oops forgot the rest! as I said I have been on methadone for several years now 60 mg per day. I have full blown cronic hep c stage one fibrosis, osterperosis, fibromayalga
severe back trouble and who knows what else at this time! I started out on oxycodone 40mg three times a day and had to switch to methadone due to cost of meds. I recently was in a car accident and tried to go back to oxy's, my doctor put me on 40mg three times a day as before. This is not working as after three monthes by body still hurts from the methadone. I am considering going back to methadone however 60mg per day no longer helps. How do I convert back, and what would be the mg. I should consider to discuss with my Doctor. or due you have another suggestion as i deal with alot of breakthrough pain inbetween the methadone doses. remember i have no insurance waiting on social security.
PLEASE HELP!!

Wow, it seems weird that your doctor has trouble converting from one to the other. I found a medical article though, that lists how to convert and shows the appropriate math equations to use, here:

Can I try it ?
