Hi ~ 30mg. is a very LOW dose, and for me, it wouldn't be any better than taking aspirin!!! You need to be on a much higher dosage. I'm not familiar with why you're taking the morphine, but if it's for chronic pain you're certainly going to need more than that. He should up you to a level where you are comfortable, but of course we all know that almost all of us are undermedicated because the doctors are afraid of the DEA. sheeesh.

Anyway, tell your doc it isn't getting it. either UP your dosage, or put you on something that will attack your pain!!! No one should SUFFER! He needs to act like a doctor! God bless. Peace, Lee
