I'm sorry that you had trouble posting, but glad you persevered.

As to your question, Oxycodone is one and half times stronger than Morphine. So, if you were taking 30mgs of Oxycodone, you'd need 45mgs of Morphine to be an equivalent dose.

You can find more Oxycodone details here and there are more Morphine details here.

These are both narcotics, so they both carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?

generic roxicodone, 122 by Cara, made me deathly sick. I have been taking oxycodone for about 10 ye.ars. I have I have
had 3 back surgeries, and have n I have been taking oxycodone for years. I developed neuropathy in my left leg and foot I have constant pins needles nervepain. I have gone through several different formulas of this pain med, but not one made me as deathly ill as this .what could they have changed so much to make me this sick?

hes right morphine loses most of its potency when asorbed through the liver, which happens unless introduced iv...not saying bang it but maybe ask for something that works orally...

Jerry oxycodone is stronger per milligram then morphine per milligram.

People who are not in healthcare often do not realize that number means nothing when comparing various opioids.

Often combining several different opioids is better then one it affects different receptors in the brain to block the pain.

My wife takes oxycodone 10's 3 xs a day yet only in halves. She's around 125 lbs.
She accidentally took 3 10s at once.
How will this effect her? Should I worry?

Oxy and roxy are the same medication it must be the brand and the filler that they use . I take 4 100 mg ms contin 4 Oxycodone 30 mg and 6 oxycodone 15 mg for the same problem you have and many other injuries and it seems to be ok for me . But it has been 12 years I have been on this and you do build up a tolerance to it and you need more and more as the years go by for it to be effective . Try a different pharmacy and make sure it is not from the same pharmaceutical company . Hope this helps

I would be more worried about someone who posts something on a website wanting a situation resolved in an urgent matter.

Sorry for the somewhat terse notation but I was frustrated in getting little to zero information in an immediate manner, my impatience was/is unacceptable.

Thank you for your professional follow up.

Imam taking 4 tabs of 30mg. Morphine IR daily along with two 20mg. tabs of Oxycontin. The oxycodone is much better taking care of the pain and burning in my legs. It seems if my Dr. would switch me to Oxy IR he would have to give me 20mgs. of OXY every 6 hours. If that is correct I doubt he will do that. morphine does not work very well. maybe he would give 80mgs of Oxy a day instead of the Morphine, all I can do is ask. Even 10mgs. of oxy every 4 hours would be better than the 120mgs of Morphine daily IMHO.

I take oxy ended contin going back to the first meds. But they aren't working good. Any suggestions? I appreciate it. Lady inpain 80 mg. Twice a day and 30 mg. Oxycodone 3 times a day. It helps some but I believe I need more of the 30's cause they help more! And they are very addicting! I want to get off the oxycontin, but I don't know what would help. I am probably going to have surgery next month and I don't know what they will do med wise. They also want to stick rods on my spine but I will not let them. My reg. Dr. is an internalist, and this year we tried opana 40 mg 3 and dilaudid 4 mg. 3x. But I am home by myself till 5 and I would've nodded out..my head would fall on the coffee table and it hurt! I also smoke and burned several things BUT MY PAIN WAS ALMOST GONE!!! Anyways we ended.

According to the opioid conversion chart at Virginia Commonwealth University (vcu.edu) MS IR and oxycodone are the same equivalent. SOME in the medical field are now calling it different BUT there is NO AGREEMENT on the subject. It VARIES GREATLY from patient to patient. I DO KNOW what I am talking about since I have been taking 180mg/day of MS IR for over 2 years and my pain mgmt. doc has tried everything on me. Within the last year I have made several significant lifestyle changes that have allowed me to reduce my pain medication intake drastically, including eating better and meditating. BTW, you have to meditate for more than 15 o0or 20 minutes/day. Try at least 2 hours/day. After about a month you start making significant strides, so don't give up.I have taken 30 mg of oxycodone 180 mg per day and it did very little for my pain. The best combination I found for the pain is MS IR for breakthrough and methadone for the chronic pain. Now I am down to two ms ir PER DAY and NO methadone. If your "PAIN SPECIALIST" like some of the posts I have read here lets you suffer for years without trying everything available please do yourself a favor and get a different doc. ALSO, BEWARE OF SOME PEOPLE ON HERE WHO THINK THEY KNOW EVERYTHING LIKE THIS ONE WHO I NOTICED KEEPS TELLING PEOPLE THAT oxycodone is 1.5 times stronger than ms ir. That is what SOME IN HEALTHCARE say BUT NOT ALL!!! DO LOTS OF RESEARCH AND REMEMBER EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT. THANK THE STARS THAT MY PAIN DOC KNOWS THIS!!! SHE IS AWESOME.

Please be respectful of all opiate medications. If you are hiring your head on a coffee table or burning things with smoking materials consider you may be taking too high a dose . Please talk to your Doc. I you OD you harm everyone in the pain community. I need my meds I have RSD a gift from a druged driver. Your need can change up or down. Pain meds don't stop all the pain they lower the amount. Please be careful !!!!!

Morphine " MS Contin " SUX.... I had to switch to a new pain Dr and at that time I was taking 4 30mg oxycodone a day, my new Dr put me on the morphine 30mg twice daily and oxycodone 30mg twice a day for break through pain, it has been a living nightmare!! The morphine makes me feel like I'm going to crack up!! Very agitated and nervous , went back to him today and gave them back all of the morphine for them to dispose of and he gave me Opana 10mg twice a day and when I got to the pharmacy my insurance wouldn't cover it without prior authorization which could takes days or even weeks or could be denied all together, I went back to the Drs office to let them know that my insurance wouldn't pay the Opana and could they give me something else, I was told by the hateful lady at the front window that the Dr said I would have to wait to see what the insurance does about the Opana, I left that Drs office empty handed after I had given them all my morphine to despose of,what can be done about this kind of treatment?? I am livid!! I've never been treated this way and I've seen a lot of Drs. I have Lupus and rheumatoid arthritis and sjrogrens syndrome and I suffer 24/7 with Cronic pain, I'm ready to take legal action for this type of humiliating treatment...

Your continued pain might increase depending on which antibiotic you are on. I am permanently disabled from taking cipro for an infection!

Yes you can take them both I use to b on both but I hated methodone so much that I was changed to oxys 6x's a day. I hope you do understand all narcotics work dif. in everyone no ones the same so I would ask your Dr. If they are allowed to be together cause I don't know your situation that well but me I took methodone with morphine or oxys cause I was prescribed both at the same time your Dr. Knows you more than what I've read or talk to a Pharmacy they can also tell you what's best for your situation. Hope this helped a little that's all that matters!!!
