Avatar n tn I'm 14 weeks pregnant. Second baby. Iv had alot of gallbladder attacks at least 3 a week. They can't take it out apparently so I'm stuck suffering until I have the baby. The doctors give me morphine and gravol. Has any other moms gone thru this and is everything okay with the baby?
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 Also what pain medication should we give her now that morphine is not an option. Please help.
Avatar n tn I know pain mgt docs often perscribe methadone and oxy together I believe to help offset the addiction-methadone is essentially a medication used to help stop withdrawls from heroin but has pain-relieving proerties to it.Supposedly without the "high" (although there are plenty here that will attest otherwise).Not sure if this answered your question?Do a little research on the health pages as well as read some of the other posts...there is much to be learned hre so stay with us!
Avatar f tn Hi, does anyone know if I can take Co-codamol whilst taking slow release Morphine?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn I am on very strong pain meds for my lupus & fibro (morphine & demerol) which I take daily regardless if I'm in that level of pain or not..the morphine that is, the demerol is for break thru pain only (this was directed by both my family doctor as well as my rheumatologist). I suspect maybe this regimen is causing other serious health issues. The past 3 days I have had lupus flare type symptoms....
Avatar m tn t move for 2 days, I had a pain pump for 2 and 1/2 days, they said it was stronger than morphine, and I had a morphine pump with a hysterectomy in 2006, this was a lot better, could hit the pump every 3 mins. Then they took me off the pump, and started with hydros, but didn't work that well so they tried percocets 10s, and that worked well combined with flexerals ( muscle relaxers) that's what I took home. Wearing a brace for 3 months also.

Avatar f tn t take morphine or dilaudid. As i have to be careful with new pain medicine and because of my allergies to the current pain meds (hydrocodone, morphine, dilaudid) do you have any other suggestion that I could suggest? I know I can take Demerol pills because I had to take them 2 years ago for surgery. Would that be a good medicine to discuss with my doctor or is the Demerol a little too strong for a knew surgery? Thank you in advance for your help. Hope everyone has a blessed Sunday!
525732 tn?1213046071 What can I do to change medication to please my husband. HE HATES my insomnia and rapid weight loss along with my changing habits. I have extreme mood swings and can't do the things I use to do. He doesn't understand what pain I am going through and can't quite accept things. I am waiting on surgery because my insurance and my surguon cancelled my surgery 12 hours before I went to the hospital.
Avatar n tn When I was in the hospital the only pain medication that worked for me was morphine and it was through an IV. In fact, it worked so well I was asleep most of my stay, which I really could not stand. I am just really confused, since I have never taken any drugs or street drugs for that matter, so am confused as to why they don't work for me?
454606 tn?1361925680 Every time I go to the ER or Urgent care they say my problem is the meds I take, zeroing in on the Morphine. If I had a Morphine pump would it still effect my body this way? I really need my pain addressed. I can take Percoset. Other than that, other substitutes I've tried didn't work or I had life threatening reactions.
Avatar n tn PLZ; I AM CURRENTLY TAKING 3- 100 MG MS CONTIN {MORPHINE SULPHATE EXTENDED RELEASE}. I HAVE BEEN ON THIS DOSAGE FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS. AS OF LATE, I AM NOT GETTING THE RELEIF I ONCE DID. CAN ANYONE SUGGEST AN ALTERNATE MEDICATION THAT IS GENERIC TO SWITCH TO. I HAVE SEVERAL ORTHOPEDIC PROBLEMS...THANK YOU !
699217 tn?1323438700 I'll do my best..... Here is the easiest way to look at it, (i think?) ... Percocet has tylenol in it, however, oxycodone and oxycontin are just straight percocet, no tylenol. I believe that oxycodone is the generic name for Roxicodone, which is also obviously percocet without the tylenol. Oxycontin and oxycodone are the same thing, EXCEPT oxycodone is a quick release tablet, and oxycontin is a slow release of the same med. Hydrocodone is the ingredient in Vicodin and Lortab.
648944 tn?1241469694 The effectiveness or non-effectiveness for you (or anyone) is simply your systems response to the drug. So the new medication just is not staying in your system as long as the morphine stayed. You may want to give it some time but its effectiveness may not change. I hope this has been helpful. Please feel free to share with us how you are doing. I will look forward to your input.
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 In terms of rescue, I use 20mg Domperidone (it makes the stomach empty so that you absorb more of the medication you take with it), along with an normal dose of soluble asparin dissolved in a 'full-fat' fizzy drink. I was so cynical when the specialist told me to try this, I've had every painkiller going and none of them did anything, but this is really good, and worth a try.
Avatar n tn no, hydrocodone is vicodin. Morphine sulfate is the active ingredient in morphine. If you are worried about a possible reaction to the medication, I would speak to your local pharmacists. I'm not sure if hydrocodone and morphine are in the same family of drugs. I know vicodin and percocet are in a similar family (due to codine), but morphine is much different. refer to this website. http://www.rxlist.com/duramorph-drug.
Avatar m tn You are experiencing symptoms of opioid withdrawal -- one of which is hyper (high) algesia (feeling of pain). Hyperalgesia means you're experience increased pain for no apparent reason, other than opiate withdrawal. Opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH)is one of the most understudied aspects of opioid research.
Avatar f tn What is that going to do for my paralizies? also she asked for my methodone back and gave me morphine instead when I am already on vicodin, valium, savella, & ambien. Is she a nut or what??? I have also never heard of a Dr asking for medication to be returned. They will say to not take any more of it but not to return it. Also I had just had the script filled. I have no insurance. What about the money I just paid for it???
424839 tn?1268186246 IT morphine 1 mg per day is equivalent to oral morphine 75 mg per day. Most patients require between 1 mg and 4 mg per 24 hours intrathecally to achieve reasonable comfort. This is equivalent to between 75 - 300 mg oral morphine per day. Even with this "Rolls Royce" technique, 100% pain relief is not attainable nor expected. Co-medication with paracetamol, NSAIDs, amitriptyline and gabapentin may still be necessary.
