You are so much more aware this time I am sure you can discuss some alternatives to morphine. But as you say there are drug interactions that complicate deciding what best to use. Fentanyl patches are often prescribed once morphine is left behind but that is almost always post surgery. What they use while in surgery is totally within the domain of the anesthesiologist. Good luck.
