Again, I seem to be the minority that gets the side effects you read about but noboy gets! After being on the morphine drip for 4 days, I started hallucinating. I saw animals or something moving around the room and kept talking to the nurse who others claim was nowhere near. I jumped up from the bed and yelled a couple of times. Once they stopped the morphine everything was fine. My coy wife now walks behind me and when they ask if I am allergic to any medications, she whispers m-o-r-p-h-i-n-e to them.
