just an introduction

So what happened with the morphiene/xanax story? was that a true story or fiction? If true how did it turn out? I am naive but I thought morphiene only came in liquid form atleast that is all Ive ever seen with oncology patients, dilauted too for kids.

well welcome aboard man.

Liquid morphine is rarely if ever prescribed outside of a hospital setting. Morphine pills (MS-Contin) are around, but not that often, as it sucks as an analgesic unless injected. Oh, and hydromorphone (dilaudid) is significantly stronger than morphine, so probably shouldn't be prescribed to kids.

I have intimate knowledge of the oncology world especially dealing with pediatracs & know for a fact that both of those liquid meds are common as needed meds above the fridge of any cancer patient. I have just never heard of morphiene pills, not that I didnt belive they existed just I had never heard/seen them. They are uncommon opposed to the usual oxycontin,percocet,morphiene & dilauded prescribed for pain. I will read more about the story.

Thanx
