Oramorph Removed

Twinkle_Little_Star profile image

Due to the NHS realising the GPs were dishing out opiates without properly monitoring patients.

I have had my oramorph stopped, I now take zomorph that help, Oramorph is taken for immediate release. Getting to the pain enabling people to get a quality of life back without pain.

How do I get this medication prescribed again. I’ve an appointment with the pain clinic. I’m dreading it, will he issue an unrealistic taper program that finishes me off

Hello there I think your fears may be right, I take Tramadol have done for ten years or more now I am back to speaking to a doctor every month to get painkillers for ongoing arthritic pain.These drugs are the ones agreed to by a pain clinic. Have to smile , all these changes cost money. Good luck with getting it sorted OH I even do my own blood pressure.

Wow how did you get Oramorph in the first place? I also have been on Tramadol a long time and found Oramorph was the only thing that worked for me, when they gave it to me in hospital. Good luck 🤞
