I too am finding morphine sulphate ER manufactured by Mylan is not as effective. Almost like going through early withdrawal symptoms, for example, morphine usually paralyzes intestinal movement and causes constipation. I am having cramping and looser stools. I question the correct amount contained in the tablets.
Sorry to hear about your recent experiences. Medications can and often do affect everyone differently, whereas some people get great results, but there are others that it inevitably just doesn't work for no matter how much they take. However in the case of this particular drug, it seems the majority of people posting on here don't like Mylan's version of it.
Additionally, generic medications like this are allowed to contain up to 20% more OR LESS of the actual active ingredients.
I think this factor, along with the different set of "inactive" ingredients (binders/fillers) they use, could potentially enable you to have a completely different reaction to each manufacturer's version of Morphine.
I hope this helps explain things! Have you tried asking your doctor for a different brand or manufacturer (i.e Sandoz)?
I also found the Mylan brand was not as effective as other brands I have used for many years. I am on disability due to fibromyalgia and a host of other ailments and have been using MS Contin (morphine sulphate ER) for 12 years. I got up to 120 mg/day, but with the additions of Cymbalta and then Xanax, I was able to cut my daily dose to 45mg. I have been at this level for about 6 years with no problem until I was given the brand made by Mylan. I was actually having mild withdrawal symptoms for several weeks and my pain level increased significantly. I have had trouble finding a pharmacy that did not have the Mylan brand, also. Seems all the big pharmacies (Walmart, Kroger, Walgreens, etc.) are going with Mylan. My guess is it is cheaper. Luckily, I found Sam's Club had a good brand this refill.
