After years of back pain and no relief from PT programs and a lot of other meds, I found a great pain doctor who got me relatively out of pain. I can now work and function most of the time pain free. Now the medical community is becoming fearful of DEA and other authorities who are interfering because of abusers. If these people are successful in removing these types of drugs I will be on disab...
My Dr switched me from Methadone to Morphine and it is not as effective nor as long lasting as the Methadone was. The half life or Morphine is 4 hours and after 8 I start feeling withdrawal symptoms. I am taking extended release tablets. If not for the Oxycodone for breakthrough pain I wouldnt be able to handle just the Morphine. Of course I am taking it for pain but now I feel like pain is se...

I have been prescribed MSIR 15mg 1-2 tabs q4-6h for breakthrough pain. I use the fentanyl 75mcg/hr patch for continuous pain control. Morphine has proved to be a very safe and effective adjunct to the patch, and I've not had an adverse reaction at any time. I get relief from BT pain in about 5 minutes after taking 15mg. I tried extended-release morphine as a way to get off the patch, but it didn't work, so I went back on the patch with MSIR as a backup.

My x husband takes this but he has become a very different person and after 20 years I asked him to move out. Could not tolerate it anymore. He refuses to admit he changed.

It helps alot. Narcotics actually take the pain away for the moment. These do not have the potency to do that, but they definitively help!

I have only been on 30 Mgs for 1 week now. And it has helped me so much. I have bad scoliosis my spine is where my left hip is on my last MRI. I was on Norco 10/325 for break thru pain & Oxycontin 20 mgs Twice a day. And The surgeon said I was not a canadate for surgery, so new MRI did show that I really was in a lot more pain Thank God. Today I got down on the floor & played with my Grand kids. It was a wonderful day.

This medicine is in NO way as effective as Avinza. I just wish the pharmacies here would keep the Avinza in stock.

The down fall is the syringe given to measure the amount as prescribed, as it can be fiddly. You must administer the exact dosage as can be dangerous if taken more than stated.I only took the 2.5 amount when pain was at its worse. It can be addictive if taken regular but some people need it every four hours? Side effects were irritability and edginess but this outweighed the pain it took away.
