A member asked:
Is morphine 20mg per day okay for breakthrough pain for my chronic pain ! ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Impossible to answer: Chronic narcotic use has enormous risks, especially in a 35 year old. Without detailed knowledge of your history, this question is impossible to answer. From the list of your other medical issues i would urge finding other treatments to address the pain and anxiety/depression besides narcotics.
