After being on methadone for 17 years, my dr. is switching me over to TR Morphine for my chronic pain. I am hopeful that it will be better in controlling my pain. Can anyone tell me more about it? Thanks!

I wonder if the TR stands for Time Release??

Morphine info-
halfway down the page is Morphine - many types of it.

He's been on Oxycontin, hydrocodone, Kadian, Percocet, Fentayl patch, and Ultram in the past and nothing worked as well. He takes 700mg a day. 200mg in the am, 300mg in the afternoon (he works a very labor intense job) and another 200mg at night. along with 6- 30mg Oxycodone for break through pain. He also takes Lamictal, a seizure med for nerve pain that he likes a lot too. Swears it helps a lot. It seems like a lot of med but he's been in pain mgment a LOONNGG time. It goes MUCH higher!! Good luck
