Hello, Mark! How are you?

There is no direct conversion, it can vary depending on what dosage of Morphine was being taken and the individuals tolerance to opiates. For example, where it would start at would be a 2mg Morphine to 1mg Methadone ratio, for someone that was taking less than 30mgs of Morphine, but it can go as high as a 20 to 1 ratio, is someone were taking much higher doses.

The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

What dosage of Morphine is being converted?

If you have nerve pain methadone is the best but in most States you have to be a clinic to administer it so most doctors won't give it to you but according to my neurosurgeon it's the best for nerve pain the second fastest morphine stay away from Fentanyl
