Hi Mike, I'm not sure of the question you are asking, but am very familiar with Morphine Sul. ER (MS Contin, Oramorph ER, etc..) The Methadone is a drug with a very long 1/2 life and can be an effective pain med but I have not had any experience with that one. As for the Morphine regimen the Morphine ER is given to give you a baseline level of narcotic and the IM Morphine is used to control breakthrough pain Without the ER form you would need much more IM Morphine to achieve pain control. Also the ER form will help limit the tolerance issues that will arise from repeated narcotic use. As the ER Morphine keeps the level more consistent which eliminates or reduces any possible rush effects from a larger dose of IM form of Morphine, thus this action helps keep you from needing repeated higher dosing.

As far as cost goes the IM form of Morphine is the most affordable. However the controled ER forms of both Morphine and Oxycodone are much more expensive. The OXY's are the most expensive, but are more abused than ER Morphine and you may have trouble getting the OXY's. If you do get them dont tell others, as you can get your house robbed for them!!!

Respitory depression is a serious side effect from any narcotic and this MUST be directed to the DR!! Be careful !!

Hope this helps u out??

Morphine ER, the generic for MS Contin is a time released medication. It releases the narcotic slowly, over a period of 12 hours.

I'am on oxy. 80mg. 2xa day.and Methadone 10mg. , 4xa day. This combo works very well, I was on 100mg. of morphine ER, 2xa day .It made me feel weird and hard to pee, also it really didn't help w/pain relief, I need.The Dr. switched me to oxycondone 80mg. 2xa day, guess what , It cost me 4.00 w/medicare, now that is gone because the pharmacy will switch it to OXYCOTIN and call it the brand. guess what , now that cost me 75.00 w/medicare and the best part is in 2009 it oxycotin won't be accepted. on most ins. plans. up our USA ass.. Obama are you listening?

Does the community know that anyone who took MS cotin last year 2008 , you might have a class action suit against the MFG>? The 30 s and 15s mgs. were mention, talk to an attorny if you had a problem! YOU Might check that out, You,ll see I'am on the level.

mike, same thing happened to my wife. The exchange is 60 mil. morphine for every 20 mil of methadone so you should be on 120mil of morphine 4x per day

THE AVINZA brand nam e of morphine sulfate lasts 24 hours, the MS-contin last 12, the morphine sulfate er generic last 12 an are just as good as avinza, the weird feeling you re getting may be the methadone conteracting the morphine sulfate, sounds like the Dr is trying to give you pain releif without risk of addiction
