Hello,
I have a legit question that I am conflicted about. I was born with an illness called Sickle Cell Anemia and I have been on pain meds my whole life and have a bit of a tolerance.
My doc recently put me on Morphine Extended 30 and Morphine Immediate 15 for breakthrough. I use to be on just Morphine 15 and I would take sometimes up to 5 or 6 of them at one time but usually 4 or 5 after years of being on two and three.
Anyway I ran out because I needed quick relief because the pain is unbearable but now I just got these 3o Extended that dont seem to do much. But I was told but a medical official if I cut it in half it would turn into the Immediate and I can just take both halves. Now I was reading up on this and alot of places say don't do it because you could get the entire dose at once, but my question is if I can already handle up to 90 MG of immediate release by itself with no issues then will cutting two 30's in half in hopes it turn into 60 Immediate Relief harm me?
I'm just cutting it in half and taking both halves. Im not crushing it all the day. I'm only doing oral, no other stuff that's it. I just want to make sure I will be okay.
Also if this is the wrong place to post sorry, im new.
