Embeda (morphine / naltrexone) "My pain doctor prescribed the embeda and it was truly horrible. I still had chronic pain and on top of that I sweat profusely. Like I just got of shower. Also had depression. Told physician and she put me back on what I was taking in the first place. Now, I am much better and can enjoy and live life!"

"When I started taking this Rx, I found it much more reliable than my previous chronic pain med, fentanyl patches, which did not evenly alleviate the pain over the 3 days each patch was supposed to be worn. The patches would work well over the 1st 2 days, give or take, but their effectiveness was noticeably weaker on the 3rd day. Unlike my experience with oxycontin, the pain relief from this Rx generally lasts pretty close to the 12 hours it is supposed to, in time for the next dose. I believe the naltrexone inhibits the marked euphoria as felt on the first day of a fresh fentanyl patch or when taking a short acting opioid like vicodin or percocet."

"After sucessfully taking Avinza 120 3x daily I was selected to try Embeda 120. I took my 1st dose shortly after leaving the Pharmacy. Stopped for a take-out sandwich. When I reached home I started feeling strange...by the time I walked into my kitchen I heard a loud sound like cicadas in the trees...thought " this is springtime, what are they doing out?" Then I realized the sound was in my head. Got super dizzy, barely made it to the bed before experiencing instant, total withdrawal symptoms. And no, I didn't crush the Embeda just swallowed it. I writhed around the bed for 8 hours in violent convulsions, badly hurting my knees which needed replacement. Found out later I was one of the 8-12 % who carry an enzyme that releases the Naltrexone"
