Morphine Sulf With Oxycodone Safe To Take Together?
(Newest replies first)

I am new to this fourm, and I have a few questions someone may be able to answer. I have chronic back pain as a result of Cauda Equina Snydrome, and an injury at L5/S1. My Pain Mgt doc made a med change about 3 wks ago. I was one taking Oxycodone 15 MG tablets, but I was still having a LOT of breakthrough pain. As of 3 wks ago, my doc ADDED Morphine Sulf 15 MG's SRT. The combination of the two meds appears to be working but there are still some minor pain issues. I spoke with my doc the other day and we will talk again on Feb 2nd. He told me he thinks going to the 15 MG Morphine Sulf every 8 hrs, vs 12 hrs will help. He also wanted to see if I could go to 10 MG's of Oxycodone as needed 8 hrs, vs 15 MG's of Oxycodone as needed every 8 hrs. In sum, the 15's MG's of Morphine Sulf will increase to every 8 hrs, and the Oxycodone will decrease to 10 MG's as needed every 8 hrs. I've never used Morphine Sulf before, and would like to know if anyone else has used this combination of meds and results you experienced? I know people have different pain levels so what worked for you, may not work for me. I just don't know anything about Morphine Sulf, and if this combination is effective and what is the down side? My concern is NOT having pain all the time, but like everyone else, I don't want any of the risks, or side effects either. - Thoughts ?????

I took both, when I was on pain management a few years ago. The Morphine was my main pain medication and the Oxycodone was for breakthrough pain. It worked very well, however, it did make me sleep a lot.

One thing you might want to ask your doctor about is using an instant release formulation of the Oxycodone, rather than a regular release, since it will work fast for the breakthrough pain.

Is there anything else I can help with?
