Morphine Sulfate Er Tablets (Top voted first)

I have been on kadian for 2 yrs now. 150mg twice a day, plus percocet10/325 for breakthrough. works pretty well. Now I have to switch to morphine sulfate er TABLETS. I will be taking 160 mgs twice per day. Have not taken yet so I don't know if they will work as good as the kadian. What I was also wondering if the morphine sulfate er CAPSULES work better than the morphine sulfate er TABLETS. anyone try both to see if there was any difference thank you

There is not a generic for Kadian 10mg
Can I count the little white dots in the 20 and take
Take 1/2 of them in a gelcap?

Yes, the ER capsules (not generic!) do work better, for me at least. The capsules release slower, seems to last a bite longer vs the ms contin pill for. They've come out with a generic for the ms once daily (avinza-good) and its junk! The ms once daily ER (avinza) works to control pain better than the pill bc the pill is fadt release. Hope it helps.

The generic Kadian works better and longer than the MS Contin even though it's the same medication. I know I've been on them and MS Contin drugged me & did nothing for the pain as they increased my dose many,many years ago. It's a known fact that Kadian does come generic, looks like real Kadian and works longer, has a longer half life than MS Contin and only needs to be taken once or twice a day depending on your strength. Whereas the MS Contin is usually prescribed 3 times a day, I've also had the same issue and have been on a lower dose of Kadian generic at 3 times a day and it DEFINATELY works better & longer than MS Contin. Read up on both drugs even though same active ingredient you'll see that Kadian does in fact last longer in the system than MS Contin. MS Contin they kept increasing my dose even though I said it didn't work & I was drugged feeling. With the Kadian whether 2 or 3 times a day depending on strength I function better and it stays in system longer. Trust me I'm an RN and I've been taking it in generic form, even though Kadian on capsule it's better.

What you're switching to is just a generic for Kadian, it still contains a time released formulation of Morphine.

As to which one works better, when I was taking it, I never noticed a different between the tablets or the capsules, but what is true for me may not be true for you. You really need to try it for yourself and see what works best for you.
