duragesic conversion chart

All I know is that they will use a conversion chart to do that transition. I asked the PCP what to expect, and she said that I would feel some discomfort for the first couple of weeks but that it wouldn't be bad. She really wasn't convincing though. I have been on 75mcg/q48hrs for 4 years. I am sure that I am very dependent on this stuff. Why all the fear you may ask??

I was not on it for very long so I don't know how much help I can be. At the time my insurance wouldn't cover it and it was too expensive. I also had some absorbtion/adhesion problems with it. My doctor switched me to MSContin after a month or so of the patch and I did have some withdrawl/switching issues. It wasn't as bad as full-out withdrawls, though, at all.

My doctor reduced me to the above dose and its going terribly. The conversion for the fent for that dose is 50 to 75Mcg. My dr said to try changing the patch every 2 instead of every 3. My insurance won’t pay for this non-standard dose. Idk what to do. I’m in constant pain, sweating crazy - i’m in a nightmare.

just google opiate conversion chart, you will find several, some not so acurate, some you have to pay for avis has one on her profile her at medhelp you can try http://www.pharmer.org/forum/discussion-prescription-and-otc-meds/opioid-comparison what are you trying to convert, most people who ask this question want the suboxone conversion to methadone 8mgs of suboxone equals 60mgs of methadone http://www.bethlehem.org.au/OpioidConversionChart2007.

I'm really not sure of the exact conversion but I do know methadone is a good deal stronger than oxycodone. I do believe that it would be possible to take methadone with oxycodone for break-through pain if your doctor prescribes it at your next appt. One of our Community Leaders posted a medication conversion chart in her journal. It's handy for getting an idea of the equivalency of different pain meds.

I was wondering if anyone has a link to a conversion table for the Erfa Thyroid. I was on 75mcg of Synthroid and my gp started me on 30mg of Thyroid. I tried to tell him that it didn't match my T4 dosage but he wants to wait for the blood work,arrgh. I was feeling great on the 30mg for about a week-what a tease,lol. Now I'm back to where I was before.

Regarding your last sentence in your most recent post; WHY are you speaking in the first person with regard to something so potentially dangerous? ONLY a physician should be instructing you on the transition. Please seriously consider not doing this by yourself; conversion chart or not.

Google opiate conversion chart and you'll get a rough idea. You can also ask your pharmacist. It's not an exact science as everyone is different. I tapered down ... well really just stopped the Fentanyl and used my breakthrough meds to try to taper down. If you ate tapering to come off ecerything, I would suggest looking at the substance ause forum. There are lots of thimgs you can take to help with any withdrawal symptoms.

Google "EMDR and Conversion Disorder". EMDR has been around for over 25 years and there are highly trained, certified professionals all over the world. Here are links to a couple of websites that specifically talks about Conversion Disorder. http://www.epilepsy.com/article/2014/3/truth-about-psychogenic-nonepileptic-seizures http://www.womenspsychotherapy.com/board/board_topic/2026137/2094904.

What is the most accurate correspondence between the Snellen chart and prescription in diopters? Someone else in this forum posted the following: - 1.00 D = 20/100 - 2.00 D = 20/200 - 3.00 D = 20/300 and so on and so forth till... -10.00 D = 20/1000 There was no source for this chart. Thus, I have no idea how credible it is. I suspect there are better estimates out there.

Google pregnancy weeks to months conversion chart, its not 4 weeks a month, thats not accurate.

I did find the conversion chart but it does not include Tramadol as it is not a narcotic. I will try and find one that will convert the tramadol to MS contin. This is a pretty big increase, how much of the tramadol were you taking daily? MS Contin is a much stronger medication so if you were switched from the Tramadol to the MS Contin be careful until you know how your body will react. http://www.globalrph.com/narcotic.

Week short of 7 months.

Are there any chart available for conversion of sugar numbers from mg dl to mmol?

s a chart if you google weeks to months pregnancy conversion.

you can google it conversion armour thyroid or look online there is a thread with some conversion charts on it.

I would like to know what would be the correct dosage if I change to Nature-Throid? The conversion chart is confusing? I am having problems getting my levels correct. Will Nature-Throid work to suppress recurrence of cancer and work better to level the TSH, T3, & T4?

I have been on Armour thyroiod for 8 or 9 years - diagnosed 10 years ago with Hashi's. I started on Synthroid - horrible. It took a year to find a holistic dr. who would let me try Armour and I never looked back. My t3 isn't good though, my body is not coverting well and even though Armour has both my t3 levels are really low. I've never been able to lose the 20 pounds I gained before I was diagnosed. Not in 10 years.

t know where else to put this, but I was recently switched from Morphine 60mg ER to the Fentanyl Duragesic patch. I thought the weird flu like symptoms might be a result of the new drug, but apparently it has to be withdrawal from the Morphine. I'm kind of miffed neither the doctor nor pharmacist even mentioned this could happen. I was naive and thought the new medication wouldn't create an issue with the switch, I was wrong.

Did your TSH spin up or down? The reason I ask is that Naturethroid's conversion chart is not correct. It takes more Naturthroid then the chart says to get equal value when switching from other meds to NT. My daughter is now on 1 grain more of the NT then the Armour. She was on 120 mg Armour and the chart said that to convert to NT that she would need 130 mg NT. Instead she is on 195 mg and I suspect she will need even slightly more.

not exactly..oxy in theory is a bit stronger than hydro..and sub is a different type of narcotic than the other 2..but conversoin charts do compare the strength of sub to other narcotics..but it is not really the effect they r comparing//but the strength...i do believe there is a conversion chart in avisg's journal...

Sometimes, but not always, I feel like he is looking for more after he has finished. I want to make up bigger bottles and give him the option of drinking more if he wants, but dont know if this would be okay? And if so, how much should I make up? Would 150 mls be to much?

I HAVE BEEN ON DURAGESIC FOR 6 YEARS, I WAS AT 100 4 MONTHS AGO THEN DRPPED IT TO 75 AND NOW AFTER 3-4 MONTHS I AM ON 50MCH PATCH... I CAN'T WAIT TO GET OFF THIS POISON.. ITS BEEN A 6 YEAR NIGHTMARE AND I AM DOING EVERYTHING I CAN TO MAKE IT END.. HAVE A HIP PROBLEM AND USED IT TO BUY MORE TIME UNTIL TOTAL REPLACEMENT.. THIS PATCH HAS BECOME MY WORSE DISABILITY.. ANYONE KNOW OF A DETOX OR WEAN OFF DRUG FOM HERE.. THE DROP ON THESE PATCHES ARE HORRIBLE..

There really is no exact equivalent, but i can guarantee you that 20mcgs of bupe doesn't cover 60mgs of methadone, for anyone I have met. Maybe in someone's theory, but I have read it is closer to 1mg dupe is good for 30-60mgs of methadone. I was at about 200mgs methadone and 8 mgs bupe was about right, which is half what my doctor prescribed, but that is 50mgs methadone to 1mg bupe, was still a little off, but stabilized in a couple days.
