Can someone with a morphine pain pump implant get addicted to the morphine?
Morphine / opiate dependence (not addiction) is a given for anyone who is on long-term opiate therapy, including a morphine pump. Addiction is rare in pain patients, as we have a true medical need for the drug. The real problem with morphine pumps is that problems associated with them, which is the reason I opted for Duragesic instead. Aside from being another surgical procedure, the implants at the spine (where the drug is delivered) don't always successfully bond, and if they come loose, they have to go in and re-attach. There are also a lot of horror stories with patients who have had implants, only to find out that they had no legal recourse with the companies who make them.

How bad are the withdrawal symptoms from a morphine pain pump?
I have a dilaudid pump - not a morphine pump and developed serotonin syndrome from the multiple meds my various doctors put me on without discussing them with each other. They drained my pump over 2 weeks, the last drain being a week ago tomorrow. I am in full withdrawal that the doctors at first dismissed as "flu"... cold sweats, panic attacks, fever, chills, hot flashes, body aches.... the worst ever! I wasn't given anything to counteract the loss of medications because I'd been vomiting everything up for weeks. No one took control of the situation. Make very sure that you are weaned off of your pain pump carefully by someone who realizes you just can't cold turkey off 2 years of pain pump use!I take lorazepam and oxycodone IR by mouth at least 4 times a day but as soon as they wear off it's right back again. I've had to go in for IV fluids to get rehydrated. Pain pump withdrawal can be very dangerous if not done correctly. Be careful!
