anyone taking oramorph ?: hi ive just... - Fibromyalgia Acti...
anyone taking oramorph ?
Hi joed, I've been taking oramorph on and off now for about eight years. Initially for break through pain , but then I fractured my spine and was advised to use it then. I suffer with bad back spasms and I use a combination of oramorph and diazepam when this happens.
You say you've been out on oramorph, is that as a regular medication or for breakthrough pain? I would warn that there can be side effects such as being very dopey (but then I am normally, so maybe it's just me ) I also find that if I take more than 5ml I itch like crazy and have to take an antihistamine .
If you would like to PM me to discuss this a bit more, please do. It would help to what other meds you are on and why your GP has chosen to prescribe this for you.
Sending positive healing vibes your way

I have been on oramorph for the last 2 years I am now on 3x5mls a day touch wood have not experienced to many problems maybe a bit of trouble with water works but would rather take it than not has it does seem to keep the pain at a liveable level with the help of Zapain and Gabapentine hope this helps a bit xx
Hi joed
I sincerely hope that you are feeling as well as you possibly can be today? I have never had this medication, but I just want to wish you all the best of luck with trying it, and I hope that it works really well for you.
Take care

Hi Joed I've been put on Oramorph don't know how to spell it xx I've on been on it about 6mths I take it when my pain levels are high x I also take it when I go bed because it makes me sleepy at the moment I'm trying to cope without it but I have days where I do need it xx pm if u would like a friend to chat to xx take care and here's some gentle (((hugs))) xx
I take oramorph , I take between 20-50ml a day , I didn't realise , but after reading fibrofoggiest , my itching could be a result of oramorph , but it does ease the pain , so that cant be a bad thing , I now use it in larger quantities when the pain gets bad , but try and when im pain free I tend not to use it , im using the 500ml bottles , but I use this in conjunction with zomorph , which is 5ml capsules , but I do hope joed that you find the pain reduces .
Hello Joanne
