I had a bad experience with morphine too. 5 years ago I was bucked off a horse (was mine, not anymore though). He bucked like a pro, and I stayed on more than the 8 seconds I’d have needed in a rodeo. I flew pretty well, but landed poorly, breaking 3 ribs, punctured a lung, dislocated a shoulder.

Anyway, I was in the ICU for 3 days. They gave me a morphine drip. The first morning I was looking forward to eating breakfast. After I ate the rather good breakfast, my stomache felt like a volcano about to erupt.

I had 3 broken ribs. Hurling was not an option. I sat so still and concentrated on not hurling.

I didn’t.

However I asked if morphine could cause that reaction and it could.

That’s my morphine story. Never taking that again. I’d rather be in pain. I don’t even think it touched the pain I had anyway.

Morphine, just say “No!”.

Yeah “crushed spinal nerve” here.
I was sooooo hungry and oops.
Nothing touches some pain.
Hope you feel better...but hey it was a great ride. 8 SECONDS REALLY. Great.

I’ll echo what you say about morphine. It does all that, plus it lowers blood pressure and in some instances causes migraines.

I have discovered a pain drug which pretty well does the trick: “analsik”. It is a combo drug made up of (about)300mg of methampyrone and 2mg of diazepam. I take it for migraines and has only failed me once.

I don’t know (and suspect not) if it is available in the US.

It can also make it so if you don’t hurl, whatever went through the GI won’t go out the other end either. I think that’s where the phrase “s**ing a brick” came from. AFAIK all opiates do this (at least to some people).
