Methadone doseage to Morphine

Hammilton · 09-09-2006, 09:53 PM

SWIM takes 35mg of methadone 1x daily. SWIM might get some morphine, but isn't sure how much to get., because SWIM doesn't know how much morphine SWIM'd need for a buzz.

Would 70mg morphine at a time be approximate?

If instead SWIM got Oxycodone how much would that take insufflated?

Thanks!

PS- sorry for SWIMs idiocy, it's just that SWIM hasn't used anything else in so friggin long SWIM forgot these things.

Can't help with oxycodone,but my DR used a 1ml methadone to 3 mg's diamorphine conversion.Then a 1mg diamorphine to 1.5 morphine.However I think 1mg diamorphine should equal 2mg's of morphine and at over 80mgs it should be higher than 2:1.Remember this is my DR's conversion rate.Never trust a DR when it comes to hard drugs.

Yeah, I've used the converters, but they're all so different in giving results. Huge differences sometimes, especially considering chronic dosing.

No experience?
