^The oral BA of Morphine Sulfate, especially in the ER form, is much lower than that of oral Hydrocodone, unfortunately. Deus, if you are more or less Opioid naive, (which it sounds like you are) start low with 30mg or so and perhaps add 10-15mg an hour later if you feel like it's not cutting it.
OP- We need to know more about your tolerance to give you any decent answer. Assuming you have zero tolerance, start by taking only one or even a half of a pill. Also, be aware that Morphine is notorious for causing nausea in non-tolerant users, so go easy on it, especaially if it is in IR form.
depends on your tolerance to opiates, i don't know if the specific pills you got can be IV'ed, that is he highest BA 99% fastest onset... then rectal aadministration 60% approx second fastest onset, then oral 40% approx then intranasal 15% approx from what i remember and IME...
If they are IR technically they can be IV'ed, however from what I've read any other kind; ER, XR, CR, ect. will gel up, and definetly are NOT okay to IV.
DONT SNORT MORPHINE. its a complete waste. If you wont IV it the best way is to vaporize it off a foil or just eat it.
you should eat about 30-40 MG of morphine. the oral bioavailability turns out about equal to the effects of oral vicodin. so if you eat 3 or 4 vicodin 10/325, that would equal eating 30-40 mg of morphine.
yes grinding the pill will break down the XR and make it IR.
The IR morphine "Skenan" we get here cannot be iv'ed... but the ER "skenan" can, it comes in capsules filled with little beads hat you crush up... but the most common, which i think is MS Contin does indeed gel up from what i've heard
Do morphine tabs ever expire or loose thier potency??
They are Morphine Sulphate IR tabs 30 mg. I got them in 10/2006-
Thanks!
Thanks!!
