@JD & Bell22,
Because no two drugs are created equally, there is no one-size fits all approach to determining proper pain management protocol and drug equivalency between any medications. In regards to methadone and morphine, I believe your best bet is to contact your prescribing doctor (who should've provided you with dosing instructions from the start). I hope you both find the level of relief you're looking for, but making questionable dosing adjustments without your prescribing doctor's supervision could turn out to be a dangerous move. If for any reason you can't get ahold of your doctor, I'd at least call a local pharmacy who may have someone present that can immediately assist you with this matter.
It takes 4-5 30mg extend release tabs to help me. But they last for 8-10 hrs usually. I was on 90 mg of done for about 2 years. Recently started going to the clinic again
I'm currently on 135mg methadone and missed the clinic today but have to work tonight. How many 30mg morphine tablets would I need to be without withdrawal at work tonight?
