Kadian and zofram

[Guest guest]

Hi everybody,

I just saw a PCP today to get another angle on the whole

symptomatic pancreas divisum thing and she prescribed me

kadian for the pain and zofram for the nausea.

I investigated the kadian and see that it is a very long lasting

morphine. I am to take that once a day and continue taking the

oxycodone for break through pain - And to start a pain diary to

see if this is helping at all. Now my question to you guys is: is

this going to be a bigger hit on my system then the oxycodone as

far as the side effects? (the loopiness and stuff? ) I am going to

test it this weekend while I am at home, so no harm can come

about in case it makes me do stupid things, and I am hoping

that the bad side effects will be tolerated by Monday. But if there

are any words of advice or caution that I should know about?

I am excited to be trying something new! I am going to convince

myself that both of these meds together will suppress all of the

nastiness associated with pancreatitis - that way I will give the

placebo a chance to kick in too. However, I want to be aware of

any pitfalls that I may encounter too.

Thanks everyone! Hope you all have a great weekend.
