Side Effects for Duramorph pf (morphine sulfate)
I am dealing with extreme lower back pain due to arthritis of the lumbar spine and cervical spine, i also deal with fibromyalgia and plantar fascitis. From a pain level 1 to 10 i only get some relief with meds the morphine in combination with norco 4x a day and lyrica twice a day and amitriptyline once at bed time i only experience a pain at a level 6 and 7. I didnt take them one morning and i couldnt move i was in so much pain i was crying and all due to miscommunication. Finally took the meds and after and hour i was able to get up and get ready for work. I have pain, numbness, tingling, swealling, and very minimal pain relief. Today i was asleep most of the day and woke up by the pain i was feeling and an extreme hot feeling in my back, i also experience several bowel movements in a matter of minutes and sudden hot flashes and chills accompanied with cold sweats went to work but unable to perform i went home only to realized i might have been experiencing some type of withdrawal since it was 4pm and id yet not taken a single dose of any of my meds and still wonder if that was possible from missing a dosage and why didnt i experience pain other than flu like symptoms. I dont know... I have lots of questions, im writing them down for my doc visit on the 15th
DURAMORPH PF (MORPHINE SULFATE): This medication is used to help relieve severe ongoing pain (such as due to cancer). Morphine belongs to a class of drugs known as opioid (narcotic) analgesics. It works in the brain to change how your body feels and responds to pain. The higher strengths of this drug (100 milligrams or more per tablet) should be used only if you have been regularly taking moderate to large amounts of opioid pain medications. These strengths may cause overdose (even death) if taken by a person who has not been regularly taking opioids. Do not use the extended-release form of morphine to relieve pain that is mild or that will go away in a few days. This medication is not for occasional ("as needed") use.

Nausea, bloating, gas, smelly poo (until I read that others were experiencing this I thought it was something I ate, but it's obviously the medication)

This is a very effective sleeping pill, I have been taking it for several months after seeing my doctor about depression and middle-of-the-night insomnia. When I first started taking Ambien, I would go right to sleep, no problems. However, last night I took it very early, about 4 or 5 in the afternoon because I had a cold and wanted to get some extra sleep so I would feel better for work the next day. I woke up this morning thinking that I had slept from about 5pm the day before to about 8am this morning. After I talked to my mom, I realized that wasn't the case. According to her, I had a bowl of soup, and also some other food after that. I had a conversation with my family, but I can tell you nothing about it. At some point I took a shower and washed my hair, but this morning my hair had dried and I could not remember if I had washed it or not. I woke up in clothes that I don't remember changing into, and I also found something on one of my pillows and on some of my clothes that I could not identify (I later figured out it was the soup that I don't remember eating.) None of the stuff that I did bothers me; what bothers me is that I don't remember doing ANY of it. I tried my best this morning to rack my brain and remember eating, and I just can't. I woke up this morning thinking that I hadn't eaten anything last night, and that I had been asleep for a very long time, which just wasn't the case. It is scary to think that if someone wasn't watching you, you could probably get out in a car and drive and really hurt yourself or someone else and have absolutely no memory of it the next day. I am not knocking Ambien in any way, I think it is great for insomnia, but it is much more powerful than people think. Just be careful!!! Happy sleeping!
my dosage of synthroid is only .025. It is so small, I feel I don't really need anything. I am in process of weaning myself off, actually, have been weaned off fully for past 12 days and feel fine. Just going to the drs every 3-6 mths is expensive, just to have blood work done and see the dr. I can't afford that several times a yr and I feel it is outrageous that people with thyroid problems HAVE to have it checked every few mths in order to get their prescription of synthroid refilled!! once a yr should be enough to gauge whether it need to be upped or lowered in dosage. After all, we, the patient, should feel whether we need MORE or LESS of the synthroid. We are very intuned with our feelings and what, if anything, has changed.

Taking Omeprazole presription-genaric 'Prilosec', 20mg caps, once a day in morning, half hr b/4 meals. (for 5 yrs. now) Glad I found this site! Was starting to feel desperate, wondering what was wrong, thought all types of things could be going on, from allergies, to just depression, but why I wondered? Never really suspected this drug until I thought to look up side effects since it is only prescription I take, was going to ask doctor but ha! guess that will be useless. Why do they prescribe this crap!? What an eye-opener. Anxiety & depression were getting very bad, headaches too, extreme dry mouth, bad backache... anyway... as of now I will STOP and hope I get better. This stuff sucks. I will look for more natural alternatives if acid reflux continues. T.Y. for all your comments, it sure helped. Thx too for reading my rant, it just is sooooo unfair!! :( G.B in Va.
