    I'm not surprised it makes you sleepy, destiny. It's quite a heavy duty med. I've never done any of the morphine-based ones except after an op so can't offer any advice. I hope it works quickly and you can then get off it again. (I've never heard of dicanole.)
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    I agree with Sticky, that is one of the stronger ones and the dopiness is the outcome - you are taken away from the pain rather than vice-versa. Please take care when you are doing things because your attention may not be fully engaged. DD

    Welcome to the dopey med club!! Any drug with morphine in the will make you feel dopey like you have had a few drinks or not enough sleep! Because I'm on a fairly high dose of M.S.T (slow relief morphine ) my brain feels stewed! I'm always forgetting things and feel tired all the time. To be honest with you I'm sort of used to it now!!

    thank you all for replies laughed at the last reply yes i am definatly in the dopey club trying to write this and made lots of mistakes so had to keep retyping dr said when this stops working it will be morphine patches.
    hope everyone all ok if your going through a bad patch at moment like me keep chin up & keep smiling there is always someone worse than us. destiny
