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 Chat Doctor 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 at least 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/ Chat Doctor.
