I Am Taking Morphine Sulfate Er 30 Mg Twice A Day And Also Imm Rel 15mg (Page 2)

I am taking morphine sulfate er 30mg tablets twice a day and also taking morphine sulfate imm rel 15mg once, sometimes twice a day. Finances won't allow me to get the morphine er at this time. Question: what is dosage of morphine imm per day without morphine er for 5 or 6 day until I can get the morphine er?

You are most likely already "addicted" because of the length of time you have consistently been using Morphine. So, from my experience an increase isn't going to really matter as far as addiction is concerned. But, I say if you feel you need the increase because you are in pain, increase it. I've been on & off Morphine for over 20 yrs Morphine 60 ER 3 times a day to 15 mg ER 2 times a day. I am not going to live in pain. But, it is a personal choice.

I have ankykolosing Spondylitis, Paget's disease of the bone,and was diagnosed via the hlb-27 serum,or blood test in1980.I was 25 yrs old and told by age 40,I would be in a wheelchair. I never fully accepted this,how ever ,fast forward to 2016,I'm now 60 yrs old,and been on every opiate in all forms and dosages,but now after 2--c spine fusions,2 total hip replacement's,and one total hip replacement revision,and 2 lower back L-1 to S-1,fusions,with internal fixation,and most recently, a total knee replacement. And,the ortho Dr says I need a revision,,on top of the last revision.i said all this for mainly one reason,i have learned dispite all my expierance w pain killers,that what used to work last year or 10 years ago may not work today.Im currently taking 30 mgs of MS contin 2 times aday and its not even close to giving me relief,so i have increased it to 3 times a day,still not working,and i didnt mention that i had a morphine pump for 3 yrs and finally had it removed last september,because it didnt work either
But,the problem here in florida is goverment regulation ,doctord are so intemidated by the DEA and other forms of negative reporting demonizing the doctors that are trying to help their patients have normalcy in their lives rather than becoming nonproductive,and misable,often turning to alcohol,and illicite drugs to fill the void,then we wonder why we hear about all the deaths attributed to overdoses,which only serves to frighten people out of seeking pain relief from reliable doctors.Our whole system of government regulators restricting the medical comunity from prescribing narcotics to those who truely need them ,has fallen Miles short of any use.It def created a vibrant black market,alcoholic and,aided the drug dealer in profits.

Many Doctors & Nurses, (especially nurses) in all decrees are not knowledgeable to meet the needs of pain sufferers. PEOPLE! ~VOICE THE NEGLECT OF REQUIRED MEDICATION DOSES to your medical professionals superiors, It could make all the difference in your mood, depression & possibly proper heal time. ADVISE HEALING ORGANIZATIONS THE TRUTH OF WHAT THEY DO AND DON'T DO. HAVE THEM ADMIT IT! LACK OF DIGNITY AND HOW FACILITY STAFF TREAT US! I just started to save myself & others miserable as so. Each of us are different! We require differently! Kinds of medicines. Doses is a no brainer..not to mention how we are treated as an individual patient. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH OR HAVE SOMEONE ELSE ASSIST TO YOUR NEEDS BECAUSE LORD KNOWS, WE NEED IT! Yes, they are certified yet don't adhere to what is expected of them to sooth us when in need of pain management. Yes, nurses should help! DO WHAT THEY'RE HIRED TO DO! Monitor what kind and how many mg's you are consuming so you don't take too much or incorrectly. Oh no! Too much trouble to put them out where you are. They have to be somewhat literate with typing skills or familiar with a computer, have fairly good eyesight as pills always make you squint, (=more room for error =population control), long lasting time concentrating on the mobile medicine carts with wheels, pray they don't have an arthritic attack in any form because they haven't had enough breakaway from the constant call nurse needed bell. That's too much work so you don't receive services in a timely kind basis without an attitude! I didn't sign up for this to watch you complain each time I see you! I am truly scared to ask for HELP I GREATLY NEED! Maybe next shift, nurse is older. They may be slow & some illiterate but genuine in pain solving and care for their jons plus they're patients with patience. Pride in making us content moreso! For those that are not: WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS HOW AWFUL IT IS TO TRY TO TOLERATE WHAT I TAKE. THANKS TO YOU, IN EMOTIONAL PAIN TO GO WITH THE INTOLERABLE PHYSICAL PAIN! YOU have that right to take out all of your anxieties I HAVE BEEN FEELING on me. I will understandably & compassionately listen to how you are overworked and barely get a break. When I look up, looks like there's a whole lot more talk, lean & breaktime happening. Example. Why so tired when I had to get up with extreme pain & swollen toes to my thighs after 45 minutes waiting or say reminder for a bandaide. For the record, had to find one elsewhere. Not a great bandaide station either. Most positively-see for yourself-feel they lie. One of the things can do best at will to be sure they have their own script handy at will beings they don't have a health issue to warrant a drug in their own name for taking and purpose. They're end of shift policy is so ignorant, a small child could "stash" for later. "Nice life if you can get it", a program on tv just stated. The dead can speak. I am not there yet but it is no wonder why they are so harsh around me..guilty conscious. With they're type of profession, they should be supervised, suspended & more depending the risks. Mandatory chill pill?! Owe us apologizes Program structured and focuses episodes discussing medical care and those effects. We first off suffer from a misfortune that creates the pain our body has to endure, then we constantly are ignored, neglected & treated as though we are born into some sort of junkie class of hopeless beggars! If only these professionals were taught correctly, they would realize the importancy for comfort and quality of life in which they should already know what this entails. Truly is necessary for survival. They don't feel the pain so it's easy for them to delay, scold you for taking something that is addictive, lie when they will arrive to administer, make you feel inadequate as a human being begging for mercy like they're enjoying every minute of it. "I'll be there in a minute, wait a minute, just a minute"..just to surfice the countless complaints of repetitive requests as you continually wait day after day, hour after hour, minute by by minute to be shunned upon. Someday they themselves too shall reach time in their life where they will be in such excruciating pain, they will then share this agony. Meanwhile while they're healthy, strong, and able..they prefer to motion slowly smiling to those that need diaper change because it doesn't require reading nor thinking much. Either way, they get paid the same. Whiping a doopy or delivering a way for us strickened in their path of whom should be aiding is greatfully appreciated from those that were training correctly and use their heart..not just who/what they prefer for that moment. Pride in ego you are, how you earn your pay check. Take your stand! you and so many more that cant even speak for themselves need YOU such as those in a coma, can't speak due to many reasons, or mind wants to speak but mouth cannot! I've skipped doses to avoid icky face. Chose suffer. Employ elsewhere? Not much choice. You're self righteous attitude stinks. Doctors, Nurses & US....DO YOU MIND!

I was on 240mg of morphine sulfate slow release 3 times a day, I turned into a sleeping drooling fool this lasted for 3 years then I decided after another series illness it's time too wean myself off took me 6 months to come down to 60 mg 3 times a day. this was good no I stored all my unused morphine so I could get over the worst of the pain I was in. I then went down to 60mg twice daily but still had a 60mg if I needed it now I have run out of all what I had stored away. I also take morphine sulfate as and when required which i always took 30 mg and by week two of my monthly script I would be out of that to. i am now down to 50mg twice daily now and hope to get down to 30mg twice daily. my pain is chronic life long every min of every day . And to anybody who suffers as i do best of luck with finding an end to your pain.

Re: Duncan (# 24)

Hi Duncan. I'm Sue. I take 3 30 msg of morphine sulfate and 2 morphine IR daily. I have taken morphine sulfate regularly for 20 years. Be careful of your prescription directions and follow your dosing. I have, after spinal surgeries, other abdominal surgeries and now several bone degeneration, I needed my pain regiment upgraded due to losing the use of both shoulders and hands, knees and other joints, the pain management doctor won't help me. I don't want to live this way. I'm through with doctors not wanting to help me. I am helpless. My bones are rubbing together with spurs and I am literally losing the use of both hands. Take care of yourself.
