Opiates, such as morphine (MS-Contin), are generally contraindicated in recent brain injury or any other condition associated with raised intracranial pressure.
MS-Contin and other opiates, especially in large doses, may cause seizures. Ironically, opiate withdrawal may cause seizures as well.
Vomiting is a relatively common side effect of opiates whereas peptic ulcer is not.
