Absolutely not without consulting your doctor first. Too much risk is involved not to mention it's a controlled medication and if you use more than prescribed you will be considered abusing the drug. Speak first to your medical professional before self-medicating.

You definitely should not adjust your dosage, without consulting your doctor, as was already stated.

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.

Ref: Morphine Information

All opiate analgesics can cause constipation as a side effect. What did you try to alleviate it?

When I was on them, I found that upping my fiber intake really helped a lot.
