Will taking morphine helps control vomiting?
human
I was sent to an emergency room for continuing vomiting over a period of 3 hours and they gave me a shot of morphine to settle things down and to stop the vomiting. 4 days later I have some depression and I am wondering if this could be from the morphine.

Hello,Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.Morphine can cause depression but it is mostly after a chronic use. After a single shot of morphine, depression cannot precipitate. Moreover for clinically diagnosing a depression , the symptoms have to persist for atleast 2 weeks, which is not so in your case. Just  try getting back to your own life and commitments. Hope I am able to answer your concerns.If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:bit.ly/dr-srikanth-reddy
