[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 324121, member: 84"] Star I've taken those synthetic morphine medications on occassion. I avoid them honestly at all cost if I can. To be bluntly honest, they make you sick as a frimpin' dog. You can't drive on them, heck you've got all you can do to navigate across the room while taking them. Saying you're "out of it" is an understatement. I would imagine the addictive aspect would/will be sky high. But if SO is being treated for chronic pain that they see no future resolution for then they're aren't the least bit worried about that aspect. I was no risk of becoming addicted since I just could not tolerate they horrid way they made me feel. And I'm used to mega doses of morphine (both synthetic and otherwise) via IV. I swear they didn't make me feel as bad as the pill form. And thankfully the doctor had warned me about how it makes people feel so I took it when I knew I had others around me and I was safe. Any opiate pain medication is going to have the side effects of decreased breathing and low blood pressure. Actually, that's not too big a deal as long as he always takes them per order. And I doubt with SO's pain level anything less than an opiate type medication will be enough to keep his pain tolerable. This is from my own experience. I'm not getting pharm until next quarter. So I don't know what new medications are available. But if that is his option, I'm guessing it hasn't changed much. Hugs [/QUOTE]
