Another factor to consider in the IV vs oral morphine problem with me was the amount of pain. The IV morphine was adminsitered for post-op pain (abdominal hysterectomy) and was wholly ineffective at whatever dose they gave me (I MAY be mistaken, but I believe it was somewhere around 20mgs/hour) AND I was concurrently receiving 100mgs/day of methadone for chronic pain at that time. Therefore, it could have been the methadone or the type of pain which made it useless for me as post-op analgesia.

My total daily dose of MSContin when that was my chronic pain drug was anywhere from 300-480mgs. I was also given standard Percocet for BT pain...3-4 tabs a day as needed.

So, it may not be such a weird experience after all?
