Question 1

Accepted Answer

Over 120 mg: The maximum daily dose for oramorph is 120 mg. Taking doses greater than 120 mg a day may increase the risk of serious side effects, including bronchospasm and death. Ask your PCP for help and referral to a psychiatrist.

Question 2

i've taken 200mls of oramorph will it damage me?

Accepted Answer

One TIme Overdose: Given that you can write and communicate i would have to say that you are probably going to be fine.  Here on health tap when I am asked this question i always worry deeply that this 'mistake' or over use of a medication is indeed a suicide attempt.  Please write back and tell us you are safe. If you are not safe please realize you do not have to feel this bad.

Question 3

how much oramorph is safe to take in a day ? my dosage is 5ml/10mg.

Accepted Answer

Prescribed dose : Oramorph can be taken by different patients in greatly different doseages. The medication is safe at greatly varying dose but dependent on numerous factors.  If you are asking about safe dose, my presumption is that your doctor has not prescribed a dose more than the 10mg you mentioned.  You really need to explain to your MD that you are not getting pain relief so MD can give you safe/correct dose

Question 4

is tapentadol as strong as oramorph. ( 5ml/10mg ) ?

Accepted Answer

Same receptor: One is a classic opioid (oramorph) another is called an opioid agonist, that works differently than a classic opioid but on the same pain receptor.  I am not a fan of evidence based data, and have learned to rely on my own experience.  I would some people do better with tapentadol (nucynta), some with classic opioid like oramorph.  I would have to say they are potentially as effective as the other

Question 5

what would the long term effects of a oramorph overdose be?

Accepted Answer

Depends on downtime: Oramorph is a form of morphine. It is available in a sustained release formulation. The problems with this drug are the same with other opioids, namely they can stop breathing. If you stop breathing, you can develop brain damage, a stroke, have a heart attack, or die. As long as you survive your ingestion, the outcome will depend on how long you were without oxygen (if at all.) hope you are well!

Question 6

how much oramorph would you need to take to suffer a fatal overdose?

Accepted Answer

No one will: answer that question. If you are feeling suicidal, call 911 or a suicide hotline  or go to an ER ASAP. Things may seem hopeless when you are depressed, but medication and psychotherapy can help turn life around. Please get help and let us know how you are doing.

Question 7
