| 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 | 4 | back 2 spinal fusions, legs, ankle | dry mouth, constipation, no desire, | only thing out of everything that works for my pain have been through 10 year ordeal where i tried accupunture, and just about every drug available. 30mg, 6 pills, 3 times a day. Also 600mg nuerontin 3x daily. | M | 42 | 5 years | 2/17/2009 | 3 | Back pain | Dizziness, insomnia, inability to pee, | M | 42 | 1 days 100 mg | 2/8/2013 | 4 | chronic low back pain | Constipation.was the worst side effect but can be remedied with softeners. | I've been on narcotics for 21yrs due to an on the job injury. 2 herniated disc 1 cracked vertebra and tore stomach wall off pelvic. 12 major surgeries.narcotics had stopped working except for high doses. Percocet oxytocin and the doses just kept getting bigger. I started taking morphine sulfate er 15mg every 12hrs 4 days ago. Doc told me we would have to adjust but we'll start low. What I've found is it does work but my breakthrough pain starts abt 6hrs. So when I go back in 3 days we'll move it up and go to a breakthrough med every 6hrs and I think I'll be able to function as normal as possible under the circumstances. That will take me from 360 pills to 180! I wish it were none but I'll take it. | M | 43 | 4 days 15mg | 3/26/2015 | 3 | lower back pain, chronic pain syndr | very foggy at times, bad nightmares, could not sleep alot of the time. What a nightmare!! I only have had 5-6 good days in the whole 2 months of taking it.. | I started out on 60 mg. daily. I think that was too high,so went to 30 mg daily- 15/twice daily. the lower dose did not help with the pain all day. using percocet for breakthrough. I do not understand why it did not work, I have used opiods for 10 years now for pain!! Good luck for those of you that is helped. | F | 43 | 60 days | 6/27/2008 | 1 | back injury | Major constipation ,unless u eat a sh*tload of fruit daily | It's garbage ,don't waste your time , just smoke weed , it's natural & good for u | M | 43 | 10 years 60 mg | 2/8/2017 | 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 | 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. | M | 44 | 12 years | 8/5/2008 | 2 | I was Run over by a Dump Truck | M | 44 | 3.5 days 60 2X day | 8/21/2013 | 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 | 4 | chronic post-surgery abdominal pain | restlessness, itching (esp. on face), muscle/body aches, unable to sleep, confusion and depression | Morphine is much better than Fentanyl patches (even 12.5 too strong) as maintenance drug for my pain. I have found that using it PRN helps me function better overall and lessens side effects also. After years of pain a "10" has now become an "8" so I try to use MS only when my pain is a 9 or a 10 and am willing to deal with the side effects. | M | 45 | 8 months | 11/10/2008 | 4 | Duragesic | I found the same effects after taking them for a long time the side eefects wore off but during the 3days towards the 3rd day i was withdrawin i now have it undle control but still get bad days n sleep for the day cus body cant handle pain | M | 45 | 1 days 37mg | 6/5/2014 | 4 | Severe Constipation..Must take Phillips Colon Health every day then you'll be OK...Dry Mouth..Sex Drive disaappears.Itching | Have severe pain from failed lumbar and cervical fusions, and broken hip...Found out had osteoporosis...Tried every other pain med including methadone, dilaudid, Hydrocodone, etc but The Morphine Sulfate works the best, at lease it allows you to function somewhat..still a lot of breakthrough pain ..I take 3/30mgs pills a day...still need something extra to stop breakthrough pain...any suggestions would be appreciated..I don't really want to take this forever but I have no other options...What's left..morphine pump?..Going to try a chiropractor this month and maybe accupuncture....at the end of the rope... also on antidepressants but they don't help much...make me totally useless... | M | 46 | 5 years | 1/2/2010 | 4 | deterarating disk and torn siotic n | If don't have it I sweat can't sleep can't eat upset stomach dizzy bad head aches | It helps alot | M | 46 | 2 years 15mg | 5/11/2016 | 2 | Chronic back/leg pain | Constipation, tremors and trouble focusing my vision at close range. Not much pain relief. | I'm not entirely certain that the morphine is causing my tremors because I take so many other drugs every day. I suspect a combination of all my meds are to blame. I can say for sure that I am still in pain 24 hours a day. I am currently taking 90mg a day and there is ALWAYS some level of pain. Sometimes more or less, but never entirely gone. I was recently hospitalized for colilitus, where I recieved dilaudid for pain. That worked very well, but I don't know if taking dilaudid every day for chronic pain would turn my brian into mush or not. | M | 46 | 2 years | 11/5/2007 | 1 | Had no effect on my pain | No side effects, no relief it was like taking a tic tac. | Dr. swears it is 2x stronger than Percocet, I am out of Percocet Morphine Sulfate is useless. Can't see Dr. until 5/16/2016 and the only thing he says is "Make it work" Does Tim Gunn have that copyrighted? | F | 46 | 3 weeks | 5/9/2016 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 4 | Spondylolisthesis, ddd neck&midback | Gas, slight headache, occasional constipation. Itching & rash under collarbones(scratching), slight sleep problems. BUT I WAS on 5-30 mg ocycodone & ms contin got rid of that horrible oxy pull on body & mind on when is next dose. I've had 1dose increase from 15 mg-30 2-day,& each time it feels like I won't ever need the oxy for BT, but within a week it starts up. If I increase again , gonna ask doc to write norco or sonething less addictive than what oxy puts you through. Doc is new after clinic shut down & wants me off both, & a transfer to methadone, which I just cannot rationalize. Current Combo is working good but not perfect! I've noticed after 4-5days of taking all meds, body wants a break & I can almost make it through day without realizing I've had no ms contin or oxy, until complete spine pounds thru my ears ! Can any1honestly admit methadone has been a good long term choice for them? I have to keep up "appearances"@ job,& I gave read too much about methadone profuse swearing. I gas it when I was only on oxy 30's.but since MScontin,sweats are rare. Also has destroyed thoughts of sex! | M | 48 | 10 months 30mg 2-day | 11/23/2011 |
