My question will these new meds help any thoughts?

I am comming off morphine sulfate - I still have 30 pills left - 20 of the 15mg IR and 10 of the 30mg ER - I just want to be off this drug and the withdrawals are more than I can stand. I have been taking them for almost 2 yrs now and want to stop. I am looking for any advice to help me with deal with withdrawals.

My wife, who takes morphine sulfate ER and oxycodone IR for chronic pain. She does a urine test every month. For the first time in several years, 10+, her results showed a positive result for codeine, 107 ng/mL. I found an article that said a small amount of codeine may show up in patients taking high doses of morphine due to possible impurities in manufacturing. Is this correct? Has anyone else run in to this??

I am currently prescribed morphine sulfate 30 mg and morphine 100 mg. I recently took a drug test where Oxymorephone showed up in my urine test. Does either of these pills contain the components of oxymorphone or opana? Any help will be appreciated!

I can't eat. I can't sleep. Every few seconds, my legs twitch and jerk. My body feels as if it has been invaded by an army of red ants. I know what is happening. I am going through withdrawal. Except I am not a drug addict. I am a 65-year old woman, wife and mother, who has been a chronic pain patient for more than 15 years. For most of that time, I have been very, very lucky.

I went to a knew Dr yesterday & he put me on Opana ER 10mg 2x a day & Morphine Sulfate IR 15mg 3x a day for break thru as needed. I've been on Roxicodone 30mg 6x a day & Norflex 100mg 2x a day prior to this appt yesterday. From what I've read on here the Opana ER is a good pain reliever after it gets into your system in approx 4-5 days so I'm hoping that is true bc so far I've not had any relief but I'm gonna give it a few more days.

I have been taking Morphine sulfate for several years. In the past year, I have had to increase my dosage and now take 30 mgs IR 4 times a day and 30 mgs CR at night. I know my body is "dependent" on this medication, but I am not an abuser. I always follow the prescription and most times take less than prescribed. 2 days ago, I started experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms. My doctor authorized me to take up to 6 IR a day if needed.

I would make sure that this last prescription wasn't accidentally filled with the instant release and not the ER version... And I think you blended two med names with Oxycontin MS...Oxycontin is a med all by itself..It is Oxycodone in Continuous formula...hence the "contin"....MS usually stands for Morphine Sulfate and comes in both IR (immediate release) or ER (extended release formulas)... If it is a 12 hour version...then usually most Drs. are ok with dosing it every 8 hours..

if a patient is presecribed 15 mg but is given 30 mg of morphine sulfate IR tablets, would this cause an earlier death in a liver cancer patient? My aunt was given 8 - 10 months and the pharmacy gave the wrong dosage, she died in 5 days. Should I question this?

i have been on morphine sulfate slow release 60mg 3times daily for 7 years. now i need surgery but cant get it until i can get off the morphine. i also take 15mg 6 times daily and cant get my doc to take me off. i need a safe wayto get off this terrible drug but he only says i need it and wont help me . does anyone know of a doc who can help me. i am desperate.

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.

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?

Have you ever tried Oxycodone HCL (immediate release) 15mg, or 30mg tablets for breakthrough pain? I am on Morphine Sulfate and use the Oxycodone for breakthrough and it works well... until your body adapts to the oxycodone and you require an increase in the dose... that's my only hurdle with it.... good luck....

I have never been on anything stronger then loritab.except for short stint on morphine sulfate..I would not take after a couple months because it made me feel weird.take the advice here to heart.U may not need that strong of a drug...It will just get u addicted to something else.as some said here u do have to taper off a that strong a dose..be careful and let us know.

Started me on 15 mg morphine sulfate ir 4 times a day. I have tapered down to 1/2 a tablet in the morning, for the past 3 days, if I just quit how long will the withdrawals be? I know that it has a very short half life and will be nothing like the methadone.

can you take percet with morphine sulfate er 30mg? in other words can you mix the two together?

Hi, I am new to this website but I recently went to my pain management doctor and my medication was changed from 7.5 percocets 4xday to 15mg of morphine sulfate er 3xday. However, I find the morphine is not as effective in helping me with my pain level and the side affects from the morphine are severe headache, stomache upset, tired then restless at times, eyesight affected, and just don't feel good or like me.

I requested Oxycontin because I know it works and th 15mg Morphine Sulfate did nothing. I told my PM doctor that I doubled and quadrupled my dose for the 15mg and still felt no relief. I almost feel like its a placebo that they are experimenting on me with. Has anyone had any relief from being on this type of Morphine?

My husband is addicted to Morphine he is taking Morphine Sulfate Extended Release 60 mg tablets. He was melting them down and injecting with a needle. He has been clean for 10 days. Any one know anything specific about this? What other drugs are similar to this? Anything you may know...

I have the multi level disc desease, both back and neck pain. I have been on several pain meds, shots, etc.. from the pain guys. I now take morphine sulfate 30mg time released 2 in 24hr period. I also have the percocets for break thru. I was up too 100mg morphine suf, like above. Over time I started getting dry mouth to the point of driving me mad. I been on meds for this for years, but the 100mg finally was working good for the pain.

I am in pain management and have been for years. I am on 400 mgs of morphine sulfate every 6 hrs and 15 mgs of Hydromirphone as needed for break through pain which is about 4 to 5 a day. My taper has been a fast one. I went from 400 mgs of MS a day to 200 for a week and now two days ago 60 mgs in the morning ONLY and taking the Hydromorphone every 4 hours. Is MS the same as the Hydromorphone? From what I read it is, one is long acting and the other is short.

Hi all, I have been taking morphine IR 30 mg 3 pills 3 times a day for about 5 years and extended relief morphine 100 mg. twice a day. My primary dr. Has been concerned about my stomach and liver. She's been wanting me to lower dose for a while. Was in hospital dec.3 for stomach issues and they gave me 2 30 mg. morphine twice a day and 2mg dilaudid twice a day. That seemed ok but was in hospital. Well when I went to see primary dr.

Are you experiencing any reaction or similar side effects with the long acting Morphine (Kadian)? As Dmoonchild said Kadian IS Morphine. There are several brand names for MS (Morphine Sulfate)..... but in the end they are all basically the same or similar chemical structure. Your previous reaction may have been related to other factors, such as the type of Morphine, any other medications you were being prescribed or simply your systems reaction at the specific time.

What is MS Contin and what is MS/IR. They are both morphine? Does the Contin mean extended release and the IR mean immediate release. The MS/IR also has the letters IMN REO. I'm trying to find out if the MS/IR can be cut in half for tapering. Thanks to all that reply.

HELP!!! I am coming down from a 520 mg /day morphine sulfate. Took my last dose last night. Have no refills. I am sick right now....feels like bad flu but worse. **** know what to do. My kids are with their dad. I am so scared. Need advise.

Or, get roxicodone which is fast acting (short lived), or MS IR (morphine sulfate Immediate release). This keeps you w/the same medication but gives you that extra boost for times in need. If you only take it for breakthrough pain and have exhausted other alternatives your tolerance will still build, but not as quickly as if you are taking it to get the high feeling.

my mother is very sick, ran out of her morphine sulfate early due to overtaking of her perscription and is now experiencing bad withdrawl symptoms?

I was on a 50 mg patch and they stated me on a 15 mg morphine sulfate instead, i ened up in the hopsital a week laer becasue the pain level was to much for me to take. they.
