I have had a morphine pump implant for 17 years. The Dr. had me on trazadone to sleep, but that is no longer working. I am on 17 mgs down from 20 mgs. I also have morphine and soma for breakthrough pain which I do have alot of.

I am wondering if anyone else has this problem sleeping. I can go to sleep, but not stay asleep and am getting so tired of this routine.

The pump was a last resort for me as nothing had worked before. I had herniated all the discs in my neck and had numerous surgery's, metal plates put into my neck and numerous spinal fusions. I pray that I can be contacted by others that have this problem. Merry Christmas
