Jeffster,
Am I correct in assuming that you were taking 8 hydro a day for year, and the dr. abruptly discontinued this and started you on the morphine and roxicodone?? I am not a dr. but it seems to me that if someone is going to change pain regimens, it should be done gradually. I do agree that nausea is a common side effect of morphine. Perhaps if you took it easy for a week to let your body adjust to the change, it would help?? You were used to the hydro and were able to do your "normal routine", if that makes sense. I would think, even tho the morphine is much stronger, that you would still experience some w/d's from the hydro.(?) Like the headaches?? Heck, it might even have something to do with the sudden absence of the tylenol.?

I am in no way saying that the way your doctor treated you was right. I have experienced so many condescending, patronizing doctors I could scream. It is so exasperating when they treat you like a 5 year old and won't listen when you try to explain that you have been in pain for years and know your own body...They have all the answers. I had this problem with my rheumatologist at first. It has taken awhile but she has finally started to listen to me, and treat me like I have an IQ above 70.LOL

Sooo, my advice is to talk to this guy. Just say, "hey, I need to speak with you, and I need you to listen..." then lay it all down. Ask him "why??(the change and then the refusal to resume the hydro)"--you have a right to know, it's your body. And basically, HE is YOUR employee. If you cannot reason with the man, dump him. But do try because, as others have pointed out, there aren't many docs out there who would even consider prescribing those types of medications, unless they knew for a fact that you were going to die tomorrow. Just my little opinion and advice.

Hope you find a solution soon and you have friends here if you need to vent or whatever.
