Kadian (morphine) : Kadian is probably the strongest narcotic pain reliever I have used, maybe equal to fentanyl. If all else fails this stuff should do the trick.

Kadian (morphine) : I started taking Kadian about a year ago for spinal stenousis. I was taking 30mg once a day. After a fall, they increased it to 2 a day. It works wonderfully for me. If I miss a day (and I do occasionally if I am not hurting) I pay for it the next day. It seems to leave my body fast so I try to take it even if I am feeling no pain now. I take Lortab 7.5 twice a day in between the Kadian but only as needed. I went today for my 2nd epidural. I hope this works.

Kadian (morphine) for Pain: Great Medication. Cancer patient. Have had a lot of pain since surgery. Tried numerous medicines. Kadian 100 mg every twelve hours eliminates the pain which was stopping me from having a normal life.

Kadian (morphine) for Pain: I have been taking Kadian for about two years and it has been the only medicine that can manage my chronic pain. I was also taking several Vicodin daily prior to the use of Kadian. Now I only take a Vicodin once in a while. I also have an implant in my spine for pain control but need Kadian as well. I take 30mg once a day, at night. When I don't take this medicine, I can not walk without a cane, so it also helps my mobility.

Kadian (morphine) for Pain: I have fibromyalgia and this is the only thing that I have found any relief from the pain. I am so glad I found a Doctor who believes in pain management.

Kadian (morphine) for Pain: Great pain medication! My doctor suggested it after taking 8-10 Vicodin 10's per day. I started with 20mg/12 hours, then graduated to 60mgs, after about 8 months. I did not like the "disconnected" feeling assoc. w/Med Increase; at that time, it was a small price to pay for pain relief. I currently take Opana in im and ex., I am having quite favorable results, and when compared to Kadian, they seem quite similar, except Op processes thru Kidney. (good)
