morphine vs oxycodone

I do have a question. Which has the worst withdrawal symptoms? Oxycodone or Morphine. I have already stopped the oxycodone. I'm more or less curious about this subject. I often have read debates on the different forums. Hope you all had a wonderful holiday.

Also no tylenol in morphine or oxycodone oxcontin is why doctor probably gave yyou morphine

Hi to all. With many members having a false negative drug screen I have done some research that might help others in this situation. While doing some investigating I came across this information that might be of some help. According to The American Journal Of Forensic Medicine, It seems that 15 percent of all ppl who take Morphine on a regular basis come out negative for the drug. If you would like to read the full article, you can find it at: www.amjiforensicmedicine.com/pt/re/ajfmp/fulltext.

why would a dr. change me from 5mg. of oxycodone to 30mg. morphine? i was put out of work cuz i could not funtion only weigh 113lbs now he has change me to 10mg of morphine i told him i am not comfortable taking morphine.

an example is the conversion of codeine to morphine, which is more efficient in some people than in others. There is also wide variation in the degree of nausea produced by different medications in different people. I do not know of any evidence that hydromorphone is better tolerated overall than oxycodone.

Maybe you could just stop the morphine all together and just use the percocet. Morphine is more addictive and harder to wd from. Good luck.

I do agree that buprenorphine (Suboxone/Subutex) is a much better, safer choice for us hcv carriers as it's only a partial opioid agonist. Full agonists such as morphine, oxycodone, herion, & methadone cause certain immune functions to hibernate but heightens other immune functions (i.e. Reason for replication due to virus being threatened). I speak from experience an not just from the few clinical trials that have been done.

And morphine is actually less powerful than oxycodone. Oxycodone is 1.5-2 times stronger than morphine. The shape of a pill and whether the pill is a tablet or capsule does not tell you if it is extended release or immediate release. Avinza is extended release morphine than comes in capsules versus tablets. It sounds like you are having intolerable side effects from oxycodone. That means no oxycodone, whether it is a tablet, a capsule, immediate release or extended release Oxycontin.

I dont see how it could show up different, since the active drug in both oxycodone and oxycontin is the same drug, oxycodone. Oxycontin has been formulated where part of the drug is released as soon as you take it and the rest is made do dissolve more slowly. Thats why your not supposed to chew or break the tablet. It's like taking morphine IR or morphine ER. They will both show up as morphine.

Welcome TTC Actually, clean opiates, once off them and through the w/d don't leave permanent damage. At least I know that is true for plain morphine, oxycodone because it is synthetic I don't know... that is just the body. The emotional, mental aspects can take longer, but I found after 10 years of addiction to morphine, once I was off I felt completely normal after about 6 months... Functional after 1 month. The first 2 weeks off I was very messed up.

Is liquid Morphine somehow differenty to tablet-form Morphine? I am very reluctant to take the Morphine. Even so, he is the doctor I'm only a musician : ) My second question I would be grateful fro help with is that a lady I know who sufferes severe pain from degenerative bone disease is prescribed Morphine IR and Oxycodone. She tells me this combination works well for her. Does anyone have any experience of this particular combination of Morphine IR and Oxycodone?

I eventually had the Doctor switch me back to the Oxycodone. 15mg Morphine is equivalent to 5mg of Oxycodone, so you might need to take both tabs of the Morphine to get the same relief. I hope this helps.

My wife, who takes morphine sulfate ER and oxycodone IR for chronic pain. She does a urine test every month. For the first time in several years, 10+, her results showed a positive result for codeine, 107 ng/mL. I found an article that said a small amount of codeine may show up in patients taking high doses of morphine due to possible impurities in manufacturing. Is this correct? Has anyone else run in to this??

I went through 48 weeks of treatmnt, my doctor prescrbed morphine and oxycodone, these were the least harmful, I also have cirhosis.

I am an Engineer that has worked in the industry for over 12 years. The last 6 years I have been on pain medications. First Tramadol and then vicodin, and now morphine and percocet. I continue to do a great job and produce fantastic products. My managers know about my chronic pain and are very accepting of the pain medications I take as they don't affect my job performance and they know that I am responsible with my meds.

Heroin breaks down into codeine and morphine. Codeine breaks down into morphine. The opiate drug tests look for codeine, morphine, and 6-acetyl-morphine. The presence of 6-acetyl-morphine is relatively conclusive of recent heroin use, but is only detectable for a few hours after use. The presence of codeine can be the result of either heroin or codeine use. The presence of morphine can be the result of the use of heroin, codeine, or morphine.

I've been tapering down my medications (and made some great progress.) So far got off the Fentanyl 75 mcg., oxycodone 40 to 60 mg. every four hours. I had some pretty moderate withdrawals going off the Fentanyl and oxycodone. Nothing like cold turkey, but difficult nonetheless. I was switched over to morphine ER 30 mg. in the morning and 30 mg. at night. I already dropped to 15 mg. at night. I'm also supposed to take 15 mg.

Thanks so much for your reply. I am now about 72 hours into this. My reasons for doing this are 50/50. I have been flipped back and forth between the Morphine and Oxycodone three times in the last couple of months. I have complained that it doesn't last long enough and I am very unhappy with it...but for some reason my neurologist preferred to put me on 30 mg Oxycodone three times daily rather than Morphine 30 mg four times daily.

Morphine 15mg, Oxycodone 10/325mg, Xanax .25 mg, and Zoloft 100mg. I have been taking the Morphine and Oxy 3xs/day, 8am, 2pm and 8pm. I take my Zoloft at 8am and my Xanax at 8pm. I also take a stool softener for constipation and have to take Tylenol now and then when I get the Morphine headache. Now that I have read several questions and answers, I will no longer take the Morphine and Oxy together, I didn't realize that they are the same thing basically.

Hello I was on high daily doses of hydrocodone for 2 years and eventually progressed to sporadic iv use of drugs such as morphine, oxycodone and heroin.I went to rehab 2 years ago and have been on suboxone ever since.At one time I was on 4 8mg pills daily but am currently on 1 a day.Even at the highest dose, however, I still had quite strong drug cravings and still live ith them every day.I also have depression for which I have tried countless antidepressants, all without results.
