Switching From Norco 10 To Morphine 30

I was on norco 10 valium 40 and ibuprofen 800 every 4 hrs. Dr switched it to tramadol 50 every 6. Crap crap crap...I would take 4-6 tramadol every 3 hrs just taking the edge off...now im out and dr wont give me crap...my mom gave me 30 mg morphine as we have the same issues only shes been dealing with it for 30 yrs now while I await an appointment...im scared to take it I hate pills I hate opiates I see it no different than H and honestly im a recovering meth addict so its just not my taste...BUT MOSTLY I HATE ALL PILL INCLUDING TUMS...SO WHAT AM I TO EXPECT IF I TAKE THIS 30mg MORPHINE? HOW DIFFERENT IS IT FROM THE NORCO 10 or the VALIUM?

Hi Maria,

Valium (diazepam) is a completely different medication altogether, dealing with anxiety as opposed to pain. However, drugs like Norco & Morphine can affect each person differently as well... and unfortunately the only way to know for sure how they're going to affect you, is to try it. But I believe that if you were to go into this with a negative mindset, then you probably shouldn't set your expectations high. There are some pills I hate too (just as much as a vegan hates hamburgers *not the best analogy* lol), but at some point you have to make the decision to do whatever it is you need to do in order to get pain relief, even if it means having to go against your morals from the start. Some people also say that hydrocodone is just as closely related to H (if not more so) than morphine is; go figure.

You may want to let your doctor know about the morphine if you do end up deciding to take it, just to be on the safe side. Especially if it's something you've never taken before?
