The person taking the morphine becomes very sleepy, slow, looks like there half awake, and doesn't do much besides sleep. It is terrible watching someone get addicted to this drug because it consumes their life. They can become so dependent that they sell or pawn off items that used to be important just to get more morphine. It is very sad to see someone fall into this terrible habit and extremely difficult to get them to stop. It is a drug that can tear apart a family. I would highly recommend avoiding it, even though it does relieve pain, the side effects are far worse, not to mention the effects of withdrawal.
Morphine is the drug of addiction. You can get addicted to this drug with first injection. Other side effects are minor.
You probably meant HYDROMORPHONE, which is a drug very similar to morphine, except it takes less of it to get the same effects as morphine.
The similarity in molecular shape allows morphine to bind to endorphin receptors.
Heroin, oxycontin, and percodan produce effects very similar to morphine. Other opiate painkillers such as percocet and vicodin will produce comparable effects, however they are less intense.
approximately 200mg codeine for similar effects to 30mg oral morphine (not IV!)
Yes i am a Doctor at the St.Cloud hospital and i have been studying the effects of this. The morphine would stimulize the stomach and hurt the esophogas and bladder
No, methadone will block the euphoric effects of morphine and other opiates.

That's a good question. Morphine is a chemical that when used by a doctor or nurse to treat a patient, is a MEDICINE. If a person uses the chemical morphine illegally, then morphine is a DRUG. Whether morphine is a medicine or a drug depends on a person's point of view and circumstances. All can agree that it is a chemical though.
It is possible to use morphine as a pain killer and also use marijuana as an anti-nausea drug; they are not antagonistic in their effects.
Morphine will provide relief from pain and gives the patient a sense of wellbeing. Opiates in general slow down breathing, heart rate and brain activity and as a result the body's tolerance to pain is increased. Morphine also suppresses the cough reflex which is why it is used to treat severe coughs. Morphine does have side-effects, two of the most common are constipation and nausea and with higher doses of morphine, additional drugs to relieve or prevent these symptoms may be needed.
Nalaxone also known as narcan is a medication which reverses the effects of morphine. it is given in a morphine overdose or and allergicreaction to morphine It is actually given for overdose of SEVERAL drugs not limited to but including....percocet, lortab, fentanyl, any narcotic, hence the name Narcan.
