Hello, and thank you in advance for your help. I have looked through the threads and found some useful information in regards to my question, yet I still need a little help. I am currently taking roughly 150mg of hydro a day, however could probably be not sick off of roughly 110. I have 6 days until I get my script for suboxone at which point I will be finally getting off this godawful habit. However things are tight and I am trying to figure out the best way to "make it" until my appointment without getting sick. I have access to 15mg morphine er. I have very little experience with these, taken them once maybe twice. I am not trying to get high during this time just want to stay well. How many of these would I have to take? What is the best way to take them? And by best way I mean longest lasting. Does the way I take it change how long it lasts? I prefer oral and IV'ing is for sure out as I did that with Heroin for 5 years and am so not trying to reintroduce that into my life. What I'm ultimately trying to figure out is, is this gonna be cheaper for me to be on then finding away to keep myself in hydro until then, which as of now doesn't look like it will happen.

Some other background information that may or may not be relevent, I am a female 5 feet tall, 115lbs. The ER's are dark blue and marked 15 on one side and abg on the other.

God I feel like a loser asking this. My addiction got out of control when I began my divorce 6 moths ago and now I have an ex who doesn't pay child support and I have myself backed into a corner and cannot afford to go on living this way. I swear I am not some bum of a mom who doesn't take care of her kids, so please don't judge me. My kids have all their needs met and I am on the road to straightening this back out, just got to make it this last week. Plz help guys!

Also I am new here, so if I broke any rules (don't think I did) I apologize and plz let me know what i did so i can correct it. Thanks.
 
Oral morphine and oral hydrocodone are pretty much equivalent in terms of dosing. However, without defeating the time release, those pills will be practically worthless.
 
Even in terms of just staying well I would want to get rid of the time release? And what would be the best way to break that time release? Can I just crush them up and swallow them?

Thanks for your quick response.
 
I just chew them up (the gel will stick to your teeth and it tastes pretty bad) but I find morphine to last very long and to be pretty good at keeping withdrawals at bay. This does not do much in terms of breaking the time release though, but I actually prefer it to last longer since it keeps withdrawals away longer. I would try 75mg orally to start out with, and give it about an hour before you decide on dosing more or not. Another option would be to take 60mg and try to save the other part for later on in the day so you make it all day with 75mg total. Some comparison charts have oral morphine being a little stronger mg for mg compared to hydrocodone, and others have them equal.

Be sure to allow at least 24 hours or wait until you are in moderate withdrawals before starting your suboxone. Also, suboxone is very potent, and a lot of doctors prescribe more than you actually need, which actually increases your tolerance, and can make it hard to come off of the suboxone. Please read through the Suboxone Megathreads found in the Directory so that you have a better idea of the best way to go about treatment.
 
The subs I understand fully. I have been prescribed them for a while and you are right, they get carried away. Was started at 24 mgs a day and I never have come close to that. I only believe in using subs short term. And never at a doctor recommended dose. They tried having me doing that at 12mg 2x a day. What?? I've never had to take it more than once a day. But thank you. I mainly wanted to get some different opinions on how to take and how much people thought I would need.
 
My tolerance is higher than yours, but I don't use daily, but when I go on 4-5 day a week binges of like 120mg of oxycodone or more, I am held just fine on no more than 90mg of morphine. I can usually get by on 60mg, but I usually take a little more since they are free and my momma taught me never to turn any gifts away. :)
 
Can I (suggest) a blood test for yer' liver ? unless you were CWE'ing...
At the dose you described the acetaminophin could potentially be very damaging.

Morphine will definitely help keep your withdrawals at bay.......just like Tommy stated, try starting out with 75mgs. Crush them & swallow them with a glass of oj or lemonade.
 
Is there a difference then in chewing them up and just swallowing them? Since you said that chewing them doesn't get rid of the time release. I want them to last as long as possible, as I said just trying to keep wd's away as long as possible. Not trying to get high.

OP...if you're just trying to keep from w/d'ing...
then there's no reason for you to try to break the time release...
I'd suggest swallowing 4-5 ..
whole...
no reason to chew them up..
Should be good for 10-12 hours...

You're not looking to get high..
and you won't get high..
but they'll keep you from feeling sick.

Then don't chew them. Chewing them doesn't do anything for a matrix time release, for most forms. It depends on what brand you have and what it says on the pill.

I would be careful with morphine, you really should have a tolerance to even be considering taking more than 30mg. I've seen people get beyond fucked up from one MSIR30mg.

I'm sure they are fine to take that. See below.

Hmm when I was responding to that I swear I thought it was someone other than the OP, I read that part. Well it looks like I need to get more sleep, haha. Also, just in case other opiate naive ppl read this thread I wanted to say something about it.
 
^ Losts of similar threads, like the two hydromorphone ones that I've been getting mixed up with. Still good for people with no tolerance to know the safe dose of morphine though.
 
i would just like to point out..that I read very well..
and that she should've taken my advice..as I am a genius.;)
what else is there to say really?
