I actually use a nasal solution (made daily). I used to use a nasal spray bottle but it was constantly getting clogged so now I just use a dropper.
Morphine was the first pain med my NYC doctor prescribed me, and because I didn’t want to become physically dependent, I only used it every third day. But after less than three months on it, I developed hyperalgesia, which unfortunately has never gone away. But that’s crazy that morphine has no effect on you! There are a lot of drugs, especially OTC, that have no or very little effect on me - but not any of the opiates. Alprazolam is not remotely sedating & almost gives me a panic attack though. I wonder why morphine is the only strong analgesic on hand in the UK. Is it typical for their only to be one on hand in every country? I have no clue.
No, there is an 'exciting' selection of opioids listed in the BNF. But for various reasons it was concluded thay my options were oxycodone or methadone (tablets).
-Patches won't stick
-Buprenorphine causes severe anxiety and ended up with my suffering a seizure
-Codeine - not strong enough
-DHC - ditto
-Tapentadol not recommended for people with epilepsy
-Hydromorphone is a morphine derivative & doesn't work
There are a few short-acting opioids but above is the list useful for chronic pain.
Funny how we are noting that many older medicines are still better than the new ones. Morphine and diazepam is likely much safer than alprazolam and fentanyl.
