What Pain Meds Don't Contain Morphine

Updated

I had a HORRIBLE reaction to percocet. Vommiting, rash, itching. It made me feel so awful. I felt horribly sick! I even tried taking it with benadryl like the doctor said. No difference at all. Does anybody know of any pain meds that don't contain Morphine? I had been taking the max dose of 2 10mg lortab every 4hrs and it gave me little or no pain relief at all, wich was the reason for switching me to 1 10/325mg percocet every 4hrs. I have arthritis in my lower back and my L3&L4 discs are buldging & my L5 discs is completly blown. From this it affects my ciatic nerve causing drop foot and severe pain in my left foot & leg. I go to the neurosurgeon on May 31st. Tommorow I go to doctor to discuss the reaction to percocet and what we are going to do for my pain. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Well, actually the Percocet doesn't contain Morphine, it contains the active ingredients Oxycodone and Acetaminophen. And some people do have bad reactions to the narcotic Oxycodone.

Morphine is a different narcotic, but if you had a bad reaction to Oxycodone, there is no way of knowing how you will react to any of the others.

Another one that is on the market that is very potent and effective at treating pain is Opana, it contains the active ingredient Oxymorphone.

There is also Dilaudid, which contains Hydromorphone.

They are all narcotics, so the side effects are similar and may include: nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and constipation.

Are there any other questions?

I'm a chronic pain patient of 25 yrs. I've found that narcotics are the only pain meds that work for my Fibro. I have allergies to all other meds that are used for this condition, so am very limited in what I CAN use. My Internal Medicine doctor doesn't feel comfortable rxing pain meds for me. Most physicians don't want to 'get involved' with my treatment because narcotics are not the drug of choice for this condition. I always have to 'prove' to them, by allowing them to rx the usual Fibro meds and going thro all the misery of 'trying' them again before they might even 'consider' rxing a narcotic for my pain. I have had terrible reactions to many of the Fibro meds. I'm made to feel like a 'drug seeker', when in fact I am not! One pain med doctor told me to 'take' the med he'd prescribed and if I had a problem to go to E.R. !!! (I decided he was in the wrong field). After these kinds of episodes, I lose hope and can't bring myself to get serious about finding a pain med physician who really CARES about his patients. So, I stop searching and suffer in silence until I can no longer do so, before starting to search again.This is where I find myself now. Soon I will be having surgery and I know I'll be prescribed pain med for the aftercare, which I know will be necessary. However, for me, as a patient already in pain, I realize I will face a special challenge. I KNOW I will recover quicker by using pain relievers. But I also suspect I will be, for all intents and purposes, back to 'using' these meds for months afterward, and possibly having to detox when I'm discharged from my surgeon's care. All self helps have not served me well at all, and I'm fresh out of energy and ideas to start another 'pain doctor search'. Any thoughts on this subject?
