I'm pro-morphine as a controlled medicine for extreme pain and end-of-life. I've seen it work. I've had it post-surgery.

Fentanyl, my brother claims to be the best. It, too, can work wonders under a controlled environment.

Fentanyl is pretty much better than morphine in every way. Less toxic, cheaper, and works better with less side-effects. Especially less histamine response, which is the body itching people get.

Unfortunately, it's tainted by illicit use. Damned to only be used in dire circumstances. It's a shame, really.
