Hi Swift2 I use them was on 15mcg two patches after having a good effect from epidural was taken off the 5mcg so now on 10mcg awaiting my next epidural so going to ask to be put back on the 15mcg I find them really good Everybody has different effects with them if you don't mind me asking what is the dose

I was put on them but like most meds did not work for me, I just sat with a bucket by my side as was very sick all day even after having anti sickness pills, but not everyone has the same results they might be alright for you/ Love & Hugs Xx

Morphine can make many really sick 🤢. Though I have had morphine tablets this last week and as yet I have been ok 👌

I take the slow release morphine tablets I find them better than the patches as I know to take one every 12 hours I found that the patches seem to give you too much initially and then you are in pain again when they are rinning out and if you don’t change them in time the pain takes over. I think once your body gets used to it it’s ok. But if you are being sick or anything it may be worth going back to the dr for something else as you may be allergic to morphine which seems quite common there are other patches you can try such as Fentanyl it may have different ingredients I’m not sure but does the same thing. I read an article about pain and a drug was mentioned for people with fibro and it was said it was one that you didn’t need to keep increasing as it wasn’t like other drugs it’s called Pallexia I tried to get it but was told that could only be given by pain clinic then I asked again about 18 months later and the go gave it to me but he didn’t give me slow release and because my body is addicted to morphine it was no use to me as I had to go through withdrawals but I did later find out they do a slow release version of it. I hope you find something that works for you
