[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 575344, member: 4264"] Ugh, how frustrating. I'm guessing it might well be some billing issue as mentioned. I don't think they have concerns about your usage of it, it is not exactly a "drug" in the worrisome sense, and only has value to someone taking it if they want nausea controlled as you said. My cousin takes morphine daily for severe osteoarthritis. I don't know her dosage, I do know its one of the time released types and that she has some other milder narcotic for breakthrough pain between morphine doses. She takes Gravol that she can buy cheaply over the counter, she actually buys the store brand/generic type. Do you all have that there? It would seem fairly common. It may not have the same strength as what you get prescribed, I don't really know about the ones you mentioned. But she gets considerable help with the nausea by taking them and they are super inexpensive. They might help while you wait out this referral. I do agree it's silly. I also suspect if you call your pain doctor and mention the issue getting it from family doctor, and that it is a direct relation to morphine, they would start giving it as refills with your pain medications. It's pretty common from what little I know, to need something for nausea when on the type of pain medications you need. [/QUOTE]
