Guest guest Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Love my new doctor. Gave me a prescription for Kadian, 50 mg twice a day and for the first time in several years I am not in severe pain. Bad news is that I am itching horribly from the morphine. Does anyone know if I can take Benedryl with the Kadian? His office doesn't open till 9; same with the pharmacy, and I am going nuts! Thanks, Jeanne in Ga PS: yes, tried cool bath, oatmeal bath, calamine lotion, regular lotion We have the perfect Group for you. Check out the handy changes to .

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Bless you again! The benedryl is helping and I am no longer backing up to the doorway to scratch my back,lol. I was so worried that he would end up taking me off the Kadian because of this. To be free of pain for the first time in too many years is unbelievable. I've been walking and even rode my bike a little yesterday! Jeanne in Georgia PS: and the new doctor actually approves the vegetarian life, hot tofudogdiggity!
