Opioids Safe amount of Morphine to IV

[BackSeatSuicide]

I am used to parachuting about 120 to 180mg of Morphine and for the last few days I've IV'd 2 x 16mg Dilaudid, and tooken a 60mg morphine on top of it, and was completely fine, I have a pretty good tolerance, and it was a nice high too. But I've never IV'd morphine, so i was wondering, based on my tolerance and the amount I am used to taking. would IV'ing one 60mg morphine be ok for me ? I figured I would be, but I just like to double check these sort of things for safety sake, cause I enjoy my life and dont want it to end quite yet hahaha. so I should be ok IV'ing 60mg of Morphine right ?

Try 30mg and see where that gets you. Oral morphine is roughly 30% BA.

well if I'm used to taking 120to180mg crushed up, then should 60mg be no problem ?

Start low, it's better that you feel nothing rather than getting sick.

Try 45mg if you want to be risky.

60mg IV = ~200mg orally - since that's more than you usually take, you should not IV 60mg. Be safe, 30 or at most 45.
