I am on 60mg of ms contin er 3x a day along with break through of morphine ir 10 mg 4x a day I am going into my 9th year of using these drugs the doctor wants to increase the er dosage to 4x a day and decrease the ir to 2 a day I am tolerating all of this but have had to take myself off of driving I just am concerned that w/this much in my system that I most definitely should not be driving, I am noticing some short term memory lapses which is very annoying, of course constipation that's a given......anyway back in the beginning I was on lortab 10 every 4 hours that's when the pain was really worse (9 yrs ago) yes I had pain still but the reason for all of these drugs I thought was to ease the pain not to make it disappear I'm just concerned that I'm on too much and wondering if there is any chance of going back on just a break through and taking it only when needed instead of being on this regiment of popping pills every so many hours? What do you think? I am 76 years old!
Never mind I have no money I live on my ss!
