I got prescribed 5mg morphine hydrocloride after my surgery but I wasn't instructed in how to use it. The receipt says to use when needed, but how much pain should I be in before taking it? I mean it's fucking morphine, I don't want to play around.
(I know I should ask my doctor but she's on fucking vacation. I called a medical advice line and they said they aren't allow to give advice on prescription meds.)

Any good chemists in the area? They should be able to tell you
Take it without pain for maximum effect

Sorry, I'm not natively english. Do you mean a literal chemist or some kind of pharmacist? There are pharmacies around here but I don't feel like walking over to one.

I definitely do not want to get high. I want to relieve the pain so that I can focus on work. There is no point if I get sluggish in the head.

Not him but coming from an English native I'm 95% certain he means a pharmacy, sometimes they're called chemists.

You're right.

>"The modern pharmacist (also colloquially referred to as a chemist in British English) has taken over this role and in some languages and regions the word is still used to refer to a retail pharmacy or a pharmacist who owns one."
In my country we still say apothecary.

Yes, sorry I meant pharmacy. Although if you kno w a literal chemist, they could also tell you haha
This forum aimed at druggies says 5mg is barely noticeable.

Should I stop worrying and just take the pill?
I got a hold of someone else at the clinic. She said my dosage is very low and that at worst I can feel a little tired. I am supposed to use it if I have pains that makes me tense, as the tension can make the healing slower. They should have told me that when I left because I've been walking around with exactly that kind of pain for two weeks now, lol.
Thank you for talking to me if nothing else.

Dang, was just about to reply.
You should be good OP, just don't exceed 15mg every 2hrs
>>17943046
My prescription says no more than 15mg per day.
