Methadone morphine conversion

Common Questions and Answers about Methadone morphine conversion

methadose

Avatar f tn 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...
Avatar f tn even small doses are powerful but it is misleading because there is no euphoria with methadone as for morphine your conversion seam off.....when deciding to jump ship that is why I always suggest single digits it will make the withdrawal a whole lot more doable good luck and God bless........
Avatar f tn So at the clinic I'm on 150, 3 40's 1 half a 40 and 1 quarter. Totaling 150 is that Mg of methadone? I'm kind of tripping. I used about 100-150 Mgs of codeine and sometimes about 200-400 of morphine daily. 5-7 roxy 30's and 2-4 morphine 100's a day. Now I've not touched a pill but I do take 150 methadone daily since February 6 of this year. Is this a horrible thing I'm doing or what?
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn In other words, this is not the only place to get the conversion information. Now, I will not provide conversion info for methadone...ever! That opioid is completely unpredictable as it builds up in your system and even the conversions that are out there are very risky to go off of as everyone's metabolism is different and with methadone, the conversion is not straight forward at all.
Avatar m tn the new pain clinic wants me to take (30 mg of long acting morphine) with (10 mg of methadone) every 8 hrs.....(30 mg methadone total per day)...(90 mg morphine total per day)....the problem is getting down to 30 mg of methadone...been on at least 100 mg of methadone for 25 years ...the morphine does nothing for or does not cover the methadone withdrawals.....my new docs wanted me to get down to 30 mg methadone in 6 weeks....
Avatar f tn I got pregnant in 2010 with my first son and was using oxycotoin, soon as i found out i wss pregnant i got on methadone. When he was born i was on 95ml and he came out fine and only scored up to 2. I have been on methadone since then and just had another boy that was born jan 29 2014, i was on 75ml and his score was all the way to 15 before they decieded to put him on morphine.
1271743 tn?1320892461 If you are taking Morphine for a couple of months and the doctor changes you to Methadone, will the Methadone prevent withdrawal symptoms normally experienced from stopping the Morphine?

Avatar m tn Hi! That all sounds like a plan until you got to the part about methadone. I wouldn't start methadone. If you can stop for five days, why would you want to do the methadone? The physical WD will be much better after the five day mark, so starting methadone at that point will only give you another drug to detox from. AND.....it's a detox that will be much harder than the morphine one will be. The fact that you have lots of vacation time will help a LOT.

1695881 tn?1306506766 the baby is going to be gettin morphine. i wonder if i could be hospitalied and do the same treatment?
Avatar f tn The conversion from Heroin to Methadone depends on how many grams you've been using and if was smoked or used IV?
Avatar n tn I just spent 8 days in the hospital. I was given 15mg of morphine every hour. They released me with nothing and that is fine. Accept I feel like I am dieing. I am so scared, I dont know what is normal withdraw if I need a Dr. or what....
Avatar m tn I pretty much thought it had something to do with the morphine. Any advice? He needs it for his back. My view is morphine is probably better than any other of the narcotic analgesics because it is the most natural and has been around for centuries. I certainly would not want him on oxycontin or fentanyl. Is Opana ER any better? Need advice from doctor preferably or someone who has an idea what they are talking about regarding this matter.
Avatar m tn gave me the percocets but gave me MS cotin 15 3 x a day. How is that going to compare to what i was on . Also i have had morphine in past an it doesnt agree with me i had reaction to it ! I need to find dr that will keep me on what i was on but how do i find one?
Avatar f tn The Morphine does not equal the Methadone. If you have never taken Morphine before you could be having a allergic reaction our the wd is too much. You need to call a ambulance if you are having seizures! If you are not prone to them I do not understand your hubby's attitude but take care of yourself if he will not recognize you need Help! Be damned what the ER thinks! Hope you are well.
Avatar m tn For over 50 years, oral methadone was considered to be 3/2 the strength of morphine.That means that 20mg of methadone is equivalent to 30mg of morphine. (All opioid strengths are based on the so-called "gold standard" of analgesia, morphine sulfate.) This means methadone is 150% the strength of morphine. Recently, they've changed that ratio to a much more conservative number. At low doses of morphine equivalent, the ratio is 8/1 or 800%.

Avatar n tn I was kicked off the methadone programe for take clonazapam I was on Methadone program for year and 1/2 so my methadone doctor kicked me out of the program and did not wean me off so my family doctor put me on morphine so I would not go thru withdrawal how long should it take me to do this and be withdrawal free
Avatar n tn Im not sure how long its been since your dose of suboxone, but it always took me about 1hr before I would feel its effects. I was on methadone before going to sub, tapered down from 140mgs-30mgs, then started at 8mgs/suboxone. Im not really sure how methadone compares to morphine milligram wise, but if it doesnt help then talk to your doctor about adjusting your dose. You cant expect to feel great, but it should hold off the w/d's and cravings.
Avatar m tn Hi I just happened to see your post, it hasn't been answered. I don't have a great answer but there is a conversion chart from Suboxone to Methadone, you can search it out. At the same time, from everything I have read if you were going from 30 mg of Methadone to 12mg sub it would be ok, the opposite is not true. Suboxone is much stronger than other opiates so you would want to do the conversion yourself before the doctor switches you.
