so my dr, had me on 20 mgs of percocet(two pills) every 6 hours.
now he put me on 15mgs of oxycodone every 6 hours, with 20 mg morphine sulfate er(kadian) every 12 hours.
which is stronger?
bcs its day two and im not feeling anything from the morphine yet.
at all.
what is the equilvalent im getting out of that? like a gram of oxycodone every hour?

I'm too lazy to do it now, but oxycodone is stronger than morphine orally by a factor of about 3 to 2, plus your morphine is extended release so you don't get it all at once.
Also, oxycodone and percocet have the same active drug; main difference being your old med, percocet, contains APAP (tylenol) which is hard on your liver.
 
Your new regiment is definitely more medicine than the straight oxy, and should provide better pain control as well. Personally I didn't like Kadian, but that's bc I have GI issues along with pain, and the Kadian wasn't even enough for me.
 
Oxys are too short acting imo.
But true 2-3 stronger than morphine..

*this kadian is not doing anything*
i told him i was on dilauid (synthetic morphine b4) 2 mg and it did nothing for pain. so he put me on perc 5mg and that actually helped.

im sitting here on my new regiment and im just feeling nausious, nothing esle.
20 mg of morphine sulfate is ike only *12mg of oxycodone*
so every 12 hours thats only a mg of oxycodone an hour...
like i said, when i was on percocet 15 mg every 6 hours it helped.
alot.
*bcs i was on perc 10mg every 6 hours for 2 years, from traumatic injuries. i was hit by a car crossing the street, it hit me going 50 mph, shattered my leg, im 2 inches shorter on the left, and walk with a cane.*

i wrote this wrong, im re writing this.
 
15mg Oxycodone and 20mg MS Contin (Kadian) will be better than just 20mg Oxycodone.

It's a higher amount of opiates and the MS Contin will also work on some opioid receptors that the Oxycodone wont.
 
I think so too.
Or maybe it could be because of the dose (?)
