I had a hysterectomy due to endometriosis and adhesions. This was after 6 laparascopies.
I take 145mg of MS Contin (Time released Morphine) 3x a day, and Loritab (like Vicodin) 10 mg as needed for breakthrough pain.
My tolerance for narcotics is high, as you can see. The Meds I took before this were: Percocet, Vicodin, Oxycontin, and Duragesic (Fentanyl) patch.
These were prescribed in various dosages and strengths until I got to the MSContin. I had problems adjusting to the other meds, nausea, side effects etc.
Good Luck, Tracy
