Has anyone been on this pain med before? I was put on morphine sulfate extended release 15 mg twice a day and was just wondering if anyone has taken it before? Thanks.

Well, my 85 y/o mother is on 3x15mg morphine sulfate extended release twice a day.  (She's got spinal stenosis with resulting neuropathic pain in her legs and feet.)  I would pay attention to getting in lotsa fluids, fiber and stool softeners if you're going to stay on that.  Otherwise, you'll be sh*tting rocks, if you manage to sh*t at all!

15mg twice a day of extended release morphine doesn't strike me as a very high oral dose of morphine.  That's roughly equivalent to 10 mg extended release oxycodone (Oxycontin) twice a day (more or less equivalent to one Percocet 5mg every 6 hours), though opiate dosages always need to be individualized.

Yep.  Gonna make you REAL sleepy.
Did you hear GoTo tell you DO NOT DRIVE?

And, you shouldn't hurt.

 So far it hasn't done a damn thing except keep me in pain so we'll see.
