Google isn't being very helpful!
I took 2 paracetamol, a naproxen and 60mg dihydrocodeine at 7pm and wondering when I can take oramorph

Call 111 and request advice from a clinician, they should be able to help you. Hope you’re feeling better soon.

Honestly they'll probably request a GP callback or an ambulance and I don't need either!
I'll leave it a bit longer before I take the morphine. If I had known the pain would be so bad tonight I would have just gone straight onto the morphine argh Angry

This would suggest to me that you'd be okay to use the oramorph. I hope you get some relief from the pain.

I’m trying to think back to the times I’ve had morphine & I want to say no you can’t take them together due to risk of side effects. Prehaps is it in the leaflet in the box?

I had a look at an opioid calculator and I'm well under the dosage as I haven't had any other dihydrocodeine today

Not addicted, just severe ovary pain
