Morphine Side Effects How Long Can Dizziness Last (Top voted first)

Hello~ I’ve been taking 5/325% for severe back pain due to an injury since 2012. I had surgery in 2014. I’m still experiencing severe pain and have been taking the Percocet since. Recently my doctor has prescribed MS Contin 15 mg. Although it did take the pain down a few notches, I became very dizzy and it felt like the world is spinning around me. I actually stumbled a few times which I felt was putting me at more risk. Then came the nausea and the feeling sick part. My question is, what are peoples experience as far as does the dizziness and nausea feeling go away after you’ve been taking it for a few days or longer? I realize that everybody and every body is different, but I would love to hear others’ experiences to help me decide whether I will continue taking it or not.

When I was on it, years ago, most side effects went away after about 6 weeks, but the severe drowsiness I experienced never stopped, which the FDA does warn. It also carries the risk of being habit forming.

How are you doing on it, now?

Not so good .
Still feeling the negative side affects.
Going to see my dr. This week to discuss any other options.
Like most people with chronic pain, I just want some relief without having to feel so crappy !
Meaning, yes, my pain level went down a notch, but other physical sidebaffects went up 3 notches.
I get that there is no “cure”, but I yearn for a quality of life that feels worth living for.
I hate that my pain owns me.
Although I’m a candidate for another surgery, truth is, I’m not mentally capable of going through it again . At least at this point in my life.
