MS Contin 15mg bid
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.
