I have been given morphine by one doctor, i rang for advise from another , he said take what you like.?

Doc said i can monitor my own pain management but im worried incase i overdose on the morphine patches (25 mcg) and oramorph . Doc was very unhelpful. Ive had morphine patches on for 2 days and taking 10 ml oramorph every 4 hours but im sleeping but still got some neck/shoulder pain.I have been given morphine by one doctor, i rang for advise from another , he said take what you like.?
I'm not a doctor, first off. You're not taking that much morphine. Call your doctor or go back in and talk to him. You can also talk to your pharmacist, where you got the prescriptions.





You don't say how long you'll be on this, but if it's for short term usage, you may or may not have to taper off of it when you stop using it.





Morphine isn't dangerous when used as directed for pain. I'm betting your doctor knows exactly what they're doing. If you're unsure, get a second opinion. The morphine might be making you sleepy.

I am not sure what kind of answer you are looking for. if you are uncomfortable using the pain patch and taking the medication, let your Dr know. Ask for milder pain medication, it is not uncommon in pain management to use pain patches and oral medications for breakthrough pain, but if you feel it is to much or unmanageable for you, don't take the oral medication or ask for a different, milder treatment plan
25 mcg of morphine is not enough to overdose. Burn and crash patience use constant morphine while rehabilitating. So use it as need it.


Plus, remember that your doctor must report all morphine prescriptions to the D.E.A. in case you decide to sell them.
If you don't feel that this doctor is helping you, see another doctor. I can understand your concern, because morphine and other pain killers can be addictive.
second opinion. Morphine is great, but man its too easy to fall in love with
