I have been given Morphine after surgeries and recently in ER for unspecified pain. I warned the ER Dr that it gives me hallucinations, but he went ahead anyway. I find the Morphine minimal in resolving the pain and have to decide to let go of all outcomes and accept that I will not be reliable or functional until the morphine wears off. Then I can just sit back and enjoy the hallucinations like a good movie. My hallucinations last long after the doses are given, up to 3 weeks. Since these were hospital IV administered, I have no idea of the dose. I just know that I do not want to take it long term.

I was sent home from a surgery with morphine & had hallucinations-transparent giant scorpions running up & down the corner of my toom. It was frightening but I kept telling myself it wasn't real. It then changed to a cute furry squirrel inside my roe-sticking his head out of the neckline & looking up at me....
that was enough...now I have it in my chart not to prescribe it again!
