Zomorph

Hi I'm new to the site but I thought I would ask a question I've been on Zomorph 10 mg twice a day for 5 weeks I've had to come off them haven't taken one since Wednesday can anyone tell me what to accept my doctor has taken me off them I felt terrible taking them. Thanks

Do you mean what to expect with possible withdrawal ?? If you havent taken any since wednesday, then you have probably escaped any withdrawal symptoms. Its a relatively low dose and you haven't been on it for long, so any withdrawal issues would probably have been relatively mild anyway.

If you are asking what to expect pain-wise, then it will be whatever the reason you were put on them in the first place will probably return, unless it was only to be used for the short-term - maybe after surgery or similar

Hi jaffa7

Thanks for replying yes it was a question about withdrawal symptoms sorry I didn't make myself very clear. I felt very low yesterday and no sleep last night and felt very sick this morning but that's past. My doctor gave me temgesic tablets I've had them before but they were only taking a little of the pain of so she decided to give me Zomorph. I've been horrible on them I couldn't cope with them.

Hi, just thought you might like to know that Zomorph and Temgesic are both part of the opiate family and are therefore addictive if used over certain time, varying from one person to another I would say after using them for at the very least 1 month on a daily basis. Withdrawals won't be obvious until you've been without for approx 48 hours. Withdrawal symptoms can be nausea, tummy cramps, diarrhoea, restless legs and quite often arms, sleeplessness and so on. It's best to take opiates only when you really need them, 3 days on them, 2 or 3 days with an alternative pain killer like tramadol, this is a synthetic opiate that works on the pain like opioids, however, tramadol are not addictive. I wish you well and hope you find some relief from your pain. Best wishes

Hi I may be wrong but my doctor said tramadol are addictive.

Tramadol are insanely addictive was on them for about 5 years before had to switch to zomorph and even with the switch i still had withdrawals
