[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 335473, member: 19121"] In a word Hana , no. The way morphine and other opiates work in pain relief is completely different to when used recreationally, I have taken pain killers for years and have built up the strength slowly, no one is prescribed morphine as a first line drug only after long term use of co codamol, tramadol and codeine are opiads used without this pathway patients would be opiate naive and then it could affect them more seriously, but as minitata says after a short period of feeling slightly drowsy these drugs have no affect on driving. But dont think it will only affect those on opiates, no, any drug that warns you not to drive or use heavy machinery if feeling drowsy could potentially see you being prosecuted if the drug is picked up after a roadside test. Something to think about when you next get a cold and reach for the night nurse? The fact that these warnings are on certain drugs could make it hard to prove that you do not feel impaired whether you do or not. [/QUOTE]
