As someone who always gets the side effects and oftentimes the ones that make me want to die, how soon would you expect the 10mg to cause issues?

I'm not looking for medical advice or seeking meds - I have an appointment with my dr in a bit about it, but wanted other people's thoughts.

I currently have oramorph for breakthrough pain, but with my period having been going on now for 31 days, I've been taking it constantly the last two and a half weeks.

My dose is 2.5ml up to six times a day.

I was in hospital recently and they said that that was quite a low dose, and that it could go up to even 7.5(!)ml, especially because I've been on it for a few years and am not opiate naive.

What doses are other people on? Am I actually on a lower dose? I know someone who is on 5ml but can take double the amount if needed. I can't remember what my mam was on before she died, but we went through the bottle faster than I go through mine, so I assume it was more?
