Avatar m tn He now has a temporary ileostomy bag. He spent a total of 36 days in the hospital and was on morphine for almost 2 months. He has been off morphine for a couple of weeks and used Norco for the last 2 weeks and is not using any pain meds now. He has been very depressed since his operation, over 8 weeks ago. I felt I could understand the depression while in a hospital room for a month, but he has been home for over a month and his depression seems to be worse.
Avatar m tn using narcotics during detox is not a real good idea as it is not defined as a detox if u r taking them....it will prolong this even longer if u continue...what was ur original dose? and DOC?...u may have needed to taper down a bit if it was a high dose...if u detox and quit taking narcotics the amount u used daily and the DOC can help determine how long til u feel better plus age, nutrional status and other things....1 week for most...2 weeks for some til the physical symptoms are gone...

Avatar f tn It was the Morphine! Since I had taken short-acting Morphine before but never the extended release that had caused the whole mess, the consensus was that it was a reaction to the extending agent. I have to get more blood work done this week before I can start a different controlled release med but they put me on extra of my normal short acting med to get me through. Besides some headaches and general anxiety, I'm doing okay.
Avatar m tn I was wondering if Fentynal patches contain even the slightest amount of morphine in them. A friend of mine is dealing with a terminal illness along with terrible pain. They gave him Fentynal patches(heavey guns) and he claims that someone said that they contain just a small amout of Morphine. He has had some eally bad experiences with Morphine and he is scared to use the patch. I told him I would try to ask my new friends on MedHelp first. Does anyone out there have a clue if this is true?
Avatar m tn im not sure what mg but i expect him to start me on 15 of morphine. will the morphine help me? should i talk to him about another option such as percocet? im scared that the low beginning dosage will affect my quality and comfort even more.
Avatar n tn However, if he is not suicidal and has a prolonged history of morphine/opiate abuse, shows mild,if any, symptoms of intoxification and is otherwise "normal" then he should be fine. Whilst 300 mgs of morphine is considerable for someone who is opiate naive, it is relatively routine for the experienced addict. Anyways, like i said, based on the information you provided, i am left to fill the cavernous blanks with speculative assumptions and wild guesses.
Avatar m tn In the intra-thecal pain (into the spine) pumps the drug of choice is usually morphine. Other drugs which are used are usually hydromorphone, baclofen and alpha adrenergic agents. In your case, before opting for a pain pump, other drug and dosage combinations can be tried. You can also opt for pain patches. Also, drug therapies can be combined with yoga, hydrotherapy, physiotherapy etc for better pain control. Please discuss this with your doctor. Take care!
Avatar n tn I take them both daily , but together I guess it lowers the seizure threshold but probably won't be a problem if u don't have a history of seizures.
709686 tn?1277432159 While in ER they gave me several shots of Dilauded and Morphine and continued to receive the shots about every 6 hours for two days. My history is I do see a pain mgmt doctor and take approx. 30-40mgs of Lortab a day for the past 3 years. I discontinued the morphine shots on Thursday but they have been giving me 7.5mg Lortab when requested. I've only been taking 3-4 of those a day. On Friday I began to get the cold sweats and pounding heart beat and today they come and go.
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
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.
Avatar m tn Get a second and third opinion. I have DJD/DDD and have been to hundreds of doctors for treatment. I have had three surgeries but found my orthopedic surgeon to be my best friend for diagnosis. He helped diagnose some of my problems, did what he could and I trusted what he did. This after going to see hundreds of doctors who do not understand ddd/djd. Get a doctor who knows your disease and do some research on you own to understand what your disease is and how to treat it.
