Morphine 15mg Er & Morphine 15 Mg Ir 4x Daily

Updated

I am going on a trip and would love to enjoy a few drinks with friends. How long does morphine remain in your system and is it safe to have maybe 2 drinks WHILE taking it?

I'm on the same dose of morphine I have to be honest I drink on them all the time I try not to get to drunk when I get to go out and get a few drinks but it will make you black out if you're not careful with your alcohol in take it also has to do with your size and tolerance to both the alcohol and drugs just be safe and tell your friends that you can't drink and definitely don't drive

The problem with combining an opiate with alcohol is that they both cause depression of the central nervous system which results in dizziness, drowsiness, imbalance, lower heart rate, lower breath rate, confusion, and possible loss of consciousness. This is why you are advised not to imbibe, while taking one, these symptoms are risky, and if they become too severe, they could be fatal.

Here's an excellent article that explains why they should not be combined.

Thus, it really is best not to drink while taking opiates, but if you chose to do so, anyway, then please make sure you will not be driving, or operating heavy machinery.

Is there anything else I can help with?
