What's up with the pain medication
Chronic Pain | Last Active: 6 hours ago | Replies (85)Comment receiving replies
Have had problems filling MS Contin generic on and off for months. Finally in August totally unable to get. My doctor changed me to Xtampza, which is OK but it is kind of a pain to take as you have to always take it with a "fattty food" for it to absorb correctly. Hope the morphine shortage is fixed soon. Hope everyone doing as well as they can!

Also, I had no idea Xampza had to be eaten with fatty foods. I'm not a fatty food guy. Where is this information posted?
Take care,

The shortage continues here in Texas. The doctor switched my medication from morphine ER 30 twice daily to xampza 18 ER. Although I found it easier to find, it sells for $183.00. The morphine ER worked better as well at $45.00 per month.
I guess its better than going through withdrawals once a month. I am retired on a fixed pension, so the $143.00 dollar differance hurts. I guess now I can have my pain reduced, but I have to eat peanut butter the whole month.
Between Sec. Kennedy's stupidity and our failing health care system, I definitely fear for the future of this country.
