Substitute For Oxycontin 40mg Daily

I am facing major surgery in four weeks time and I am fearful that the same will happen as in a similar operation last year. Cold turkey during recovery and no one would listen. I want to die.
If they give me more morphine. Would that work.

Yes, it could work, but only if they give you an equivalent dosage.

Oxycodone is stronger than Morphine, so you would require a higher amount of the Morphine to equal what you currently take.

Thus, if you are on 40mgs of Oxycodone, to prevent withdrawals and handle your pain accordingly, you'd need 60mgs of the Morphine.

Is there anything else I can help with?

It helps a lot as I dreaded that the same experience might again. I will ask for a plan that must include the correct dosage of morphine e.g. 60mg.
Are you speaking from personal experience or are you an expert in the field.
Thanks again. I need all the assurances out there as I face the operation. The last time, the recovery was hell.

I having major surgery next week ,and I'm terrified even my doctor told me the pain will be very extreme for a good month or so , until a good amount of healing happens. I'm taking 40mgs of Xtampza ER 2a day witch is complete garbage just like any other time released meds nowadays! It's unbelievable what they now give us for pain even when having major surgery it's so wrong on so many levels. Now instead of just a couple days in the hospital I will be there at least a good week or more hooked up to Morphine, real Morphine liquid or Dilaudid because the meds I normally would take at home won't kill any pain.
