I've had 6 major back surgeries, 20 screw's & 2 Herrington rods put in my back, all since April 1st, 2008! And screw's in my left and right hip! My back is constantly hurting! I've also had 3 spinal infections, and now have 1 that I have to take antibiotics for the rest of my life, and I am only 52! I am also a guy, 6'4" tall, so I have a long back!

According to the opioid conversion chart at Virginia Commonwealth University (vcu.edu) MS IR and oxycodone are the same equivalent. SOME in the medical field are now calling it different BUT there is NO AGREEMENT on the subject. It VARIES GREATLY from patient to patient. I DO KNOW what I am talking about since I have been taking 180mg/day of MS IR for over 2 years and my pain mgmt. doc has tried everything on me. Within the last year I have made several significant lifestyle changes that have allowed me to reduce my pain medication intake drastically, including eating better and meditating. BTW, you have to meditate for more than 15 o0or 20 minutes/day. Try at least 2 hours/day. After about a month you start making significant strides, so don't give up.I have taken 30 mg of oxycodone 180 mg per day and it did very little for my pain. The best combination I found for the pain is MS IR for breakthrough and methadone for the chronic pain. Now I am down to two ms ir PER DAY and NO methadone. If your "PAIN SPECIALIST" like some of the posts I have read here lets you suffer for years without trying everything available please do yourself a favor and get a different doc. ALSO, BEWARE OF SOME PEOPLE ON HERE WHO THINK THEY KNOW EVERYTHING LIKE THIS ONE WHO I NOTICED KEEPS TELLING PEOPLE THAT oxycodone is 1.5 times stronger than ms ir. That is what SOME IN HEALTHCARE say BUT NOT ALL!!! DO LOTS OF RESEARCH AND REMEMBER EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT. THANK THE STARS THAT MY PAIN DOC KNOWS THIS!!! SHE IS AWESOME.

Hi, I took oxycontin starting at the lowest, I think it was 20 mg, but I know I went up to 40 mg, didn't work, then 60mg, didn't work, then 80mg, also didn't work. This was twice a day just like you. Then my Pain Management (PM) doc switched me to methadone and it worked. Hopefully you have a doc who realizes that everyone is different when it comes to pain and that you should start our with the minimal amount and go up from there until you can find what works for you. If you do not, then I suggest that you find yourself a competent PM doc. I was also switched from oxycodone to morphine sulfate immediate release (IR). That did the trick and then I got heavy into meditation and eating right and was able to stop methadone altogether and drastically reduce my morphine to almost nothing. But I am talking about meditating a minimum of two hours/day and you have to give it four to six weeks for results, but hey, it's better than being on pain pills. I still have pain and I am ok with about a 3-4 level of pain without pain meds. So I was just switched to 10 mg oxycodone 1 one every four hours prn (as needed) from my last rx of ms ir tha was 1-2 30mg every 6 hours prn. You just have to try different things. Opana and dilaudid DID LITERALLY NEXT TO NOTHING for me. WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT and that is what a lot of doctors DO NOT UNDERSTAND!!!!! I hope this helps and good luck to you!!!

She'll be fine. If she starts to feel like she's getting sick. Give her milk. Which will line the inner lining of a stomach. Or if it's really bad I guess you would have to get her stomach pump. Sorry to hear that though. My fiancé did the same thing and felt very sick. I gave her a cup of milk, told her to lay down on her side. 30 min later she was fine.

Oxy is 1 1/2 stronger than morphine sulfate. So the equivalent of 30 mg of morphine is 20 mg of oxy.

Please be respectful of all opiate medications. If you are hiring your head on a coffee table or burning things with smoking materials consider you may be taking too high a dose . Please talk to your Doc. I you OD you harm everyone in the pain community. I need my meds I have RSD a gift from a druged driver. Your need can change up or down. Pain meds don't stop all the pain they lower the amount. Please be careful !!!!!

Your continued pain might increase depending on which antibiotic you are on. I am permanently disabled from taking cipro for an infection!

Both are good meds and both are strong
Mg vs Mg the Oxycodone is stronger by about 1 1/2 times dose.

My research has taught me that a lot of people require a much higher dose of morphine simply because it doesn't work as well as the Oxycodone for that person.

For me Morphine just does not work on my chronic severe pain. For others Morphine works just fine. Different drugs do different things to most humans. Good luck

She'll be high af feeling good but will probably start itching like hell. If so have her take benadryl for the itching, my dr told me to take them whenever I itch from those.

If 20mg oxy is equivalent to 30mg morphine then 50mg is, of course stronger than 20mg oxy. But years on morphine only left me very lethargic and unable to function, so now I take 1/2 morphine and 1/2 oxy. That is just my experience. Everyone is different.

I'll add to what you said, oxycodone is 1.5 times more potent (analgesically) than morphine. Listen to this man, he knows what he's saying.

Yes. If you are used to taking narcotic painkillers. They are actually prescribed together in certain chronic paun cases. However, everyone is different so always be careful when using more than one opiate/narcotic.

Morphine " MS Contin " SUX.... I had to switch to a new pain Dr and at that time I was taking 4 30mg oxycodone a day, my new Dr put me on the morphine 30mg twice daily and oxycodone 30mg twice a day for break through pain, it has been a living nightmare!! The morphine makes me feel like I'm going to crack up!! Very agitated and nervous , went back to him today and gave them back all of the morphine for them to dispose of and he gave me Opana 10mg twice a day and when I got to the pharmacy my insurance wouldn't cover it without prior authorization which could takes days or even weeks or could be denied all together, I went back to the Drs office to let them know that my insurance wouldn't pay the Opana and could they give me something else, I was told by the hateful lady at the front window that the Dr said I would have to wait to see what the insurance does about the Opana, I left that Drs office empty handed after I had given them all my morphine to despose of,what can be done about this kind of treatment?? I am livid!! I've never been treated this way and I've seen a lot of Drs. I have Lupus and rheumatoid arthritis and sjrogrens syndrome and I suffer 24/7 with Cronic pain, I'm ready to take legal action for this type of humiliating treatment...

I would like something stronger like Dilaudid. However, anything oxy is gonna be stronger than hydro or morph... oxymorphonine or oxymorphone w/e is strong... Again, I will not be able to function... I work hard. If u are just taking meds to get messed up than take a lortab (hydro) and five to seven shots. Do not attempt. I have and was lucky to wake up. Furthermore, tolerance is a factor... being resistant to pain I need a lot... I am responsible (aka alive). It is your choice not mine... Be extremely careful if you are allergic. And if the bottle says not to drink grapefruit, do not take it with grapefruit. Usually it's also alcohol. Good luck with it your pain management.
