Avatar n tn I dont know the exact dosage they give me post op as I have always had the black box and it gives it automatically and gets set up or down by post op nurse. I do know the dosage I have used at home iv as well as oral ir and I am to embarrased to say it. I cannot believe I am alive considering what you say is the normal dosage. It tells me I am very lucky.
Avatar n tn too much morphine can result in death. I would advise you to call your pharmacist for information - they would be able to give you pharmaceutical information that would clarify this situation. I am sorry for you loss and the experience around it.
Avatar f tn •Respiratory depression can occur during the period where the existing oral opioids are being withdrawn and the IT morphine is being titrated upwards. •Morphine withdrawal reactions can occur during the period where the existing oral opioids are being withdrawn and the IT morphine is being titrated upwards. •Urinary retention and hesitancy can occur due to IT morphine interfering with the relaxation process in the bladder neck.

Avatar f tn oral capsule, oral capsule extended release, oral concentrate, oral solution, oral tablet, oral tablet extended release Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction while taking morphine (the active ingredient contained in MS Contin) hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
1686743 tn?1306005451 For the last year I have been taking15 mg Morphine2 times a day, and 5mg Oxycodone HCI For pain in back and hips, and knee. At this dosage I have been getting some relief.Could one say that I'm chemically dependent. I'm 6 ft tall and 172 lbs. What is the suggested dosage for 61 yr old? I just had surgery in my chest and the pain level is 10 by times 10. they increased the oxy to 10 mg every 4 hrs and the Morphine 3 times a day 30 mg a day. with little effect.
210982 tn?1280983895 Yes although dosage and frequency of usage does matter. In my experience morphine, high dosage oxycontin and methadone are the most effective (and the most addicting) pain killers.
Avatar m tn Assuming that you were taking the max of 400 mg per dose, that is about the same as taking 50ish+ mg of oral morphine (note oral here because the liver's first pass effect on morphine comes into play, so in essence it equals about 8mg of morphine IV - a really small dose). So, wd should not be terribly hard, certainly nothing close to oxycodone, morphine or heroin. Then again, this is something that varies from person to person.
Avatar m tn About 1 month ago my pain management doctor increased my dosage of morphine sulfate from 10 gm to 30 mg (1 every 12 hours). Shortly after I began taking the 30mg morphine sulfate, I started to develop a slight rash. Over the last week, the rash has become much worse and a real problem. I've been taking over the counter benadryl tabs to get some relief from the rash which is helping a little to relief the itching and rash.
Avatar m tn The 50 patch is more in line with your previous 60 morphine sulfate, plus some break through meds, dosage. The problem most have with the patches is that they do not last three days, only two for most people. See if your insurance company and doctor will allow you to do a 2 day dosage, vs the std 3 day.
Avatar n tn The morphine is actually much less problematic than the oxycodone. You should be comfortable taking the morphine and not the oxy.................
Avatar f tn I went to the drs today and explained that the oxy 15s I was prescribed were not working as well as the 10/325s I was on so my dr. gives me morphine 30 mgs I have taken a few they dont seem very strong either. I was told I was not allowed to switch for a while. I will have to just make them work. will they start working better in a while or am I just stuck on then?
Avatar f tn She was put under to have her jaw wired and was given a slow release morphine shot as well. Is this just her coming off the medications or should I be concerned?
Avatar n tn i have been on oxycontin 40mg for six monthes it wasnt releaving any pain so my doc put me on oral morphine and fentanyl patches and the transition was horrible so i know what your goin through please hang in there it will get better.
1695881 tn?1306506766 the baby is going to be gettin morphine. i wonder if i could be hospitalied and do the same treatment?
Avatar m tn I have not had any experience personally with the pump but my uncle was just telling me his did not work properly and he had to take oral medications too. The doctors increased his dosage several times with no relief so they went with adding oral meds. Do not be afraid to bring this up to your doctor. You hire the doctor to manage your pain and so don't ever feel like your out of line by asking him/her to do their job as they are hired to do.
19579204 tn?1480364655 Meanwhile I suffer bad back pain, it is relentless and effects my whole life, after 10 years of Intrathecal morphine no oral or inject-able opiate drug has any effect and more then one Doctor has suggested that the morphine is causing me more pain then its relieving. So I have a level 6 pain and a feeling that I will never get relief. I have have nerve blocks, epidurals and other treatments that offered relief for a period of time.
Avatar f tn My mother who has cronic back and shoulder pain is being taken off of fentanyl 100mcg patch and 7.5/500mg and being put on morphine 60mg 2x daily and then morphine sulfate 15mg every 4 hours for breakthough pain. What I'm wondering is there going to be withdrawl or is the morphine going to have enough of the same stuff in it. If not what kind of withdrawl systems will there be to watch for.
Avatar f tn I would really like to know if anyone has taken morphine in pregnancy and upon giving birth if their baby had with drawls or not AND what dosage PLEASE! I have heard a few moms say they were taking Oxycontin 40mg three times a day with no baby withdrawals, but did not know if morphine was the same. I do go to a pain management place, I am in severe pain, I do not need lecturing, there are times I think about just ending it all just to stop the pain.
525438 tn?1212427822 Reading your post, it seems you are on alot of medication. Beacuse you have a tolerance the medication amounts will be different and you'll want to make sure you are very clear with the anestesiologist as to how much of what and how often you take something.
Avatar n tn Although 12 hrs have passed,but still clinical examination from a doctor is mandatory to rule out any morphine overdose. Morphine overdose occurs when a person intentionally or accidentally takes too much of the medicine. I hope that helps. Please do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries. Kind regards.
Avatar f tn You use it to convert your fentanyl dosage to an equivalent morphine dose, and then find the equivalent morphine dose to oxymorphone, Generally when converting between opiates, doctors will reduce the new medication strength by a certain percentage to account for incomplete cross tolerance, which is a boost in analgesia you get from rotating from one kind of opiate to another. You can find equal analgesic tables, and apps for calculating equivalent dosing online.
Avatar n tn Hi yes it is normal behavior for Morphine, when you first start it your on top of the world then comes irritation and depression and even nightmares for some. How much is he on? How long? and dose he want to quit?
Avatar n tn can Norco 1000 show up as morphine in a urinalysis drug test performed 2 weeks from injury on job?
Avatar n tn Recently, I went off the reservation, so to speak, for a little too long with morphine. I originally switched from Methadone to bupe, and I was sick for three days making the transition. My question is: How much time will I need to transition back from morphine to buprenorphine? I imagine it won't be as long as from Methadone. Can I do it with Suboxone, or will I need Subutex?
