I have a chronic dislocated shoulder and horrible neck/back pain, so my pain doctor put me on MS Contin and Oxycodone. My body has become dependent on these meds and if I miss a dose, my body goes into a panic attack until I take another narcotic pill.

My body has become dependent on these meds and if I miss a dose, my body goes into a panic attack until I take another narcotic pill. I've tried non-narcotic pain meds, but they are not as effective as narcotic and my dosages have slowly increased over the last five years I've been on these meds. So if you have the option of not taking this, don't. It's easily addictive and your body will need more and more of it over the years.

I have been a chronic pain patient for about 15 yrs. now and my pain gets pretty severe.I used to work and was on my feet 8 hrs. a day until Arachnoiditis of the spine put me on disability for the rest of my life. I was taking 120mgs. of MS Contin twice a day and alot of other meds for my pain. The Morphine was a life saver at first but the more I worked the less effective it became. The two were contradicting one another. The pain in my back, hips,legs and feet were so unbearable I had no other choice but to stop working 7 yrs.ago. So now for the last 5, I have been taking only 60mgs 3x a day along with Norco (5x a day) and am doing yery well on it. Though Im beginning to get a bit immuned to the dose (my Dr. wants to try something stronger for the break through pain med first)I absolutly love my morphine.It most definetly has given me a Quality of Life that I hadn't had for such a long long time and has also made a positve difference in my mental health beause of the pain relief. As far as any side effects, constipation but take a couple of stool softners and your good to go! Morphine may not be the best med for just anyone but for severe chronic pain patients, I highly recommend it.As always take it as prescribed by your Dr. MS Contin is a serious medication, it's nothing to mess around with.
