REALLY struggling to cope with my increasingly severe chronic pain on the meagre doses of opioids I'm prescribed (codeine 240mg/day and morphine 20mg/day) and doctors apparently have decided they will no longer be increasing - EVER - opioid dosages for chronic pain* patients. I've been on the same doses for around 2.5 years and due to my tolerance obviously having adapted over that long of a time, plus my conditions being degenerative, the pain itself being worse, I am seriously struggling to cope.
I've been peeling the film coating off of my morphine pills, crushing the pills into a fine powder, and dissolving them in coffee (hot water helps them dissolve fast and thoroughly and drugs are absorbed much more rapidly in a liquid solution, plus caffeine increases absorption speed so it hits harder and faster (esp. on an empty stomach.
I've also been crushing up 4 or 5 codeine phosphate 30's (just codeine, no acetaminophen) in ~ .5ml water and taking it rectally with an oral syringe (the pain can be so bad I need FAST relief and rectal codeine reaches peak plasma levels in approx. 6 minutes vs 60 minutes orally).
Can anyone PLEASE help me increase the strength/effectiveness f the morphine or make a higher proportion of the codeine metabolize into morphine?
P.S. This is NOT a "tIpZ n TrIkz 2 GeT hIgHeR pLz!!11" post, I desperately need help with PAIN.
*Or, indeed, prescribing opioids for chronic pain at all for new patients, so I'm lucky I got prescribed what I did before that startede, at least.
