I have no idea where you got the info that 60mg morphine sulphate is the highest dose that one can get outside of the hospital, as it is seriously wrong. Just over 1 year ago I took 9 100mg morphine sulphate and another 6 pills per day of 30mg instant release morphine. I have spent this time coming off of it, as I felt it ruined any semblance of who I was and why I am here. I can get away with 1 15mg morphine sulphate about every 40 hours at this point with no serious side affects. By serious, I mean I'm not puking my guts up, and bring carried to hospital by ambulance bcuz I forgot a single dose. I beg all of you, do not abuse your body with this horrid drug. Withdrawal for over a year...think about how you want to spend your life, as pain is all encompassing, but so are high doses of any narcotic. If I can do this, anyone can. Best of luck to all.

Yes pharmacy's here in Okla choose not to stock most pain medicines. I think most hospitals have an in-house Pharmacy. Maybe check your local hospital?? Hopefully they fill your morphine presriptions.

Im in Florida and would love to know the name of the drug, after 5 surgeries I am eager to learn about it, morphine 30 mg is doing nothing for me now, I hope you get this (2012) and you wrote in 2009.

did not help me at all. Only Senna tea worked (can only use a few days, but that's all that is needed)

It's not the morphine vs the hydrocodone thats causing the constipation. It's both or either. ANd opiate based drug causes constipation. Drink lots of water and eat lots of fiber in different forms. Bran stopped working for me after yrs. Now I eat a lot of vegetables, fruits, flaxseeds and beans. Try Senna tea but only one cup steeped 2 to 5 minutes. That will start the cleaning out 12 hours later. It's a natural laxative so don't steep too long. If you must stay on opioid pain meds, counter it with this diet that is healthy anyway. Also don't just sit all day. Get 30 minutes of exercise. Walking will do.

I have severe lumbar spinal stenosis. I take 60mg Morphine Sulfate. Twice a day.
15 mg, is a joke, for your kind of pain. Your DR. must be scared of the DEA.
I was told a long time ago, that if you take narcotics for acute pain, or any kind of pain, YOU CAN NOT GET ADDICTED. Yes if you are getting off the drug after being on any narcotic for awhile, then you have to be weaned off of it. But you are not going to have an addiction problem. I don't know who told you you would.. but they are wrong.
It i s great if that small dose works for you, but as time goes on, you will get used to that dose and need more. But that doesn't mean you will have an addiction problem.

From my experience, opiates such as oxycodine and morphine really are one in the same.... The Drs state that they are for cronic pain, but from mine and almost everyone I kno, with herniated disc, slipped disc, and many other back n hip problems, they really don't work worth s**t. I had a Dr take a chance with me n put me on subutex, which yes is an opiate blocker, but I swear by it, it got me off the consipating pain killers n the endless nights crying in, pain... Not saying it will help everyone, just speaking from my own experience

First off, all narcotics cause constipation. You can do stool softeners, crushed flax seed, prunes, any number of things.
If you are a pain patient, you will not get addicted to pain meds. There are times if you are going from one drug to another, you might have to be weaned off of the old one, but not always the case. Now if you abuse your pain meds, then there is a higher risk of you becoming addicted. I read of Brokenbiker taking 15mg of Morphine. That is a very low dose. For instance I take 60 mg of morphine, and 5 mg of percoset for break through pain. This 60mg is the highest dose you can get outside of the hospital. If your DR. is giving you more then 60mg of Morphine twice daily, then he better keep an eye on where the DEA is searching, because he can have his license taken away..
But as for you only having a some dose, of that drug, are you truly getting pain relief.
As for Shirley, it sounds like the pain you are referring to is nerve pain. And Morphine and any other Narcotic will not help nerve pain. A good drug for nerve pain is Neurotin. They would start him out on a low dose, and work there way up. Like right now I am on 800mg 3x a day. Hope this helps.
To Sandra, any narcotic is is constipating. They are both Narcotics..
To Fish. The narcotic does not help relieve nerve pain. Ask your DR. about Neurotin.

I have just been put on morphine 15 mg and the doctor told me and so did the written material that accompanied the medicine that it along with all pain killers - It said to take a laxative while taking this med.
Hope this helps. If a laxative becomes too harsh, try a stool softener.

My husband just had anterior/posterior back operation on May 1st and 2nd, L3 through S1, brought him home on the 11th, he has throbbing pain from the left butt down, taking the Moraphine- 2 per day with Vicodon for breakthrough pain, is not working well. He only get relief for about 4-5 hours, he has doubled the Moraphine but can't get any long term pain control, seems to me he is getting worse instead of better with the Moraphine, goes for his post op on 6/7, hopefully they can find out what is going on with him and do something for better pain management, I feel for him as there is no much I can do for him, any suggestions, thank you.

I always take a stool softner to avoid constipation since I now take pain medicine! I take 2 stool softners daily and it has reduced the constipation problem. I wish my dr would give me something stronger for the osteoarthitis in my knee and foot.

Yes, constipation is a very common side effect of morphine. This -might- ease up after a while, but I find drinking lots of vegetable and fruit juice helps. Note that when you stop taking morphine, you usually go through a few days of diarrhea.

I don't know what to do!!!

Is it the morphine or the vicodon that is constipating?
I have tried to "stop" each for reasonable periods of time to find out which is constipating. Horrible constipation.

I must have medication but it does not seem to help.. Terrible when I lie down.

Two options -- neither attractive. Take meds and suffer horrible onstipation ----- or stop meds and endure horrible pain.

Is there an answer?
