What Is Morphine?
How Does Morphine Work?
Despite being an addictive drug, doctors continue to prescribe morphine today. The drug first hit the market in 1941 after the Food and Drug Administration gave it the “OK.” However, it’s important to remember that people have always needed a prescription to obtain morphine legally. Sadly, some people manage to get their hands on it illegally and sell it as a street drug.
Signs of Morphine Addiction
- Dizziness
- Confusion
- Low blood pressure
- Vomiting
- Small pupils
It’s important to seek help for someone who suffers from morphine addiction as soon as possible. The overdose potential of this drug is high and can lead to seizures, memory loss, and even death.

Social and Mental Impact of Morphine Abuse
Mentally, morphine abuse makes it difficult for people to concentrate. Poor concentration often leads to bad grades in school or poor job performance. People who abuse morphine often start to make poor decisions. For example, they may begin stealing or spending excessive amounts of money to fuel their drug problem.
Socially, people with morphine abuse problems typically develop poor reputations. If they start stealing to fuel their drug problem, for instance, those closest to them begin to distrust them. Sometimes users even fake injuries just to get another prescription.
People who abuse morphine often start to withdraw from friends and family. They may start spending more time with new friends who like to use similar drugs. Making friends with these kinds of people helps them form connections so that they can find more morphine.
