I am in a confusing debate with my ex husband: Which is stronger, 30 mg of morphine sulfate E.R or 10 mg of methadone?

REPORT

As an opiate addict from Manhattan New York, there's a few things I'd like to mention regarding Morphine & Methadone. First off, I was born in the 60's. During the 70's & 80's opiate abuse was pretty high. It always killed any ailment I had. Later on, I became tired of the chase and got on Methadone. At first I got a slight euphoric feeling and the withdrawals vanished. As I continued to take the Methadone everyday, the only thing it did was kill the withdrawal symptoms and offered next to no euphoric effects. So, is Methadone stronger than Morphine? Yes and no. Here's the thing. If you ask a true opiate patient that's been clean for months this question, "right now, what would you rather have, a 40mg diskette of Methadone or Morphine?" Normally the addict would take the 40mg of Methadone. Here's why, that 40mg of Methadone will last up to two days, with the feeling of bliss and utopia. But, that's only if you are not dependent on it. Otherwise, the effects of Methadone are null if taken everyday. In my opinion Methadone is indeed stronger than Morphine, but they work differently.

150mgs of methadone?! What are you nuts?! That's nearly a gram of morphine. People who are dying from cancer don't need that much. And yes your doctor is right, methadone does cause QT prolongation. I don't understand where patients get off telling doctors what to do. You wouldn't tell a lawyer or accountant how to do his job.

You have a raging addiction and you're no better than the H addicts standing in line getting free methadone.

Sounds like you've got a major drug addiction. There is no justification for such a high methadone dose. There are people who are dying from cancer who are on a lower dose of than you.
I don't understand when you get off telling the doctor how to do his or her job. You wouldn't tell a lawyer or an accountant how to do theirs. He is doing everything to help you.

I would refuse to prescribe you any such medicines you are very very dependent on them.

Morphine is by far more potent than methadone almost regardless of strength! There are opiates out there that are stronger than morphine however, methadone IS NOT one of them. Hope that helps clear confusion.
