Common Questions and Answers about Morphine allergy symptoms

These are two different types of pain relievers. It is unusual to be allergic to all of them. Itchy eyes are not a common symptom of an ingested drug, rather a symptom of a contact allergen, such as pollen. I encourage you to see an allergist. I too have multiple allergies to medications. An allergist can help you sort out what you are reacting to and what you should avoid. If is difficult to suggest a pain reliever, especially based on your recent reactions.

what would happen if someone took (about) 20 ml of morphine sulfate(concentrated), which is 20 mg per ml? I got some m.s. from someone, and never asked how much was "safe", though, i do realize taking it at all is unsafe unless directed by a doctor. i took this amount yesterday, within a 2 hr period. lastnight i vomitted a lot, was too scared to go to the hospital (another stupid move i know) if i feel good, should i still go to the hospital?

I have been taking 60-100mgs of morphine daily for years. I have not had any for almost 48 hours. I am not well. I do have access to Vicodin. Will the Vicodin just prolong the withdrawals? Please help!

I seem to tolerate IV Dilaudid quite well, as opposed to Morphine, so if you truly do have an allergy to Morphine, it's an alternative. I will say, however, that you think hard before asking for Dilaudid over Morphine, especially if you're in recovery. Unless you truly need super strong narcotic pain-killers for legitimate pain, I'd steer clear of both of them as they are HIGHLY addictive.

Hi, I've not got a diagnosis for my pain, however it is concurrent with symptoms for osteoarthritis. As I've been suffering with pain in my knees, hips, lower back and knuckles for 12 years now I'm not holding out on a diagnosis anytime soon, more so because I know how much the medical comminity seem to despise diagnosing osteoarthritis in anyone below 50, I'm 30 so another 20 years to go before acknowledgement of OA will be given!

Morphine, personally, makes my migraine pain worse because it aggravates all of the nausea symptoms. Morphine tends to have a very high side-effect profile in terms of stomach upset and nausea... and, when it comes to migraines... well, you know how it is. But, for some people, this is not a problem and they do not react this way to morphine at all and can take morphine without feel nausea what so ever. Our chemical make ups are all different and we all have different reactions to medications..

Sorry Addi but no .. I do take Baclofen tho' but try not to do the morphine . I am glad you are back i missed you.

1. An adverse effect/Allergy to the morphine or 2. The morphine should have NOT been used for the particular pain you were having when you presented to the ER. Morphine is NOT the best choice for all pain. Oh yes, the CT contrast, yuk!! Yes, had to drink this myself and have given it to numerous patients; it is awful. Unfortunately, it is needed for better views of the abdomen. How are you feeling now?

Is it possible to be allergic to oxycodone (percocet) If I am not allergic to Morphine or Vicoden?

I had never ever before have any allergies I was always healthy, and clear minded, went to see a doc , he advised me to try to lose some weight as I was about 30 pounds overweighted, he suggested to quit drinking pop and coffee, well I did so and slowely started feeling better, I lost about 40 pounds as I went on a diet, well after 3 years my weight is back up but I am feeling very good, I thought that losing weight had nothing to do with the way I felt, so the other day for the first time I ha

I saw my ortho surgeon today and she said I basically developed an allergy to hydrocodone - she said it can happen to anyone with anything at anytime even if you have been exposed to that "thing/substance/whatever" for years and years. So, she switched me to oxycodone, or percoset.

I have been taking long acting morphine for about 4 years now, was taking 9 -15 mg tabs each day and successfully reduced by myself to 3 each day. For the past 3 days I cut them out completely and I was wondering how long I can expect to feel this lousy.. I've gone through the stomach issues and still serious body aches. Any Idea how long this should take before I feel normal again?

Hi Everyone It has been a long time since i posted here, as i was told i didnt have ms i thought i would be wasting your time but i still have all my symptoms and i am no nearer an answer.

I'm not sure if I have any allergy to metals.The fatigue is horrible and the pain is pretty bad also. I find it the pain hits my weak spots for example I was a lettercarrier for 30 yrs and the pain in my back & spine is real bad[I take Morphine]. Did you know that one of the interferons was taken off the market because of the bad sides.Intron A I think and I am sure thats the one I took. Do you know which one you took? Just thinkin' maybe that might be a factor or the reason.

Hi all, I don't know why, but everytime I get a new strange symptom I feel the urge to share it with everyone on the forum. I guess I have gotten used to leaning on you guys, and it makes me feel better. As you all know, I have been having sensitivities to temperature change for some time now, but this symptom is new.

Three years ago I was remodeling a house(tearing down walls, mouse droppings, mold, etc) and got an infection that didn't go away. The first symptoms were general flu like with an erratic pulse that would wake me at night and continued throughout the day. Since then I've not been able to breathe the same but recently it's become much worse.

you are lucky you didn't have convulsions, or other withdrawal symptoms. You, like so many others, have learned to rely on pills to regulate your moods...why don't you try talk therapy...it works, and often it works better and lasts longer.

I have allergies to codiene, codone and morphine. Is there any pain medication available that I could take. My symptoms are rash, hyperactivity and I feel like my skin is crawling.

Because the swollen throat was not notable they diagnosed me with a micro stroke, MRI was completely clear. Symptoms cleared within 24 hrs with the exception of the facial numbness which remained and at times would get worse and more wide spread across my head and face. I was again admitted to the hospital for similar symptoms in Sept, this time the first diagnosis of stroke was recinded and replaced with "migraine/facial seizure aura".

Tapering as slowly as possible will almost eliminate withdrawal symptoms. Once you stop taking them you will probably feel some withdrawal symptoms so always taper as slowly as possible toward the end. xoxo- D.

to keep my eyes closed the sides effects said all of this and more yet the ER dr did not beleive my symptoms were related to this treatment since i am allergic to LOTS of stuff no morphine no codeine no loritab and now no Iontophoresis Dexamethasone would love to know what you think my arm felt great for 4 days but i dont dare do this again..

Definition: Crepitus is a symptom characterized by a crackling or grating feeling or sound under the skin, around the lungs or in the joints. In soft tissues, crepitus is often due to gas, most often air, that has abnormally penetrated and infiltrated an area (for example, in the soft tissues beneath the skin). In a joint, crepitus can indicate cartilage wear in the joint space. The term "crepitus" is derived from the Latin, meaning "a crackling sound or rattle.

I am 15 years old and i have an addiction to pain killers (morphine) and allergy meds. And it has been this way for a year and a half. But 3 days ago i stopped. Cold turkey. My life has been a living hell but I'm fighting it. I'm not going to ruin my life at so young. I'm taking my life back. :) The headache and nausea is killing me but I can make it through it. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Another precipitating factor is morphine is known to release histamine which can further precipitate the allergy. Subsequent exposure can be life threatening. Hence, if drug allergy is suspected, future exposure to such drugs should be avoided. Get evaluated for other mentioned causes. Take care and regards.

We can develop allergies to different things throughout our lifetimes as the allergy develops in response to a repeated stimulus. If you haven't undergone formal allergy testing, that might be beneficial. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

He is trying to ease my mind by taking a blood test every three months to check for allergies. For what I do not know. Can you offer any advice on what my next step or questions should be? I have two small children, a full time job and I am finding it very difficult to cope and get through each day in pain. Thank you for any help you may give.

Morphine is sometimes taken for migraine headaches and swelling of the face is a common symptom of a morphine allergy. Your face could swell as a reaction to a number of other medications if you were allergic to them as well. If you have taken any medication recently I would strongly suggest you go to the emergency department as you may be having an allergic reaction to a medication. In addition, you have posted a number of other symptoms in 2 other recent posts...

Many people will use the term 'allergies' for what are actually symptoms from intolerance, not allergy. The first issue is whether you are intolerant-- such as having nausea, headaches, or feeling other strange symptoms... or allergic, such as getting a rash after a day or two? (some medications like morphine will cause nonspecific histamine release and cause a sudden 'blotchy' rash that might itch-- this is not a true allergy either).

If it was spoiled fish (not stored properly before cooking), histamine could built within it and caused exact the same symptoms as in allergy, but this is not allergy and in this case allergy test would be negative. It's called "scombroid poisoning". Leukocytes are also rised in the allergy. Abdominal pain is not characteristic for food allergy, but this pain was maybe triggered the same way as the heart pain - from reduced blood delivery into intestine after the blood pressure drop.
