Please let me how morphine worked for you. Need advice

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!

The only thing that works for me is Percocet. When there was the whole opioid crisis, I had to use the oxycodone plus Tylenol, which is what Percocet is. Nothing else works for pain management for me. They have tried everything on me. When I’m in the hospital, they use the Percocet plus the Demerol for surgery. How might you get it? The word I always use is “suffering“ and I say I am suffering you can’t let me suffer. What are you going to do about it?

@staab4 Hello-in 40 years of being prescribed opiates post surgery-morphine never caused hallucinations.
In fact, from experience, I am guessing your surgeon could very well have included ketamine which is a dissociative anaesthetic and (in my case) while I was in the ICU, caused giant transparent visions of Nazi troops led by an enormous Shoe which tapped its way down the street. This was amusing. However, no morphine was used in my ICU care.
Like other readers here, I prefer oxycodone (which is Percocet without Tylenol.) No hallucinations whatsoever. A time release 12-hour version is called Xtampza. I find this one also has zero side effects.
Good Luck! I would ask your dr if he used ketamine on you.

Post surgery, I was given morphine for pain. They may as well have put me on a saline drip. It did nothing for my pain. I complained and they finally got surgeon to agree to giving me fentanyl. That really worked great but this is a powerful opioid that they are reluctant to prescribe. Too much will kill you.

Not too well.

I'll just pop-in with my small contribution on Morphine. I took oral Morphine for ten years, working with a pain Specialist and rechecking monthly to keep a tight rein on any issues. I never had a problem at all for those years other than it started to get a little problematic as the country decided to crack down on abusers. I spoke at length with my doctor and decided to go on a pain pump, with the same morphine, and have now had it pumping away for two years, and problem free at that. I am an 81 y.o. woman, and have other problems to deal with, but my lower spine is not one of them. Hope you have success in finding relief.

@ichbindck all post surgeries or ER visits I refuse morphine because it just drugs me but no clinical benefits. Every doc gives me delaudid and it works likes a charm. Kills all breakthrough pain, the level 10 pain, lowers my BP which is over 200/100 from pain, all of it.

Do you have a pain pump? Thinking of one

I find these responses fascinating in their variety. I am in the population who cannot take synthetic narcotics and would prefer to writhe in pain than take one. My instructions to surgeons - since post surgical pain is when it would apply - is to give me morphine one night and then I will go without anything - but under no circumstances do I want synthetic narcotics.
