How long does Morphine stay in your system?

How can ANYONE say you can't run out of your Med's early? How the hell do you know & truth be known your probably not even on any Pain Med's so how would you know? Well depending on your pain level & I know @ times you may have to take one here or there in between your normal doses, I have Lupus & it's a very painful disease!! And @ times I have to also take one here or there, NOT in an OVERDOSING way!!! Wish you all the best but this post is to the idiot that is saying there's no way you can run out early... How would they know?! I understand because I've done the same thing : ) Take care & God Bless!!!

Honestly I do not understand how anyone runs out of their medication early if they are communicating with their doctor properly. The only way you run out early is by taking more than you are suppose to each month or selling your meds. I have been on Methadone for "Pain Management"... Not to get off of any "Street Drugs". I NEVER ran out! As a matter of fact, I don't run out of any of my meds... I usually will have some left over. And, Yes I am on "Pain Management" now with a different medication. I am a suffer of Fibromyalgia, Spinal Arthritis, Migraines, Osteoarthristis, IBS w/Adhesions, Complications from post opt Gallbladder Surgery, Etc... The list goes on & on! I KNOW PAIN AND IT KNOWS ME!!! You HAVE to have communication with your doctor if you are running out of medication too soon!

No way, i only weigh 130pounds and i am very small, i done morphine 8 days ago and came up positive today. And i attempted to cleanse myself with allot of water and various BS remedies. you never really know, everyone's body is different. Although i strongly believe that morphine lasts longer in your body then many semi-synthetic/synthetic opiates. Because i passed a test 2 days after ingesting 80mg of oxycodone. But in 2 weeks its almost positive that your moms clean. But if she is off the drugs and on Methadone i wouldn't recommend taking morphine.

Anyone can run out of medication early. Sometimes a doctor will tell you to take pain meds as needed. Or one to two at a time every 6-8 hours depending upon what you are taking. It all depends on the person. I know. I am an insomniac who is on Trazodone. They gave me 30 pills of which I was to take one or two every night. (says so on the bottle) This med was supposed to last me a month. It didn't because was taking 2 a night to sleep. So it is entirely feasible for someone to run out of meds early. :)

I have always thought it was the Pharmacy that determined when you were eligible for a refill, if you have them. For instance, you said you were prescribed 30 tabs with directions to take 1-2 tabs at bedtime. Just because its only written for 30 tabs, since your orders were for up to 2 tabs, then u should be eligible for a refill (if one is available without prior consult with your physician) after only 15 days. Unless of course, it was otherwise specified by the provider who issued your Rx that you were permitted refills ONLY every 30 days... OR if you have to deal with one of the many ridiculous health insurance companies who will only fork out their coverage costs once per month/per med, regardless of how the dosage instructions are written.
Anyhow, that's just how it's always been for me anytime I've had scripts for the whole (i.e.) 1-2 tabs every 4-6 hours as needed or what not... thought I would share and possibly help out some.

Just to let you know wikipedia is a bad reference site as it can be edited by anyone including you or myself it isn't allowed to be used as areference in any college paper or any rsearch documents so instead of looking up the answer as I do appreciate you trying the source that you qouted is not a viable information site. I am writing you so that you are aware of the issues with wikipedia so that you don't get yourself in trouble one day.

Does extended release morphine pills stay in your system longer that other morphine??

methadone is a terrible drug and if your mom is running out then she is not taking it way the doctor wants her to and you can overdose on methadone easier than heroin or pain medications so I hope is stops over taking her medications!

I had oral surgery April 22 and i had 3 of my wisdom teeth extracted. Today, April 26 i took a drug test for a job. and i was cleared from all drugs except Morphine. so im thinking Morphine was one of the drugs administered to me during my surgery. Today is Day 5 for me since the surgery.

PEOPLE, PEOPLE!!!
JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!
take your own inventory!!!
(If your mind isn't open , then keep your mouth shut too!)

Answer questions without passing judgment even if it is light weight under the table. If you can't do that then don't comment at all. People make mistakes and it takes a lot to even pit yourself out there and ask the question. However, if more people start passing judgment then the questions will stop and so will the sharing of knowledge. Knowledge is power and the more we have it the better for our society. Please, everyone just answer questions without passing judgment.

thank you Dr. Rightious
