REPORT

I was on ms contin for 15 yrs and the doc decided to take me off and put me on oxycontin 40 mg 2x a day plus cut me back from 4 percocets to 3 and it did not help me so i told her to just give me back what i was on before because taking away that 4th perc that i get at night really helps me to sleep better for the pain. Well she put me on the embeda which i have yet to try since its so new walgreens did not have it in and had to order it which means for two days i will not have my morphine to take and will probably be going through withdrawls because of her. I told her they could not get it in until monday and she did not care, not too happy with the pm i am going to. I have atrial fib with my heart and was told by the pharmacist that i should not be taking this drug with my heart problems and told the doc but she did not care told me i would be fine. She is actually the PA so i have not seen the doc but once in two yrs and she is new as of 2 months ago. I am worried that the 3 30 mg embeda is not going to work for me if it ever comes in at walgreens. I am also worried that i will go through withdrawls taking this drug from getting off the oxycontin. Is the embeda the same as ms contin? Is this stronger than the oxycontin i was on? and I also take the 10/325 percs 4x a day. I have gone through a lot with meds lately since the PA change and I feel like im fighting a loosing battle anymore. I just want some pain relief for my fibromyalgia, spondylosis,arthritis,abdomial scar tissue that i get pain from 3 surgeries and my bad knees with chronic bursitis in my thighs/hips. I appreciate any info i can get on this. Thank You

I have used Morphine, before, but not this formulation with the Naltrexone. What would you like to know?

The reason the Naltrexone is included is to prevent abuse of other narcotics while using this medication.

The Morphine itself is a very potent narcotic analgesic.

Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and constipation.

Does anyone that's used this have anything to add?

Your information is incorrect - the naltrexone is not added "to prevent abuse of other narcotics, while using this medication". The naltrexone has no action unless the product is broken down first.

I have been on every opiate pain med there is in the past 35 years due to chronic pain from a genetic disorder and birth defects in my neck and back. Was recently prescribed Embeda, I am having more difficulty sleeping, migraines have increased dramatically and having nightmares. Wondering if anyone else has this problem.

Hi Pamela,

Re: Pamela (# 4)

I am too Pamela. I was at 3 30 ER mg. of MS Contin and 2 15 MS Contin IR daily. I am taking for 4 days Embeda 2 2.4 mg. in the morning. I am groggy, I feel like I am in withdrawal with migraine headaches and constipated. I had a week's worth of the other meds left over and until I see my new pain specialist again, I know that I have them also. I am scared to take anything else now that I started Embeda. I don't understand how 120 mg. daily of my MS Contin can be the same anyway. One difference that I noticed is that it does work for my other chronic issues. Sue

Re: Verwon (# 1)

Hi Verwon, I took Embeda for 5 days. It made me very sick. My husband says I had dark circles under my eyes one day when he came home from work. I had vomiting, dizziness, diarrhea, headaches and a lot of pain. I am not an alcoholic or drug abuser. I have legitimate chronic pain due to just to many fusion surgeries from a car accident 6 years ago. Hip replacement, lupus, diabetes, severe osteoarthritis in just about all my joints including the loss if using my right hand and I am 60 years old. My brain receptors are obliterated from being dropped from 1 gram of MS Contin daily through all these surgeries and I have been taking 120 mg (30 mg x 4 daily for 4 years) since the drop from 1. Gram or 1000 mg daily of MS Contin daily. I was withdrawn from 1000 mg 10 percent weekly for 4 months successfully. I didn't slip and take more once during the drop. I am not a druggie. I take opiods for pain. I don't feel high and if I could feel high from Ms Contin I honestly don't think it would be my choice. I am trying to get this story out there so if someone who is sincerely in pain and doesn't abuse opioids, let the doctors know that this Morphabond and Embeda can put them at risk for withdrawal symptoms so severe, that they wish they had never been born. My husband looked at me with black, and I mean black circles under my poor old eyes and his first thought was my heart so we went back to my pain specialist and he put me right back on 120 mgs of regular Ms Contin daily. Now the naltrexone is slowly leaving my system. I also had severe chest pains. I have had a heart attack in 2008 where I had 3 stents placed in my heart. Please post this honest review about the drugs Embeda and Morphabond. They could possibly be fatal to some people with serious health issues like mine!
