What would happen if you take 4 morphines at once?

Answer 1

First of all, you would probably start to sweat very badly, become nauseous, and end up very, very sleepy. If that in itself didn't kill you (Because your breathing rate would slow down and it would have an affect on your blood pressure and those might kill you) you would end up going into renal failure (The liver and Kidney's can't remove the toxins quick enough), end up jaundiced and unable to remove toxins from your body, and since the body isn't removing any more toxins (because it can't) all your other organs would start to shut down or be very badly damaged.

If you DIDN'T die from the overdose, you'd end up on dialysis for the rest of your life, you would probably end up in a hospital or health care facility because of how much they have to monitor your kidneys and liver, as well as the meds and foods you eat, and alot of your organs, especially the liver, kidney and brain would would just cease to properly work ever again.

Firstly, I'm not sure that sweating, nausea and sleep would kill you. Also I doubt that the kidneys would be damaged by morphine, as a long term cancer patient, I have taken large doses of morphine for years and my kidneys are fine, morphine is not toxic in itself. More likely, the person will feel an ecstatic rush of pleasure, become very drowsy and fall asleep. The lungs will slow down and eventually the person stops breathing. (A far less painful and traumatic way to go than what the above author states.)

or if you are suicidal then don't try this because it wouldn't work you would just be sick for a while no one would notice but you wouldn't DIE unless that is just me.

Answer 2

You would become intoxicated to roughly 4 x the extent that you would had you taken only one. If you need to ask this question, however, you likely do not have a tolerance to the drug significant enough to merit safely taking 4 doses, and your doctor likely has not directed you to do so. Because many prescription forms of morphine are extended release, also, were you to take too high a dose and overdose, which is a real possibility and a distinct cause for concern, you may take a fair amount of time to notice the dose that you've taken, and should this dose be greater than necessary to an extent capable of causing discomfort, it would take longer than normal for the effects to fade.

Do not exceed the prescribed dose of your pain medication. Best case scenario, you'll increase your tolerance and start needing that dose just to feel the pain relief that you previous received from whatever your standard dose was, and you will also need to continue taking this elevated dose to stave off the withdrawal syndrome associated with physical dependency.

If you feel that the dose that you are prescribed is insufficient to control your pain, consult your doctor about the situation, and see if he or she can recommend anything to make your medication more effective, or possibly, if he or she sees fit, increase your dosage or switch you to another medication in order to better control your pain symptoms.
