Which Is Stronger 15mg Ms Contin Or 15mg Oxycodone (Page 7) (Top voted first)

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..

I agree, MS contin 15mg is not as effective as the 10mg norco that I take. It seems to be an insurance issue.

Oxycodone is actually one and a half times stronger than Morphine. So, for instance if you were taking 20mgs of Oxycodone, at a time, to relieve your pain, then the equivalent dose in Morphine would be 30mgs.

As to something stronger, you may want to talk to your doctor about the Fentanyl patch, it is also available as the name brand Duragesic and it is over 80 times stronger than the Morphine. One patch lasts for 3 days.

It is also a narcotic, so the side effects are pretty much the same as what you are used to, nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and constipation.

You can read more details on it here:

Is there anything else I can help with?

Your insane thinking tramadol is strong!
BTW tramadol isn’t a narcotic!
Tramadol is a narcotic antagonist in other words it stops the effect of narcotics!
Look it up rather than look like a moron!

Ultram aka tramadol is similar to morphine. It hits the same receptors in your brain as a narcotic. But technically isn't classified as one ....yet.... Many states & the US Military are trying to change that because it is addictive.
It does treat pain. & is used to treat pain.
It's a good pain medication for people who dont need something really strong. Like oxycodone n opana. However we all react differently to all medications.

I used to take 60 mg dihydrocodeine, 100 mg tramadol & 60 mg cocodamol 4 times daily but about a year ago they were replaced with 50mg MS Contin 2 times a day, along with 1500 mg methocarbonel, 200 mg paracetamol & 50 mg Diclofenac. The latter meds have worked well but recently I am beginning to get significant break through pain, can you please offer a suggestion. My medical condition is a spinal injury & deteriation, I do not react well to gabapentin as yet I have not tried pregabalin.
