Is Oxycodone Stronger Than Morphine? (Page 2) (Top voted first)

I just want to know which drug works the best Oxycodone or Morphine. I was switched from Oxy to Morphine. Was taking Oxy 10/325 and now take 30 mg of the Morphine.

The ten milligram oxycodone
in my opinion is equal to a thirty milligram morphine I get perscibed em both and I'd take a ten mg Oxy over thirty milligrams of morphine any day it's a sleepy type of pill and to me fifteen milligrams of hydrocodone equal that thirty milligram morphine once again I get thirty milligram morphines and orally they are as weak as they get I hate running out of my fifteen milligram pervs and taking that weak morphine ima see if they give me oxycontain for breakthrough pain or dilautin soon the morphine blows

I just want to say something from reading everybody's post so you have an understanding of pain meds, well the ones that everybody seems to be confused about. Percocet is oxycodone with Tylenol they have 5, 7.5, or 10mg mixed with Tylenol so it looks like this 5/325 or 10/325...Roxicodone comes in 5,10,15,20, and 30mg which is strait oxycodone with no Tylenol. OxyContin is Oxycodone continous release. So that comes in 10mg all the way to 10mg and supposedly lasts 12 hrs however I have always got my around the clock pain meds every 8 hrs and breakthrough 4-6 a day every 4 to 8hrs depending. Also your around the clock pain med every 8 hrs is so it overlaps and you stay good. Extended release pain meds are OxyContin, MS Contin(morphine), Exalgo (dilaudid extended release), Fetenynal patches, Zohydro(pure hydrocodone), Opana (oxymorphone) to name a few...breakthrough you have percocet(oxycodone with Tylenol), Roxicodone/oxycodone IR (pure oxycodone), vicodin/lortab/norco (hydrocodone with tylenol), Morphine, dilaudid, n they don't use it as much but u can get a mix of ibuprofen and vicodin...I think it's called microprofen or somethin like that....been in pain meds since my TBI in the military 5 yrs ago n in 2 bad car accidents since....I can't win...but long as u take prescribed u won't become addicted nor get a high...that's y there are rules, and u have a good Dr...good luck

Yes, morphine is "clearer" feeling than oxycodone...But that's MY BODY. We're all wired differently. I'm also very pleased with morphine compared to oxycodone myself. Peace

Hi I'm the person up there registered as willchill. I've read through these comments and the confusion I see people having with the wording and terminology. Most of you are correct, but I'd like to emphasize a couple of things. Oh, RN,MS, from UCSF CNS x30 years @ Critical Care bedside and instructor.here.. I put my credentials there and if you can figure out what the letters all mean then maybe you aren't on the right pain med.. OK that was a joke but the credentials are true.,, now I'm a chronic pain patient due to peripheral neuropathy. Ok here's the quick deal on what everybody is discussing.
True: If you take your pain meds exactly as prescribed, and it is indeed for pain, there is a very low chance of becoming addicted. It's documented in science journals so no need to argue. Terminology: Addiction vs Tolerance. True, taking pain medications the body develops a tolerance and when you decrease the dosage you will feel with- drawal. This is not the same as addiction. Addiction is the bad word that nobody wants. Look up the definition I don't need to write it here. Addiction is when the medication dictates your behavior and thoughts concerning how much you think you need, ie: is X stronger than Y?, If I take this X combo is it longer acting ?etc. and so on. People don't believe me but narcotics make me feel sick and I've only had sort of a good feeling from it the first time I had to take some as a kid. After that, thankfully I've never wanted narcotics and have never felt a buzz or high. All I feel is sick and sleepy. again I'me very lucky, but all of this talk is what generally what addicts are thinking about. They want to get that first time euphoria again. It makes a huge impression on people and that's why MD's must stop handing out for sore throats and headaches and muscle aches. It sets up the addict mind early in life to seek it for the rest of their lives. Non addict people taking pain meds for pain aren't concerned if X is stronger than Y. They just want relief from what the MD wrote for them. They don't get into the pharmacopia and look up chemical structures and which is more potent. This is addict thinking. Thinking that messes up how you live and progressively and chronically relapses and worsens and ends in one of three ways if an intervention is not done. Death, Institutions , and Jail. A non addicted chronic pain patient isn't counting pills or worrying about running out too soon. None of that. The addict sets up themselves for these problems by testing out combinations and timing them and all sorts of manipulations. The non addict or person at lowest risk to become an addict just takes the pills as ordered and doesn't need to come to forums like this to get the inside dope so to speak. Granted,a bit of a generalization, and there is normal overlap,with all mixes of behavior that do not make a person an addict. Many of the side effects and needs/beliefs of the pain medication and the power of the pain is all in your mind. Seriously, it is the brain that gives you the awareness that you have pain not the original injury or tissue that started it all. All those nerves did was send out a dreaded alarm that if the brain doesn't do something quick--tissue damage will occur. Chronic pain is a repeat movie and most of the time the origin of pain is not active any more. How do we know this? Phantom limb pain and placebo. I can't write a book here so you'll have to research this if you don't believe me. Chronic need of a pain med however, can mimic addiction and really I think the best way to think of addiction and tolerance is to ask yourself these questions with the most honest answer possible. Is my pain med controlling me? or am I controlling the pain med? Sure it crosses over a bit, but if you sit down, take a deep breath and ask your self this question and can have the guts to reply honestly then you have more information about your use of this narcotic than you had before. Unfortunately addiction is primarily genetic based in terms of susceptibility. It has nothing to do with morals or strong will or any of that stuff. It is a disease that takes control of ones life. but if we take these meds as ordered and not get into the craziness of which one is stronger (that is for the MD to know) your chances of having this environmental trigger to your genetic pre disposition for addiction stays low. We all range from little risk to very high risk of addiction when exposed to these products. Being educated and wary and smart goes a long way in preventing addiction, but I believe at some point in a genetically predisposed person to addiction life-.regardless, they will have to face this defect and will triumph or fail. or, if never exposed to the environmental triggers of addiction (almost impossible thinking of what we can get addicted to) will go through life unscathed. Again it has more to do with luck of the draw than moral character or will. Good luck to all..
