Morphine Sulfate ER (morphine) for Pain "I have been in pain care since I had my child a year and a half ago due to arthritis, my hips being offset from giving birth, and a spine curvature which I need a breast reduction for. I started out with Vicodin and was going through about 7 pills a day. I was later switched to Oxycontin 15 mg three times daily. It worked for a while but it would make me high and then very tired. I became very tolerant to the medication and was switched to Morphine Sulfate ER and it works wonders! I take one in the morning and one before bed and the one I take in the morning lasts all day and keeps me pain free!"

MorphaBond ER (morphine) for Chronic Pain "So, I was on 30 mg of MS contin (morphine) two times a day for 6 months then they took me down to two 15mg a day and I complained. Now they give me this Morphabond two times a day 15 mg. I'm on day 4 and have not gotten ANY relief AT ALL from this! Only relief I get is when I get to take a break through oxycodone at 8 hour intervals! This medicine is useless! I even said I didn't think it was dissolving or something now reading the comments no wonder people OD on this , it's NOT because they ABUSE them it's because they aren't getting any of the meds that they are paying for! Then when I go back to pain management and they pee test me they will say there's nothing there watch because the stuff doesn't dissolve or get absorbed!! What a waste!!!"

For Pain "I have 6 bad discs with degenerative bone and disc disease. I have been on Morphine Sulfate for over 5 years. I started on Methadone then went to Oxy's while the morphine still helps, the the dosage 30mg x 3 daily plus Norco 10/325 along with muscle relaxers and anti-inflammatory medicines. I live a much more productive live. The morphine is awesome!"

MS Contin (morphine) for Chronic Pain "I was prescribed 60 mg MSContin twice a day switching from the 50mcg/hr fentanyl patch because of side effects problems and the fact it only works for the first two days. I was diagnosed with fairly severe osteoarthritis and degenerative disk disease, last year at the age of 26. After wearing the patch for a few months my natural pain tolerance nearly vanished. Now taking this MS-Contin feels like taking aspirin or a small ER/CR hydrocodone dose. "

MS Contin (morphine) for Pain "I am a self-employed landscaper who relies on my body to make an income. After taking many types of medicines for the chronic pain in my lower back, MS Contin 60 mg has been by far the most effective. I have been able to work now on this medicine with very little side effects. What I like the most is only taking one pill every 12 hours. I can concentrate more on my life/work and less on the amount of pills I need in a day."

MS Contin (morphine) for Chronic Pain "Very good medication (as they go) for chronic,intractable back pain. Works well with NSAIDs to keep pain at a tolerable level, without frequent dose changing. Needs to have a breakthrough med with it. Fast acting morphine a good choice."

Morphine Sulfate ER (morphine) for Chronic Pain "Have been taking Er 120mgs 3x a day, with 60mg. For break through pain. I suffer from chronic spinal stenosis with acachnoditis. That being a progressive disorder. After many different Doctors rx not helping' went to pain management clinic. I was inpatient for 4-5 days till they finally found right drug & most important dose. I Do take 60-90mg for breakthrough pain. It works so well. Bless those Dr's that took the time & effort to find answers. I am on same dose for awhile now. The only side effect is bad constipation. I use a stool softener . What a relief to finally have a decent quality of life finally."

MorphaBond ER (morphine) for Chronic Pain "After trying Percocet, gabapentin, Hysingla I tried Morphabond. It did nothing for my pain and I was on 45mg a day. It was less effective than Advil. I was in agony and couldn’t get out of bed by myself. Switched to Norco and I am a different person now almost pain free. I’m not sure why this med didn’t help because it’s supposed to be stronger and norco is much lower but for whatever reason it didn’t work for me and was $200 a month for a year!! I’m glad I switched as Norco is $6.81 a month."

Kadian (morphine) for Chronic Pain "Two scripts (different mg) Kadian(brand only) therapeutic amount by far the best long acting narcotic I've taken (with Lyrica ,Topomax , Zanaflex, etc). Struck by lightning- neurological effects; fibromyalgia; thoracic outlet syndrome; spinal stenosis in cervical, thoracic & lumbar. 3 level lumbar decompression -power wheelchair; thoracic spinal surgery, and so much more."

MS Contin (morphine) for Chronic Pain "I take it for chronic back & foot pain. I had been taking OxyContin ER, but insurance isn't covering that anymore. I am not a fan of short-acting meds, trying to stay on top of pain with them. MS Contin seems to be working only slightly less effectively as the OxyContin ER. More dry mouth, less sedating tho. Both seem about equal on other side effects. I'm happy with it!"

Morphine Sulfate ER (morphine) for Chronic Pain "I am 55 & have been on this long acting medication for decades. It keeps my overall pain on the level but doesn't seem to conquer the severe bone pain. I have other med for breakthrough pain. I have had RSD for almost 30 years now , had Endo as well as Fibro, DDD, Spinal Stenosis, Post-Lyme Arthritis and Adhesive Arachnoiditis from the 14 years of constant Epidural Injections. One of which went very badly in 2007. Morphine ER saved my life. When the Drs. decided to force taper me off both of my Rx Opioids in 2018, due to the totally misread 2016 CDC Guidelines, I simply wanted for my journey to end. The pain was worse than I could ever explain & I would only get 1 to 2 hrs. of sleep. I finally found a Doctor in January 2020 and while, due to the overall stricter prescribing standards, my Dr. could only prescribe a little bit each month until I finally got up to my dose of 60mg, 3 x daily. This medicine is a Godsend for my quality of living."

Morphine Sulfate ER (morphine) for Chronic Pain "I have been diagnosed with MS for 20 yrs. And just recently had back surgery I'm taking 30 mg morhine sulfate ER along with 10mg norcos for breakthrough pain. I'm 4 weeks post op and still having severe lower back pain and the morphine does not seem to be touching the pain which makes me take more breakthrough pain has anybody else had issues with morphine not helping?"

Morphine Sulfate ER (morphine) for Chronic Pain "I have tried several different pain meds.I had 2 discs in my neck replaced in 2008 and have a neck fusion. I also have severe and chronic pain. It's unbearable at times. I take 60mg ER one in morning and one at night. It's the only thing that lets me function and xanax 2mg relaxes the muscles in my neck and back. I find it works better if I take 1 and lie down for about 20 minutes to let it work better then I'm good til evening. I wouldn't be able to get out of bed without them. It really takes my pain away like nothing else ever. I've been on it for about 7-8years."

Kadian (morphine) for Chronic Pain "After trying Percocet, OxyContin and several other types of pain medication my doctor prescribed me Kadian and by far this is the best medication I have ever used for my chronic pain from Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis. I am on the low dose 10mg and it has outperformed the 40mg OxyContin I was on."

MS Contin (morphine) for Chronic Pain "MS Contin 200mg x2 am/ 2pm, Allows me to function more than without it. I'm actually out of the bed more than before I started. I don't get the highs & lows of taking short acting pain meds around the clock. I get a steady release of pain control. Of course I have breakthrough dilauid 8mg tabs as needed. I have Chronic Pain, multiple Lumbar Spine Fusions, Cervical Spine Compression ( all levels) Currently advised to get total Cervical Fusion, but didn't get medical approval for surgery. This medicine is a life preserver!"

Avinza (morphine) for Chronic Pain "It worked great on my Hyper-Mobility Syndrome! (All of my joints are "double-jointed") Which causes chronic pain for years & gets worse with age. The only side effect I've had is constipation. With Avinza I actually have a better quality of life!"

For Pain "I have been given no other choice but to self medicate! I have a spot on my brain and a cyst on my brain stem and in my spinal column, in my neck from a car wreck that give's me intense pain, as well as headaches where I feel I would be better of dead and gone, than to suffer while...no doctor in Kentucky will help, to them everyone is a junkie! which is just WRONG,...I suffer to where a GROWN man sits and cries! so I will do what I have to do for pain relief! It helps when a man REALLY needs it! I know I am NOT the only one!"

Morphine Sulfate ER (morphine) for Chronic Pain "I have chronic back pain for 23 years following a fall down a flight of stairs. I ruptured 3 discs and fractured various vertebral areas in my lumbar and thoracic spine. I also have Chronic Lyme Disease, Brucellosis and I have developed Fibromyalgia and Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome in both lower extremities. I have various types of paresthesia from burning to lancing. I have been on many types of Schedule II opioid pain medications from Fentanyl, Morphine, Hydromorphone, Oxycodone, Hydrocodone and Methadone. The best relief & safest medication has been the Morphine Sulfate Extended-release 200mg every 12 hours with 30 mg Oxycodone every 4 hours for breakthrough pain. I just wish it was less expensive since I do not have insurance"

MS Contin (morphine) for Chronic Pain "I have osteoarthritis from head to toe. At a visit my Reumatoligist stated I had reached a point where I needed more help than she could provide & wanted me to go to a pain clinic--I had never heard of them. I began going there, they took several vials of blood. They wrote a script for 10mg of oxycodone for up to 4 a day. When I returned in 30 days. After reviewing my labs, they also wanted me to take Ms Contin,, 15mg morn & night. Was told I would not feel the effect for about 2 weeks. I was about to give up, but one morning got up & realized, wow my pain was down. Since I have pain medicine in my system 24 hours a day, plus can take my Oxycodone as needed, my pain is much more controlled. I know I will never be pain free, but its ok."

For Chronic Pain "I have had 20 years of pain, 4 of which were severe. The causes of pain are herniated L3,4,5 and S1 discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, sacroiliac joint malfunction. MST Continus 40mg three times a day has enabled me to resume a level of fairly normal activity. I’m very grateful for this. Adverse side effect is insomnia."

Morphine Sulfate ER (morphine) for Chronic Pain "I have been in pain for 30 years from My spinal cord is being over stretched since age 13. During my growth stage when your spinal cord lifts away from your lower back. I’m have spinalbifita acolta spinal canal does not make a full circle around your spinal cord it makes a C instead. A fatty lipoma grew through the C and attach it’s self into my spinal cord and tethered it to my bones and is cutting off blood flow to my nerves which is causing nerve damage and pain. I have been to more than 20 pain specialist there is no way to operate on it. So right now I’m on 6 Oxycodone 10mg , 3 morphine sulf ER75mg a day and 2 fentinayl patches 100 mcg/hr every 2 days Basically I’m on a huge amount of pain meds all narcotics a day. I’m now 44 I still have a huge amount of pain. What I have learned about all pain meds is you build up a tolerance to all of them after a while.There is no magic pill like morphine sulf ER.If you have enough pain nothing works good enough and you have to make it work."

For Chronic Pain "To be completely 100% honest with you guys. I was given morphine for about a week and it was the extended-release ones . It didn't work for me .The morphine my doctor gave me was extended and it was supposed to last up to 12 hours and at the end of the day it didn't do anything. The only thing Morphine did for me was made me a little nauseous and my stomach was cramped up and I couldn't go to the bathroom. Now if the doctor were to try the fast-acting morphine I bet you that would have been a lot better but most doctors do not want to give out fast acting medications anymore and those are the ones that are going to work.."

Avinza (morphine) for Chronic Pain "Took for chronic pain of knee, back had half of 2 vertebra removed and fibromyalgia. This medicine did not work at all for me. I have taken oxycodone and methadone for pain and they made things bearable. This medicine did no good at all. I was only given 20 mgs a day after 80mg a day methadone and 80mg oxycodone. This is all the pain clinic would prescribe so I had to go back to methadone that makes me gain weight and my teeth are rotting out but I can function and have relief of pain. Still have pain but I can bear it."

MS Contin (morphine) for Chronic Pain "I fractured C2 and C3 along with T4 and T5 in 1976, I had chronic pain 7/10 for close to 20 years 24/7, finally my doctor started me on a "pain contract" taking of MS Contin 60mg a day which went up to 100mg twice a day because of my tolerance, I was at that level for about 10 years with 60mg of Oxycodone X 2 a day, at this point in time I have reduced the MS Contin to 45mg once a day and 15mg Oxycodone X 2 a day for BT pain which works quite well for me, my level of pain has gone down from 7/10 & 8/10 to 4&5 /10 and have a decent quality of life again, I will most likely continue on this daily routine for a long time to keep my quality of life at these numbers..."

Morphine Sulfate IR (morphine) for Chronic Pain "Dr switched me to Morphine IR 15mg every 6 hours and Morphine ET 15 mg every 12 hours. I have severe lumbar facet joint syndrome and my left L5/S1 facet is so swollen it presses against my sciatic nerve at times . Now that I’m on Morphine IR I have my personality back in tact and I have found some relief! I recommend a genetic test if you feel meds aren’t working. I was on Percocet which activates the kappa receptor which can cause dysphoria (my experience). If you must be on these types of medications, trust your body to tell you and if all else fails - ask for a genetic test for pain. It can be a very helpful tool in avoiding meds that won’t work or give you unwanted side effects!"
