Is 30 Mg Of Morphine Er A Low Dose

Updated

I Suffer from chronic pain that's so severe i'm in tears most of the time. My family doctor had me on hydrocodone 10-325 4x daily. After 2 yrs it stopped working now I go to a pain center and have been put on morphine 30 er x 2 daily. This also does not seem to be helping the pain. I was wondering if this is a small dose of morphine.

Thanks.

Hello, David! How are you?

No, that's not really a small dose, though it isn't huge either, it's rather moderate.

The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Have you informed your doctor? You may need a slightly higher dose, or something prescribed to use for breakthrough pain.

Thank you for your reply. It was helpful to me. The next time I go to the pain center I will ask the dr if he can up my dose. The one thing that does give me a little relief is the inj's. in my back. Thank you again.
