I know this subject in general has been discussed over and over before. But for whatever reason the search function wasn't working correctly for me and the few pages that I found that discussed this issue had opinions that were all over the place.
Basically I'd like to know what different people think oral 50mg(5mL) of liquid methadone would be equal to. You can compare it to oral morphine, oxycodone, hydromorphone, buccal fentanyl, etc.
I know there are plenty of conversion charts and calculators online but I prefer first hand experience.
*side note- I inject VERY high doses of hydromorphone(40mgs) 3 to 4 times a day and I use 2 or 3 of the 37.5mcg/hr Fentanyl patches buccally each day.*
I'm trying to find out how much 50mgs of methadone will help me since I am out of my usual medications(I've been prescribed them for about a decade for a severe spinal problem that causes constant intractable pain.)
Any input is appreciated. I apologize if for some reason this post needs to be moved or deleted. It's been a long time since I spent time on BL so I've forgotten some of the rules.
Thanks ?
