MORPHINE
hi there - my boyfriend is on high dosages of morphine and his behaviour has become somewhat strange. he's become very depressed despite being on anti-depressants as well. he has turned on me, telling me he no longer loves me and wants no contact with me.
is this normal for someone who is on morphine? i have a feeling he has become addicted to it - does this make any sense at all to anyone out there who may have been on morphine?

Are these doses of 100mg morpine control release/ CR/ER or not? I makes a big difference if this med is given in a controlled realease tablet or other.
hi there - not been on here for a while.
ive still not heard from him at all, have done all i can now so feel i just have to sit and wait to see if he ever contacts me.
the last i heard (from his parents) he was on 300mg per day plus 2 liquid files inbetween his morning dose and night dose.
im not able to figure out how he is, they're not telling me much, but it's ripping me apart inside.
ive written to him, send text messages etc but nothing.
i find this forum reassuring in the sense that i kinda figure its not me who caused his breakdown, feel that hes over-reacted to everything that happened to the build up to our break up.
he said he'd been having preminitions about things, said he could see me ending our relationship as he felt that's what i wanted, but it wasnt.
i hope to one day be able to print off all these messages and show him so that he can see how hard ive been trying.
i am now depressed myself which really isnt helping as all this has got too much to bear. not knowing how the health of the person you love is doing is a nightmare and wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy. everyone says im better off without him if hes like this, but you cant help loving someone can you!
any more advice would be helpful.
he started the morphine on 5mg a day in february and then each week his gp seemed to increase the dose.
thanks everybody!

Hi, thanks for getting back to me.
I do believe he is addicted to the morphine - he has been on ever increasing doses since february.
As far as I'm aware he's not used and abused before, but I believe his doctor is at fault also as he has willingly increased his dosage at every request.
I did write him a letter about how much i missed him etc but i got no response to that and then was accused of harrassing him so i am in a no win situation really.
I spoke with his parents yesterday who told me he seemed a little better but it's actually very hard to tell with him at times.
thanks.

You know worried I'm sorry to say but you are decribing a junkie, I use to use Heroin, from what you describe he is in the pit, only difference is it is being prescribed. I have found Morphine to be not a effective for long term pain as one my expect.
He is addicted and to a lg quantity for being prescribed, there is nothing you can do for him, unless he wants your help. I know as a Heroin user it becomes your only passion everything else and I mean everything else takes the backseat.
You might write him a letter expressing your concerns, he has not been on it that long, maybe you can try telling him how different he is.
Has he used in the past? Or abused?
Other then that all you can do is worry and take care of yourself, you might ask if you want to be second to his pain and addiction

he has severe pain throughout his body but mainly his back and legs but the morphine seemed to heighten the symptoms and only slightly take the pain away. we were together 2 and a half years and i was his life really i.e. meant the world to him.
hi thanks for getting back to me - hes on morphine for extreme pain throughout his body but mainly his back and legs - he's on 110mg twice a day with liquid morphine viles in between to keep him going - however, the morphine seemed to make his symptoms worse and he has turned into someone i dont even know - he wont allow me to contact him so i feel useless and obviously very hurt and worried about him.
what kind of pain is he dealing with? You combine the 2..drugs and severe pain..thats a bad combo for a persons mental well being. i would think that it is the drugs and apin talking. had you 2 been together long? Maybe you should let him go and try to figure out some things..i know you want to help him but sometimes you can't do a darn thing until they are ready..and i know you know that..Maybe he doesn't want to drag you down with him..(just thoughts)..
hi - thanks for getting back to me - he started off in february on 5mg twice a day which had no effect and he seemed normal. he is on morphine as he is in considerable pain thoughout his whole body but they cannot find the cause - he had an MRI scan 2 weeks ago and they found nothing. he is now (well was when i last saw him 2 weeks ago) on 110 mg twice a day in tablet form, then taking liquid morphine (viles) in between.
he has lost his job due to poor attendance at work. we had a fantastic relationship but he was sleeping most of the day, awake all night, and became irrational in his thinking and then ended our relationship. i feel useless as there is nothing i can do to help as he wants no contact.
i think his dosages are very high - what do you think?

hi there - thanks for getting back to me.
as i cannot contact him i have no idea about help - we split up 2 weeks ago and he's completely ignored me since apart from a message telling me he no longer loved me and wanted no contact. when i last saw him he was on 110mg twice a day which seems like a huge amount. his pain was getting worse and he could barely walk cos of the shakes and twitch spasms.

Hi friend..I defiantely think that morphine as does other narcotics make you a different person. I am quite sure he ia addicted to it..it doesn't take long. i wish i knew what to say..Does he want help? how are you managing with him using? i know on methadone and the hydros i was moody and irratable and down right irrational especially when i took more in a day than usual.
i was like the devil when I was on it. Cused my whole family out and anyone that would come my way. What is he on it for and how much is he taking?
Hi yes it is normal behavior for Morphine, when you first start it your on top of the world then comes irritation and depression and even nightmares for some.
How much is he on? How long? and dose he want to quit?
