Thanks so much! What you posted was quite accurate and very helpful for me today. I've been out of my MS Contin for the last 5 days because of the windstorms we had. My mom & pop pharmacy is still without their phone and Internet services and I still couldn't fill my scripts. No other pharmacies will fill them either.
I'm hurting tremendously today and a friend gave me one of his but I didn't know how many mg's I should take. I was able to cut it in half and have some for later!

RE: "Morphine vs OxyContin strength comparisons"

According to a clinical study done by NIH on the relative potency of controlled release oxycodone vs controlled release morphine in post operative pain - OxyContin was reportedly twice as potent as Morphine CR in a single dose. They also go on to note that upon switching from Morphine to Oxycodone, an initial Oxycodone dose of one-half the Morphine dose is recommended.
