If I Take 130mg Of Methadone Per Day Will A 60mg Morphine Sulfate Help Get Me Through One Day? (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I go to a methadone program and have for about 4 years. I've recently had the flu which caused me to vomit up my methadone (I get 5 take home bottles per week). Tried taking another bottle and threw up again. I'm feeling sick from not taking it so I took a 60 mg morphine sulfate pill. Will this help at all?

Ryanc

I went one step further I consulted my staff pharmacologist and she confirmed that there is indeed a difference all be it similar. Hence patients allergic to morphine can use dilaudid and vice versa so deff. Not the same. If anyone would know it would be her.. I tend to believe a pharmacologist over a pharmacist any day. I guess it's back to the books lol

Dilaudid is NOT MORPHINE it's
Hydromorphone a synthesized keytone of the MORPHINE TYPE. Molecular weight is approx 7-10 stronger.I SUGGEST YOU DO THE RESEARCH the pdr for narcotic abusers or newbies don't count.

Dose is a ratio of 6:1 so 100mg methadone needs 600mg morphine. Tell your doctor to get educated on equal dosing when messing around with your life and taking your money. Remember 600mg morphine daily is same as 100mg methadone daily. If youre on instant release morphine you would need to split your dose into 4 doses of 150mg a day i.e 600mg total morphine for the day. Doctors must get these things right as you will suffer dreadfully otherwise

You are fine to take morphine, all the people above are talking rubbish. The actual dose of plain old morphine is a ratio of 6:1 so 100 mg of methadone daily would require at least 600mg morphine split into 4 doses of 150mg instant release morphine 4 times a day which equals the 600mg of morphine you need to feel OK

If anyone has legal advice help please. Im in pain I can't go to clinics they don't except people who have mri pain go figure.

Hospitals are NOT very sympathetic to methadone users. Who do you think you are saying to people they should consider wether to have take away doses or not because they are sick? Are you some kind of troll? What you say is invlid and not helpful at all, you should consider wether or not you should offer 'advice' on these forums!!!

Pls answer ASAP!! On Methadone for pain management for the last four years since my son was born - efore i got pregnant i was VERY happy with a fabulous life after 11 miserable years of the "try this med" merry-g0-round with 6 30mg OxyContins per day long-acting. Last week, doc discovered the methadone caused a marked sinsu arrythmia in my heart (FYI - methadone at doses higher than 100mg/day WILL cause this condition over time pls research it!!) so he put me on a lousy 15 mg Morphine 3x day. Well, i have been in withdrawal hell for 5 days since the last dose of methadone wore off. i am seeing him tomorrow - he told me come in the morning and i'll change your medication, but i am TERRIFIED to get back on that merry-go-round. i have a very important job now plus a 3 year old and i can't afford to be ill for 5 minutes let alone 5 days. Anyone have an idea what the chances are he will at least put me back on my Oxy 3x per day? He has no records prior to m y pregnancy because i moved out of state and the old doc claimed he couldn't find my 8+ year chart to send. i am so worried. Also, never broke a pain contract or had any probs with any meds/dr ever. i just want my quality of life back and to not be sick and in pain. Thank you!!

She came down from 260 to 55mg of methadone. She should so congratulate herself. You obviously have never been there. It is her own struggle. You should be ashamed.

Who are u to tell someone how to dose. Everyone is different. Maybe u should go to another place to post. Just because u detoxed quicker doesn't mean ur any better or stronger.

This is rude.unless you R on methadone pls do not put someone else down for doing a SLOW TAPER which is exactly what the clinic will tell you is best for your body.

Are you serious you crazy rabbit??!?!! It is a HUGE step to go from that high (230 or whatever) to 55!!!!! The fact that the person is trying to make a successful recovery is enough of a struggle, the withdrawals are so awful I would not want anyone to go thru that! Who are you anywY? Do u have any idea what a big deal that is for someone dealing with life as an addict? So, to the one down to 55mgs,I say " that's awesome!" Soon it will be only a bad memory for you.

You have been at a methadone clinic for eight years and are congratulating yourself for just now being on what 65? You should not be giving advice to anyone.
