Avatar m tn It appears that I should ask my doctor to take me back down to the 10 mg at which point I was not having a rash. However, the reason for increasing the morphine to 30 mg was to get more relief from my chronic pain. The increased dosage did relieve the pain but the rash and itching is worse than the pain. Perhaps I have answered my own question but would one half of a 30mg pill be the equivalent of a 15 mg pill?
Avatar f tn About 4 months ago i was given morphine before they put my shoulder back in and i developed a raised itchy rash where they had injected it on my arm. The next time i had morphine was about a month later (shoulder again) and i got a rash all over my body so they gave me an shot of antihistamine (poor spelling) and the rash went down.
Avatar f tn 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?
3112530 tn?1434032033 I have got to understand why after about 8 hours, the 'itches' kick in. It is extremely annoying. I take Benedil for the 'itches' and it seems to stop them sometimes. Can anyone tell me what causes the 'itches' and what is the best effect to counteract this? My morphine is only 15mg and I try t take it every 12 hours but when the "itches" kick in, (usually about 8 hours later), I take another and it seems to stop.
Avatar f tn Second - is this a short acting (SA) or is it a long acting (LA) Morphine? 60mgs of Morphine is one heck of a one time dose. I would not take it. There could be serious complications, especially if you your system is opiate naive. Don't take it.
4693494 tn?1358053070 was ok with you alternating the Morphine and the Butrans patch? It seems like if you had a rash and tried it a few times and specifically asked to be put on something else (the Morphine) then they expect you to not use the Butrans patch again...So walking in with it on or you being tested negative for it those other times...I could see why they are upset... I'm not sure why you titled this the way you did asking if you are an addict?
Avatar f tn With my 1st born I got an epidural and I was looking into different pain relief options for this pregnancy. Any of you got morphine instead of an epidural and how was your experience?
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?
525732 tn?1213046071 Well, first of all i know what i would tell your husband. Who cares what he wants or doesn't like. Look at the mess you are in. Sounds like you need to go and speak with a doctor and explain that you want to get off the morphine. Don't forget to tell him about this husband also who is obviously causing you alot of anxiety.
Avatar m tn I pretty much thought it had something to do with the morphine. Any advice? He needs it for his back. My view is morphine is probably better than any other of the narcotic analgesics because it is the most natural and has been around for centuries. I certainly would not want him on oxycontin or fentanyl. Is Opana ER any better? Need advice from doctor preferably or someone who has an idea what they are talking about regarding this matter.
654183 tn?1225309036 My husband is addicted to Morphine. I have never done any type of drug and I really don't know what to do to help. Every time I think I know what is going on I find out something else he has lied about. At first it was just taking the pills, then it was crushing the pills. Now I'm finding needles and spoons everywhere. He claims that he gets the pills down to liquid form and puts them in the needle and squirts it in his mouth. I just don't believe him anymore.
Avatar m tn I am going to go cold turkey on tuesday from 100mg morphine, been on them about 6 to 8 weeks. feeling sick when I dont take them and not able to take off time for detox and types for detox?
784419 tn?1236261756 After running the gamut of pain medications in an effort to find some relief from the constant, chronic pain I endure from spondylolisthesis, I've been prescribed morphine tablets at 10 mgs per tab. I'm still getting no relief from the pain. Should I ask my GP for a higher dosage?
Avatar f tn Morphine must be okay for the liver because that's what they used when I was in the ICU following my liver transplant. Be VERY careful with morphine. I was on it for 7 days and went wacky with hallucinations of all kinds.
Avatar f tn my friend dissolved morphine tablets in hot water then injected it into her vein is this going to hurt her?
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 n tn iam on anti depressents floxetine & amytriptlijne then tramadol & 80 mg of morphine a day do you think i would be ok to get a job
3234592 tn?1349819177 I am a woman in my early 20s, and I have recently found red itchy bumps on the back of my arms. It started in a cluster right under my right shoulder, now it is spreading down both my arm and my back. I don't have and food allergies, nor am I allergic to any insect or plants. The only things I'm allergic to are cat dander, dust, and morphine, there are no cat's at my house, there's dust but I don't think that can do this to my arm, and I haven't taken any morphine.
1645944 tn?1305243337 In the past few years, I have begun having a histamine reaction to Morphine and Dilaudid, which knocks out Demerol by association. When I received it by IV in the hospital, I broke out in a rash on my chest, felt like I couldn't breathe - like a weight was on my chest (even though my pulse ox was 100%), couldn't entirely move my arms and legs, and couldn't talk. So, there go the narcotics. Ummm, in two days they are gonna cut my head open, HELP?!
384896 tn?1335294331 CONGRATS!!! Glad to hear it went good this time. I can't wait to see pics! How did you find out you were allergic to morphine? I had morphine and demerol during my c-section and was itchy for the next 24+ hours.
Avatar f tn I recently have had a stent put into my right coronary artery because if a 99% blockage,since then I have had nothing but trouble,I've had arthralgia ,oseaophigitis,rashes and chest pain .
Avatar m tn So to make a long story short I am itching like a mother and havent taken one today and I am not planning on taking them anymore I want to throw them away. Do you think the itching is from the done/roxi combo? I have no rash so I am stumped.
Avatar m tn How long can I take it without having the withdrawal symptons? ALso has anyone experienced any kind of rash while taking it? I dont know if this is coincidental or not but after 4 days of taking it I got a red rash like that is red and then scabs over when I scratch it. Looks like flea bits and I do have an inside dog, but not sure if that is a rash from the Tramadol.
Avatar f tn Roxy: Risperol is a psychotropic med (antipsychotic medication). Your doc is starting you out low dose at 1/2 mg. When reinitiating a medication, they do this (it is called titration) to see how well you are tolerating it. If you are not tolerating it, you should call your doc. From your other post I understand you are tapering off an antianxiety med at this time, too? Any other meds you taking? You said "itchy eyes and itchy throat". Classic allergy symptom.
Avatar n tn Some opiates cause histamine release-- particularly morphine-- that can cause itching and a rash. Some high-potency synthetic opiates--namely fentanyl and sufentanil-- cause facial itching, particularly around and inside the nose. Some medications can cause a feeling of extreme restless called 'akathesia' that sometimes presents as intense itchiness over the body, especially the legs.
Avatar n tn He puts hydrocortisone on his skin, but i am thinking tht possibly there is another type of cream to use on the rash. Anyone hve any ideas?
