBS began returning and abdominally miserable, felt like insides pushing out. Stopped taking it last week and thought no problem. Yesterday felt like I could not breathe and went to ER, all blood tests, heart and x-rays normal (they said beautiful, perfect). Suggested body reacting to stopping MS and have allergies. Weak depressed, anxious,IBS returned, back pain subsided. Trying to get by on ibuprofen. Maybe try rheumatologist. M 59 2 days
