User Reviews for MS Contin oral

If I miss a dose my pain is hard to get back under control. I also use Ms IR contin for breakthrough. I would like to be off these drugs but would be in worse shape.

Overall, I am ok with taking this medication. I have to also take norco for the breakthru pain.

I have been on this med for many years and it is still working a little.

am just starting treatment

I have Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, Arachnoiditis, Cauda Equina with clumping of the nerve roots, 7 failed back syndrome, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, opiate tolerant, tried every possible opiate, all dr's agree the amount of morphine I'm on is why I'm no longer bed ridden. Insurance won't cover the entire amount my dr. has prescribed. What should I do

I have OA and my Doctor put me on this medication 1 (one) month ago and it has really helped me with my pain . I have tried other pain meds and this is the one that has helped me with all the pain I have in my back and knees .. Thank goodness this medicine was avalable for me to take ..

i am currently on 3 100 mg morphine everyday for over a year. i fell 25 feet and landed on my feet. after 8 operations my right ankle is missing fibula at the foot. i have been on morphine and oxycodone for about two years. i am addicted. i feel like my pain exceeds my dose but my dose puts me to sleep. i am looking for a pill that can combat my bone's pain and not put a ton of weight on me and not give me such somnolence.

ok

I was put on this after taking oxycodone for years. The oxycodone worlked better, I think. I have two failed back surgeries and a mesh misplacement.

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. 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. Read More Read Less

IVE TAKEN 90mg 3xday FOR THE LAST 8 YEARS, IT CONTROLS MY SEVERE BACK PAIN, DUE TO 2 FAILED BACK SURGERIES ONE BEING A FUSION, THE FUSION PUT ME DOWN AND MY MEDS LET ME ENJOY MY LIFE 100 PERCENT BETTER. I DO NOT ABUSE THEM !!! I TAKE THE WAY THEY ARE PRESCRIBED.

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.Read More Read Less

easy on the stomach

I have widespread chronic pain from several conditions and injuries that are permanent, I don't feel any type of side effects and seems like it does nothing but if I skip a dose I can really feel just how effective it is.It does help but unfortunately because of my severe non-stop pain and misery I do have to take other medications too.But let me stress again when it is not taken exactly as directed (every ?? so many hours)it makes a big difference as to how effective it can be.

I have been taking 60 milligrams every 12 hrs for over two years and over the coarse of time it has seemed to lose its effectivness , is this normal???In the beggining this drug worked well at controlling my chronic back pain but over the coarse of years it has seemed to wane in its effectivness

i took the extended relese ms.contin and it worked well for me. i had a good 4-6 hrs of pain relef. overall it works pretty good.
