Hello! I just wanted to add my 2 cents to this thread.
I have been a chronic pain patient for the past four and a half years. I have tried a billion different meds. The doc just put me on Embeda 20 mg once a day alongside my usual 10 mg Percocets 3x a day. Morphine tends to be VERY weak for me so I usually have to insufflate it or chew it up for it to work for my pain, hence how I found this thread. I know the bioavailability for insufflation of morphine is crap but it works better than orally for me, for whatever reason. Shrug.
Anywho, I decided to try just opening the capsule and swallowing the beads before trying anything fancy and, I gotta tell you, it worked wonders. I woke up today at 11 AM, with my pain level at a 1, for the first time in 5 years and I hadn't taken an Embeda since 2 AM.
So, just saying to try swallowing the pellets before trying the other complicated methods in this post. I got a decent buzz and awesome pain relief. I don't have a very high tolerance for pain meds yet though, so keep that in mind.
I was scared to try these since I read all those warnings about the possible severe withdrawals but, I am loving this Embeda so far, at least in terms of around-the-clock pain control.
