What Are The Side Effects Of Morphine Pill

Started morphine pills for back pain 30 mg I took it at 9 p.m. It didn't kick in until 12:15...3 hours for reaction? As well, really strong as far as that feeling of "tightness" throughout neck arms etc. Instead of pain relief & anility to sleep, I feel the need to stay awake and monitor breathing. In the hospital this RX would work much faster and stiffness was less ability to slep was fine. Is it the form (pill v.s. IV)??? Thanks side effect feels worse than pain go figure any suggestions on pain med for pm that does not do this? ## Hello, Lola! How are you? Morphine can cause joint pain and stiffness in some people that take it, so the form it's given in may not be relevant, you may have just hit the point where this side effect has kicked in for you.

Does this medicine cause constipation / piles?? Taking these tablets from 7-8 days and now I have constipation. Is it due to the side effect of this medicine? ## sili - I assume you are referring to the drug Morphine, which is an opiate pain reliever. If I am correct, then yes, constipation is a side effect of this and other drugs in the opioid class. " Common side effects include drowsiness, vomiting, and constipation... Side-effects of nausea and constipation are rarely severe enough to warrant stopping treatment... Like loperamide and other opioids, morphine acts on the myenteric plexus in the intestinal tract, reducing gut motility, causing constipation. The gastrointestinal effects of morphine are mediated primarily by µ-opioid receptors in the bowel. By inhibiting gastric...

Has anyone experienced an onset of pain due to administration of intravenous morphiene? This has happened to me both times I was given morphiene in the ER . Slowly my body starts aching from abnomen and moves throughout my entire body. Sensation is like a whole body menstrual cramp. Both times all I got for a response was,"That's weird," from the medical staff. It generally passes after 90 seconds and then the meds take effect but don't wear off for 12 hours rather than the four hours they had suggested. Anyone else ever experience this? Is it dangerous? I have to have major surgery soon and am afraid of the reaction. ## Hello, Angie! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem you've had. I'd suggest just talking to them prior to the surgery and see if they can...

I am having trouble with my vision, I just increased from 1800 mgs a day to 2400 mgs per day ## That is quite a high dosage to be taking and, the more you take of any medication, the more side effects you will experience, even if it is split into several even doses over the day. Learn more Morphine details here. Since this a narcotic, it has been known to cause vision issues in some people that take it, though the severity usually tapers off as your body adjusts to the new dosage. Have you talked to your doctor about it? How severe is it? Is it just blurry vision, or something else?

My husband is 71 years old, and has suffered from chronic pain for 11 years. What are the long term effects of taking morphine? ## Hello, Charlie! How are you and your husband? Morphine is a narcotic opiate, so long-term use can lead to physical dependence and if he suddenly stopped it he may experience withdrawal symptoms, which according to the FDA may include restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea, vomiting and cold flashes. Is she showing any unusual side effects?

I have taken 8 mg of suboxone for the past 2 days, the last time being last night around 8pm. I just received a prescription for 60 mg morphine for a back procedure and am hoping to be able to take it by tomorrow night. The doctor told me since I only took it for a few days that's all I should have to wait (although I sure felt the shot they gave me!) Does anyone have any experience with this or answers that may help? ## Hello, Lolly! How are you? It usually takes about 72 hours, before other opiates will work, though it could be different for you, since you felt the shot without any issues. If your doctor doesn't feel you need to wait longer, then it is always best to follow their advice. It isn't harmful to try taking another opiate sooner, the Suboxone just prevents them ...

After an ectopic pregnancy which burst which led me to almost bleed to death, my Dr. told me that I had a deathly reaction to Morphine and that I needed to wear a bracelet that says I am allergic to it. I don't know what kind of reaction I had, as I was in very bad condition and in the hospital for quite a long time. What kind of reaction could morphine have caused, and are there other medicines that I should be cautious of? ## If it was that severe, it was most likely an allergic reaction that led to anaphylactic shock, but you'd need to check with the hospital to be sure. However, that's usually the worst type and the one they want you to wear a bracelet to warn about, because it could be fatal and subsequent exposures to the allergen tend to worsen each reaction. Yes, the...

Is this pill stronger or weaker than hydrocodone/apap 10/325? ## The 30mg Morphine tablet is actually stronger, these 2 medications are equivalent. This is 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. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Morphine is stronger. If you research you will find it is 1 molecule away from heroin. Heroin breaks down to morphine after several hours.

Hello~ I’ve been taking 5/325% for severe back pain due to an injury since 2012. I had surgery in 2014. I’m still experiencing severe pain and have been taking the Percocet since.

I realize that everybody and every body is different, but I would love to hear others’ experiences to help me decide whether I will continue takin...
