MedHelp Member's Question

morphine

by lori7117, Dec 04, 2007 11:41AM

My doctor started me on morphine a few months ago and now it seems as if I cry at the drop of a hat. I'am prescribed 120 mg of morphine daily 50 mg of valium daily, 150 mg of trazadone daily, and 10 mg of ambien. Do you think the morphine is causing this emotional roller coaster. I never used to cry I held it together extremely well. I have been battleing anorexia, and have been single for about 10 years. I just met this wonderful man, however I'm terrified I will be scaring him away very soon if I can't get a hold of my crying it is ridiculous. Do you think the morphine is causing this?

Thank You
Lori

I thnik it is safe to say that its not the morphine, but given these medications you want to discuss this with your provider. There is a good deal going other given the list and doses of medications mentioned.
