Oramorph Lasting 10 Hours+

I have a strange response to Oramorph - I take 10ml for persistent hip pain two or three times a week. It takes about 2 hrs to kick in and lasts about 10-12 hrs. It is not slow-release. Sometimes I wonder if I'm imagining this or maybe it just relaxes me so the pain feels less. I would like to know if anyone (especially women as I've heard these drugs aren't evaluated on women), has had a similar experience? My doctor says it's impossible! Thanks.

The length of time that any given medication works may vary from person to person, a lot of it depends on your own body chemistry and metabolism.

The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

And yes, they are evaluated on women, under FDA testing requirements sampling for safety must be done among various adult age groups and must involved both genders.

Is there anything else I can help with?
