Bonnie,
It could be both. I only take 60mg of MS Contin 3 times a day and then I
have the Roxinal (liquid morphine) which I can take every two hours. I do
have times when this doesn't work. You need to get it checked out though
since it is continuing. Where did you find a doctor that would prescribe
that much MS Contin and how do you function? I have an extremely hard time
functioning at times on what I take. My doctor will NOT increase it either.
He is concerned about the level I am already on, but he does understand my
needs.
Please at least call your doctor.
