Opiate Dosages

I currently take very high dosages of oxycodone 30mg ir and dilaudid 8mg. I think after the process of elimination that my body isn't tolerating the morphine (dilaudid) and I've been on oxy for years. I was on 80mg oc before the op and couldn't tolerate new op because of binder I wasn't getting the needed meds. I need to go off of the dilaudid going to dr tomorrow, I want to be educated and know if I switch over to only oxycodone is it reasonable to ask for the equivalent of oxy to the dilaudid in addition to the amount of oxy I am currently taking? Thank you and FYI I take 90mg oxy 4x day and 16mg dilaudid 4x day and I stagger so that pain is controlled round the clock. Thank you ps what I woul like is oxy equal to dilaudid dosage.

Dialudid contains Hydromorphone, it's related to, but not the same as Morphine.

Learn more Dilaudid details here.

And for each 8mgs of it, you'd need a dosage of 21.33mgs of Oxycodone to be equivalent.

When do you see your doctor, so you can talk about it?

Dilaudid is not morphine nor in the morphine family, It is Hydromorphone, and comes in 2,4 and 8mg tabs, I've been using Diluadids fro apx. 24 years, also concommitaly with morphine 100mg. I have two spinal fractures, inoperable shattered right collarbone they (Doctors) neglected with a shoulder separation to long and al was calcified, and now inoiperable, as the muscles and tendons from my right side of the neck are calcified on the wrong side of the collarbone, it leaves no neck supprt muscles. I've been in severe pain for decades now, and following neurosurgery to fuse 4 discs in the cervical spine as well installing 3 titanium rods, this ned for muscular support is needed mor than ever. I'm in a litigation situation at current so cant delave too much deper. I've an idiot for a primary care Dr. believe after al this he can now delete Dilaudid from my regimen. Hardly as I'm far worse off now than two years ago! Opana, (Norco is crap, don't waste a dime on it or Opana). Methadone sucks a well. Oxicontin, Vicodin or Dilaudid are about it, although Dilaudid is a 3-4 hour drug at best, orally taking about an hour to kick in, works well an hour to two and is gone.
