REPORT

I take 40mg of morphine ER a day and for break through pain I take 40mg of percocet IR. I wanted to know if I took 2 20mg capsules of ER morphine would that be safe? I have fibromyalgia and the pain is horrific I have been to a lot of dr's I have had so many tests run I cant keep up with counting them. My symptoms just keeping getting worse my pain level is a 10 sometimes more than that. The pain is so bad I do wish I wouldnt wake up in the morning. I have 4 kids and the pain with fibro is much worse I would rather be giving birth than to have to go through this pain one more day. It seems the harder the doctor tries to help me the worse the pain gets. I wanted to know if it were safe for me to take 2 morphine capsules so I dont run out of percocet as quickly? I hope someone can help me with my question. Thank you so much.

Oxycodone is one and a half times stronger than Morphine, so an equivalent dosage would be 60mgs.

However, you do need to make sure you taking the same formulation, since both Oxycodone and Morphine come in regular, instant and time released formulations. Thus, if you're taking the regular release formulation of Oxycodone, then you would need a regular release formulation, in that dosage, of the Morphine.

The only 40mg Oxycodone available is the extended release, Oxycontin.

Due to the dangers of overdose, from getting too much medication, at once, it is highly unlikely that your doctor is going to give you 40mgs of instant release Morphine.
