Which Is Stronger 15mg Ms Contin Or 15mg Oxycodone (Page 4) (Top voted first)

Lynn Says:
I wonder what the difference is between 15MG MS Contin vs 15 Mg Oxycodone. Is there a substitute for MS Morphine..I take 2 30mg MS Contin twice a day and also with that I take 15MG MS Contin twice per day..which of course is 45mgs at a time..with 3 15mg Oxcodone for breakthru pain. I was taking 20 mg Oxycontin 3 times a day etc. But my insurance wasn't paying for the oxy. So what I take now is paid for. Do any of you have any suggestions of what would work better for the pain..since I changed to morphine it doesn't seem to do the trick..this is long..but any answers would be very appriciated..Thanks..

Oxycontin is much stronger than MS contin by about half.
If you are not getting adiquate pain reliefe talk to your doctor, don’t ask people on the internet, that is just dumb!
Use your head, the people responding to questions like this are usually stupid!
TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR!

SWITCH DOCTORS!
If your doctor doesn’t listen to your complaints and address them to your satisfaction the best thing to do is fire them, and hire a new one, your doctor works for you!
Use your head!

Duaa,
Dilaudid 4mg is way way way more powerful than ms contin 15 mg.
There isn’t much out there stronger than a 4 mg dilaudid in a pill form, with exception to the new 50 mg hydrocodone.
I think you have no idea as to the difference between immediate release and sustained release. Look that up it will teach you allot about medications.

You are wrong tramadol is not like oxycodone or opana nowhere near it is barley an opioid it has opioid properties but it is not addictive it's also only an s4 drug not even controlled at all you cannot be high or addicted to tramal/tramadol

You are totally wrong as well. Why don’t you people just look up these drugs and read from the manufacturer. Tramadol is a narcotic antagonist. It is NOT an opioid, but it works on the same brain receptors as opioids do. It is addicting. One must carefully tapper off it. Tramadol is dangerous, I think it shouldn’t be used by anyone except the people that need it because of problems with narcotic addiction.

Get your doctor to give you the Fetonal 27mg patch. I was on it for 2 weeks, the pain went away and I became Joe Zombie. Took myself off of them.

ManyDoctors, unfortunately, are afraid of the DEA that is stands before their oath as Doctors. I've seen it as well. The lesser strength drugs draw no scrutiny. So, easier for them. Especially if you are in a area with known drug problems. Not fair to a valid patient , but true.

I tried MSContin for a month or two, but I found it did not treat the pain as well, and it caused more drowsiness...like at a red light ....I have determined by the way, that the Oxycodone tabs present MUCH better pain relief than OxyContin ..many attribute this to the chemical changes made to lessen the abuse of the "Contin"
I know I certainly know the difference.

Thanks Sarah, I had a Local Doc suggest Methadone once as he was too afraid of the DEA ro prescribe Opiods. But the one time I spoke with a lady with spinal issues that was on Methadone she was a Zombie !!

Yes its so wrong that the dea has no idea about the real people with chronic pain. I have no idea what to do. I just again went trough the runaround. What about quality of life. Just wanna live. My condition is inoperable and drs don't care. I'm a speck on the planet.

The only reason that lady was a zombie was probably cause her dose was way to high, I don't think you should goo above 80mgs if you are trying methadone.

Hi, I'd also like to thank you for your explanation. I'm another one whose under that radar. I can't say that it's easy. But I've been on the same dose & milligram for a very long time. Because it works for me personally. I'm prescribed that extra one IF needed. However it's Very rare that I ever have to take it. And if I do? I call my doctor because that means my Lupus or rsd/crps is out of control. I also like for him to know what's going on.
I also take chemo so it's imperative that he knows any changes I make in my meds. Even if it's that extra pain med as my Dr. And I call it he gives me a day.
Anyway once again, Thank you for that post. I enjoyed the way you explained it. I sure could've used that explaination about a month ago. When my neighbors son had an issue. Very sad story.
Everyone have a good day.
