Actually, the SA or SO4 means it's a Sulfate, the actual name of the drug is Morphine Sulfate.

This is a very potent narcotic analgesic.

Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, constipation and dry mouth.

I noticed everytime my husband takes his prescribed morphine 60 mg tabs, (3x's a day) he is not only sleeping and talking crazy but his face breaks out into nasty looking sores/legions that has now spread to his chest and legs. Everytime he goes off the morphine , his face clears and he is back to being a normal functioning human being. I strongly suspect it is the morphine but while I know morphine does cause one to have strange behaviour can it also contribute to other side effects like what happens to my husband's face?
