"Very similar to MS Contin before the manufacturer added a second drug-release regulating feature to the matrix. I found that every 12 hours allowed too low a trough in between doses, so my dose was divided into thirds for an every 8-hour schedule. I continued to work throughout the titration and stayed productive for a decade. Now I'm toast. Any steady-state pain strategy will eventually change your body chemistry forever, so it's important to exhaust all short-acting, prn 'as needed' strategies first. Be honest with your doctor, it goes a long way."

"This did not help my chronic pain at all. I had to use a dosage of 30-50 mg of morphine, and it still didn't touch my pain. I got severe constipation and was violently sick."

"I have a 2-column L2 fracture of the spine, and I have a spinal brace on. The pain is really severe, and the doctor gave me Oramorph 20 mg every 2 hours, and apart from being light-headed and a little bit spaced out, I am free of pain for the first time in 3 weeks. Off for MRI as the fracture has collapsed more."
