Morphine Sulf Er By Rhodes (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

I have been getting my morphine from CVS for over 5 yrs. They will only get Rhodes mfg. generic. These pills are so bad some times my nose runs, I am in a with draw state. Every month its the same some thing. It seems like sometimes they have the right amount of morphine in them while most times Its as though I am taking nothing. Anyone else out there with this problem? I think some of these pills are bootleg. No way to prove it and CVS does not seem to care.

That's because they think you are a pill shopper, addict.

Thank you so much for your input. It was comforting to hear someone out there agrees with me. The thing is people who have real pain issues know their own bodies. I work for a doctor and some days on these darn pills I go into withdraw while working, sweats, nose running the whole bit. It is embarrassing to say the least. I wish there was a way to send these pills out to be tested. I am quite sure something is very wrong. I do realize different generic drugs have cheap compounds to hold them together that's why they are so much cheaper. But at whose expense Ours of course. I will be taking my Rx's to Kmart from now on.

I too had a similar experience with this brand of MS ER.
(30mg).I was taking Kadian 60mg 2 x a day and after having some surgeries to repair the problem(s), I asked my pain management Dr to help me begin tapering off. Thus I was prescribed MS ER 30mg 2 times a day. (3 if needed). The taper down went OK for the first two months but on the third months fill I went to CVS and they gave me the Rhodes version. Within the same day i started on those, my pain levels shot up and i felt as if i had not taken anything! 2nd day worse, 3rd day it was apparent that I was beginning serious withdrawals, even taking an extra third one during the day. The following days--total hell! I ended up a twisted knot of muscle spasms and pain.
My PM Dr. switched me back to the prior brand generic and everything went back to normal. In my view it HAD to be that particular brand. Although CVS argued with me about it, I ended up taking my script to Walgreens.

That is the way cvs treats all their customers. Nothing new to me. I hate cvs!!!!! I will be glad someday when I can go back to walgreens. They know how to give customer care!!!

Thank you for your response, I did ask many times. and told them all other mfg seemed to work. The head pharmacist is a real jerk. God complex I think. I went to Kmart and talked to the people there. They said they will do everything to try and get the brands in that work for me. I'm confused.After years of going to CVS this is the first time I have been treated like this. Their loss..Kmart here I come.

Have you tried asking them if they can order in the ones made by a different manufacturer for you? They usually can, but you'll have to pay any price difference between it and the existing generic, because your insurance usually won't.

Another alternative would be speaking to your doctor about trying a different medication, or trying a different pharmacy. Have you considered doing either one of these?
