Question by codslick: need to replace 300mg’s methadone w/???mg’s oxycodone, morphine sulphate ir, etc…?
a pms told me if I couldn’t go down from 28 dalaudid pills to 8 per day in the next week he would send me to a methadone clinic. With that he laughed and threw me my script for the week and said I may go while he waltzed off singing some showtune in his extremely irritating, very nasal, and high pitched New York accent! I thought he must be joking! He was laughing after he said it, but no, the script was really for only 8 pill per day!! I don’t recall at all how many m’s those pills were , but other’s had told me I was very lucky to get them. But I was fast learning the very hard way who to believe and who to trust. The next day, a few hours after I took my first 2 of the day, I knew I was gonna be in big trouble. After 3 days I was back in the pms’s office begging for mercy!!!! He gave me a script for one more day of 8 pills and a referral form to any ” methadone clinic” I chose!!??I was scared to death!! I wasn’t a heroin addict!!! I didn’t belong in a place like that!!!!But I went.

Edit:…I finally figured out what you were asking for…LOL I did find a converter at the following website… http://www.chronicpainresourcecenter.com/
Click on Medicine
Next Scroll Down to the green buttons and click on “Opiate Equivalent Program” on the Right hand side
Finally the Narcotic Analgesic converter will allow you to put in the drug you want to convert (Yours would be Methadone Chronic not acute) and then the medicine you want to switch too. Warning: I tested this with 300mg of Methadone and Oxycontin and it said you would need 700mg of Oxycontin to equal that…LOL I don’t think a doctor will do that. Also, doctors can write for Methadone but only the 5mg. and 10mg. tablets. Higher doses as in the wafers or liquid must be given at the clinics. This is a fairly new law. Be safe.
Below was my first answer…
Well, first of all Methadone clinics are not just for Heroin addicts. They treat all sorts of opiate addictions from Dilaudid to Oxycontin. In fact the majority of clinics now treat more patients who become addicted from a doctors script than any other. What I don’t understand is that you say you need to replace 300mg of Methadone with Oxycontin or morphine but you talk about going from Dilaudid to Methadone because a doctor cut you off. When you went to the Methadone clinic did they put you on 300mg of Methadone and you want to leave and go to another pain specialist? Or are you thinking of trying an at home detox but want to know how much Morphine to buy to stay comfortable? Or are you leaving a clinic and going back to pain manage ment and wanting to know how much 300mg Methadone is equivelant to in Morphine or Oxy’s so you can tell the doctor not to screw you? It just doesn’t make sense…What are you on now and what do hope to accomplish? 300mg of Methadone is a high dose (relatively speaking) to come of of and you must have been in a clinic for awhile to get to that amount, so what is the reason you want to quit? Taken properly it is much safer than constantly taking Oxy’s or Morphine because it is long lasting. Maybe if you explain better.
