Taking 130 mg of morphine is a very large amount. 160 mg of oxy is also a lot though but if you have taken it for a long time and have a tolerance, that should be ok. However, morphine is different from oxy and you should try a small amount of your morph first before taking the whole thing. Give it some time and when you feel like you can take more, do it. I've known a couple people who could take 120+ of oxy in a day but when they took 200 mg morph (red rocket) they died. So always try a small amount of new things before taking it all, just to see how it affects you. As for the roxy, is it mixed with tylenol? You gotta be careful with roxy/percs when they are compounded with tylenol/acetominaphen. The combo is usually roughly 5( (r)oxy) and 250 to 375 acetominaphen. Large doses (over 3000mg) of tylenol will cause liver damage and/or failure if taken in a 24 hour period.

On paper, 160mg oxycodone P.O. is stronger than 130mg morphine P.O.
However, you never know if your body is more sensitive to one drug than another - and oxycodone is known to be better-tolerated than morphine at equianalgesic doses due to decreased side effects (most prominently respiratory depression and sedation). Add in incomplete cross tolerance, and you may find they aren't so out of proportion.
I certainly wouldn't take 240mg of morphine (which is what most charts equate to 160mg oxycodone) - try the 130mg you were prescribed, and work up from there.
This is all to be careful, since mistakes with strong opioids can become fatal very easily. With its low oral BA, some 40-50mg of morphine will enter systemic circulation, compared to over 100mg of oxycodone. But really, start small, and be careful. Being overconfident with potent full opioid agonists is the stuff obituaries are made of.

I find morphine to be excellent for pain, and longer lasting than oxycodone. I find the oxy to be more euphoric though, and it is more potent than morphine via the oral ROA. I would stick to using the morphine as prescribed since it's not worth chasing a high with it, and in fact I get the same amount of euphoria from 200mg or morphine as I do from 300mg of it.
