Default Am I just strange?

My doctor recently switched me from Oxycontin to Morphine. The Morphine does indeed eliminate my pain just as well as the Oxy, but compared to both Hydro or Oxy I don't like the feeling it gives me at all. I've always heard Morphine is even more addictive, but I don't find it to be even slightly addictive. It's a tough sensation to put in words... it doesn't cause any sort of pain, it just makes me feel very uncomfortable.

Should I just ask him to put me back on the Oxy? It is nice to be on something that I don't feel addicted to at all, but if it makes me feel like ******** in the process it's kind of pointless I think. Even though I do find the Oxy a little addictive, I've always been able to control myself.

If you don't react well to any medication you should tell the prescribing physician immediately. It may take a while, he may choose another option. Good luck and God bless.
