Morphine Forums (Page 12)

i have a bottle of ten year old morphine and i was wondering if it would be dangerous to take them.... ## Morphine doesn't get dangerous, when it's expired, but it does lose effectiveness and, after 10 years, I doubt there is much potency left to treat pain and do much of anything. This is a narcotic, so in case there is some potency left, you also shouldn't try taking more to get the same effect, because you could run the risk of overdose. Side effects may include: nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and dry mouth. Are there any other questions or comments? ## Have old ampoules of morphine as a powder with a cork at both ends. Can anybody throw some light on its age and history? ## Without a visual reference it would be difficult to estimate the age and or condition. ## I filled ...

I take morphine 15mg extended release tabs right now and I normally take 1 Hydrocodone 10-550's but Im out of those right now..Im wondering if taking another morphine would be ok? I took the first one at 8:00am this morning and its now 7 hours later..Im in pain! ## While they do make 30mg Morphine sulfate extended-release tablets, I know that everyone reacts differently to different doses, based on tolerance - So I can't necessarily imply that a higher dose will still benefit you, in contrast to any possible side effects that come along with it. For that reason alone, it would probably be wise to discuss this approach with the doctor who prescribed you both medications, just to be on the safe side. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Morphine Details How long have...

Morphine ## wondering about statex pills effects ## HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR STATEX 10 MG TO START WORKING AFTER YOU TAKE IT, STATES WITHIN AN HOUR , BUT GENEREALY HOW LONG DO YOU THINK? ## Yes, this is a name brand for a formulation of Morphine, which is an opiate narcotic used to treat severe pain. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. It usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes to start working, Carmie. Are there any other questions?

Would oxycontin & roxicodone show up the same in a probation urine test? ## No they show up separate. ## Yes, They will test you positive for opiates. No differentiation between different varieties of opiates. Unless it's a super intense UA for something really bad, like the kind nurses and docs have to do when they're busted diverting narcotics. ## On simple panle drug tests no they canot tell the difference now if they send off to lab and spacificly ask them 2 see what opioid is being used then they can due to the different matabolites produced from different opioids ## Do a 5mg and 10mg percoset show up the same on a. Ua. ## My husband takes tramadol 50mg tablet and he took 1/2 of a tablet of percocet ONLY 24 hours before he had to do a urine test. (they called him random...

Resident I'm taking care of spit out her liquid morphine on my arm. ## Hello, Bonnie! How are you? It is very doubtful that you would absorb enough of it for it to have any effect. If you had any broken skin on that area of your arm, there was likely greater danger from bacteria in her saliva, than anything else. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Some liquid morphine spilled on my hand and now I am coming up for opiates. I am freaking out. I take no meds that contain opiates. I only take prednisone. ## I work in an assisted living facility where we administer liquid sublingual morphine. I was wondering if it...

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. ## 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 medicati...

Dilaudid is a semi synthetic keytone or Hydromorphone HCL, so it is i feel its twice the potency of morphine, short acting though. I take 70mg Methadone HCL and Dilaudid for breakthrough pain. I did also get Percocet 10/325 but after this new law he would not give me a one. I never ever felt like a dope addict but yet feel they are scrutinizing me at some pharmacies. I am sick to death and because some people are just plain ignorant they ruined many lives of good upstanding folks of all ages. If he continues to cut me down i will go to another. I need help with that but i have no idea where to go in the Denver metro area. ## I don't understand how you are able to feel any narcotic with 70 mgs. of methadone in your system. Methadone works almost as a blocking agent once one has arriv...

if someone took 4 pills over the last 48 hours 2 methadone and 2 morphine 30mg instant relief how long will it take to clear the system if im a skinny person and drink alot of water. also other ways to help clear it out of my system would be helpful. im wondering of the % chance they will be out of my system in 60 hours from the time i last took one. thanks ## Narcotics usually clear the body, for a standard urine test, in about 24 to 48 hours, though this can vary depending on the individual, amount taken and duration. If you have a prescription, just inform them of this, when you go in for testing. Are there any questions or comments? ## Usually it takes approximately 5 half lives (The time it takes Ur body to breakdown/metabolize 1/2 of the drug) for 99.9675% of the drug to clear the...

On my formulary list, it shows Morphine Sulfate bead, as a category of morphine available. I am currently taking morphine sulfate ER 30 mg., but the cost is $90 for a quantity of 90 pills (1 month supply). The Morphine Sulfate bead is shown with a cost of only $15 per month. What is the bead type of morphine and would this be an option for me to use instead of the ER type? ## It is just another time released formulation in a capsule, from what I can find. Are you currently taking tablets, or a name brand? The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.

Okay so I get 30mg morphine ER all the time but I usually get the light purple ones or the new kind which has a moon on one side and they are light yellow but I haven't had these purple 30mg ER box Ms in a long time. The other ones I get seem to squish up like a pancake when I crush them due to the time release gel I'm assuming but I suspect these are fake because they are breaking up into a powder. Also morphine has a certain chlorine taste to it and these ones do not. Does anyone have experience with all of ER morphine generic brands? Do you know if the box ms are supposed to be how I'm describing? I just don't feel anything but I could just be tripping out. Also has anyone here gotten fake pain killers? How do you know they're fake? ## How did they look like? coul...

I was put on morphine sulfate 15mg ER 1 every 12 hours. I had been taking hydrocodone 10/325 4xs a day. Is this a better slightly stronger amount to control pain after taking hydrocodone for 14 years? ## Hello, DezerayBlu! How are you? According to the conversion ratios provided by Global, they convert on a 1:1 ratio. So, to be equal to a daily dose of 40mgs Hydrocodone, you'd need 40mgs of Morphine. It is also time released, so the medication is gradually released over the 12 hour period. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Have you started taking it, yet? If so, how is it working for you? ## I was recently put on morphine sulfate ER 15 mg, every 1...

I take up to 3, 30 mg a day of oxycodone. I'm trying to stop but don't want to get sick. To start off, if I take 30 mg of morphine will I withdrawal? I'm too embarrassed to tell anyone but I really want to stop, so if there are any ideas on how to stop the withdrawals or tame it I'm up for all suggestions. ## Oxycodone is 1 and a half times stronger than Morphine, so yes, you may still experience withdrawal effects, which the FDA lists as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, fever, chills, rebound pain, and diarrhea. A slow taper is usually the best method to stop taking it. Are you on any other medications? Have you consulted your prescriber for assistance? ## No, I have not consulted a doctor, I'm trying to do it myself. I'm trying to taper down righ...

I have been given pill for pain and they said they were morphine tablets. I have morphine capsules from the doctor so it made me a bit suss. The are small round blue tablets with 15 and under the 15 it’s got mg so 15mg on the other side they are blank, also there’s no score line through it. Thanks in advance for any help

My Doc prescribed me 15 mg of Morphine. Ive been on vicodin 7.5 mg for three years. How much of a difference is morphine? I took half of the blue pill just now. ## The Morphine is stronger than the Hydrocodone in the Vicodin, it is also a straight narcotic, without the Acetaminophen that is in the Vicodin. It sounds like your doctor is trying to help you get better control of your pain. The main issue here is, what type of Morphine pills are they? If they are the time released version, generics for MS Contin, then cutting the pill in half could be very dangerous and should not be done. It can cause you to have too much of the medication released at once. The side effects are similar and may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth.

small yellowish pill, scored on one side and a weird symbol like a ribbon or something on the other side...was told it was morphine...is it in fact morphine? ## could be valium. ## That is 4mg Dilaudid ## I know what dilaudid look like, this lady told me they were morphine but i cant find a pic of the pill anywhere, theres no mg amound on the pill, the pill may actually be light green, i wish i could take a pic because the symbol is hard to describe ## Hi Rae (post #3), I found a prime suspect to the ribbon-like symbol you described on a few different clozapine tablets that also have a score line on the backside.

What reason would a doctor prescribe morphine sulfate er and oxycontin ir at the same time? ## Hello, Cyn! How are you? To try to help someone get better pain control. The Morphine ER is a time released medication and the OxyIR is an instant release medication, it's usually taken for breakthrough pain that the time released medication doesn't always control. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Because one is long lasting..er.. extended release..the other I.m. immediately release.. One to help with break through the other to carry u through ## did you just get done with a car c...

I have morphine pills that I want to take for a kidney stone (I get them frequently, so I know that it is a kidney stone), but the bottle that I found today (yes I know I need a new prescription), is dated Feb/05. I do not know if it would be safe to take these, and I do not know who to ask, since it is the Canada Day Holiday, and these pills are over 6 years old, as it is currently July/11. ## To clarify...I ordinarily do have a current prescription, but I forgot to ask the last time I was in at my pain specialist, just a week ago. As a result I went searching for relief and came across an old bottle. Also, I did end up taking the pills, and I unfortunately started throwing up about an half hour afterwards. And the pills did not seem to relieve the pain, but that might be because it di...

People in Tennessee who are in pain management or are being prescribed pain meds are no aware of all the new laws that went into effect July, 1. 2013. I have been with the same Dr. for nearly three years, he told me last month about these changes and that I would have to see him at his new pain clinic for the month of July. Before I could see him I had to go through all the red tape,. everyone at the pain clinic was aware of me coming in, they all knew me by name even though it was my first visit. I had to talk to a law enforcement official who finger printed me, took my picture, did a background check and preformed a drug test, checked me for needle marks, etc. all this before I could see my Dr. Oh yeah, and I had to pay up too. Once I got to see my doctor we talked about all these cha...
