Can Treatment With Morphine,Endone And Ocycon Result In Personality Changes?

default
Posted on Fri, 16 May 2014
Question: Can high dose/frequent dose (eg hourly) short term (several weeks) treatment with morphine and endone and ocycon result in personality changes, depression or other effects which may last for weeks or months? My nephew has had quite strong mood swings to the extent of breaking many household items including a computer and still suffers severe depression months later. He is refusing any medical help and stopped taking all medication except Panadol when his pain is marked.
