Question by codslick: Need to replace 300+mg’s of methadone w/???mg’s morphine sulphate ir, Oxycodone, etc.is there a guide tocompar
Is there a guide that compares one drug to others in its category? There must be a conversion rate for one opiate to another somewhere out there!! Would my pharmacist have something like that??? I bet my pain management “specialist” knows all about it and has one available , but will only refer me to the local hospital detox/rehab clinic for 2 or more months of hell!!!Back when I was still at the methadone clinic and I finally realized I didn’t have to go to a “clinic” and didn’t have to go to the only one that had a spot open that was 45 miles away from me!!! I called and went to the first dr I could find who would help me with this methadone problem.I didn’t care at the time who it was or how good they were, but if they prescribed methadone I was happy!! and they took medicare!!!What a bonus! Not having to pay the $ 200 every month that I didn’t have, and especially trying to drive all that way in my condition!So now I need more to kiil the pain enough but dont want to take anymore be

You are playing with fire my friend.
Yes, you are right doctors and pharmacist do probably have the conversion charts, and they also have the knowledge and training to do so.
The only place know it alls end up, is not so pretty of a place.

No one likes to jump through the hoops for their medication, but its just one of those things. The excuses you give are hardly worth your life.
I urge you to consult a physican at least once to get all of your doses worked out, that wouldn’t be too bad would it?

Good Luck and God bless

There is a conversion rate, it’s like an equation and takes into account, gender, age, size, weight, medical history. Normally, methadone is given daily to patients in rehab, so you need to see a doctor daily about it. Buprenorphine can be given as a “take away” when the patient is considered to be stable with methadone.
