What is morphine sulfate er 30 mg tablets?

Answer 1

I am a 26 year old female. I have been in pain management for 5 or 6 years and will be for the rest of my life. I try to look at my pain management in the best of lights. I do not abuse pills and never would. I use or utilize pain killers to make my life livable. To make sure that my 1 and 3 year old have clean diapers, clothes, and hair. My life is not easy and I have to look forward to it just getting harder and worsening every year for the rest of it. I took morphine sulfate 60 mg as my extended release pain killer for at least a couple years. Looking back I never thought that the morphine worked very well, because I always had "break through pain". Though I now know that it was doing its job. It was my introduction to extended release tablets in combination with the regular pain killer or the immediate release. The exact combo I was taking was Percocet 10mg and the Morphine Sulfate 60mg. Not having ever tried the extended release on a regular basis before I guess I was expecting the same rapid release euphoria with more intensity because of the larger mg. That's not the case though. The pill is slowly released into your blood stream over an eight to twelve hour period. The morphine works well to control constant and severe pain and the amount of pain I experience on a daily basis would make an average person go insane. I have a type of Arthritis call ankylosing spondylitis and I can't even move for the first 3 hours of everyday. That is not even the tip of the iceberg. So, basically expect good results as a pain killer or narcotic, but dont expect a real good high or euphoric experience with this pain killer. If you are more on the cautionary side of narcotics, this medication is the perfect start for you or one step down at 30mg.

Answer 2

30mg morphine sulfate tablets are a time release medication. It is obviously a pain relief pill. It is generally coated purple. The time frame is generally 12-8 hours depending for rx

it is not advisable to chew/crush/snort or in any way tamper with the coating. Taking it properly can help with chronic pain for a long term relief, instead of the 4 hour up and down. The drawback is that it can take hours to feel relief. I must take reg pain meds waiting it out each morning. This is a serious medication, dependence can turn into a full blown addiction if taken incorrectly. If taken correctly, as written by your Doctor, it will provide 24 hour pain relief. My prescription is written to take every 8 hours. That covers the 24 hour time period. With that being said, I don't understand the comment about "having to waiting hours to feel relief", unless it's not being taken properly. Although my pain is not totally gone, it does help. If you are still in pain ask your Doctor for another pain medication to go along with it like I did. He agreed and is a Pain Management Doctor.
