They are often prescribed that way to help get better control of severe pain, but of course, it depends on the person's opiate tolerance and should only be done with a doctor's approval.

The NIH 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.

Is the patient also taking any other medications?

Thank you for your response, Verwon. Yes, I take several other meds, but it doesn't matter now. My pain management doctor stopped the morphine. My feet/ankles had swollen to twice their normal size and I was experiencing itching (no rash). The morphine was not helping the pain after being on it for one week anyway. I will see the doctor next week and he will probably try another medication. Thanks again, Skeeter
