They are probably both as addictive, morphine I think is stronger, depending on the mg, though. They both are strong medicines for moderate-severe pain. Small doses of Oxycodone are usually combined with acetaminophen (generic for Tylenol), which is usually prescribed for mild-moderate conditions such as mild broken limbs, Back pain, sciatica, after getting teeth pulled, etc. Whereas, morphine is normally prescribed after major surgeries, cancer, etc... more severe conditions, as well as high doses of oxycodone. So yeah, it pretty much works the same depending on the doses. I strongly suggest not to take morphine unless directed by your doctor in case of accidental overdose, or oxycodone for that matter but if you were to take anything, do not take more then 5 or 10 mgs if you've never taken it before.

Will oxycodone and morphine show up the same in a urine test?

Honestly, Yes & NO Oxycodone usually does not come up positive for morphine on a drug test because they have different chemical structures...They are almost identical, so it really depends on the amount that was ingested...A faint line may appear for morphine meaning that the urine is skeptical, but nowdays urine is being sent to labs to confirm a specific drug or drug metabolite...Example : Oxycodone metabolizes in the body as Oxymorphone,, meaning if a GC/MS (Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry) test is called upon, science can detect if a person has used oxycodone...But nowadays they have a sepcific dipstick/cup test for oxycodone , so i wouldn't suggest to continue using oxycodone if you are not prescribed, especially if you have legal problems where you are being drug tested. This is a very, very accurate answer, hope i helped you solve your issue


How good is embeda to 30 roxicone to someone who has been on roxicodone a long time?

Embeda is extended-release morphine (with sequestered naltrexone) and roxicodone is immediate-release oxycodone. Morphine and oxycodone provide similar pain relief if the dose is properly adjusted. Work closely with your pain doctor to adjust the dose and Embeda should work just a well or better than multiple doses of roxicodone.


What if morphine doesn't control my pain?

Morphine is an opiate derivative, the same as Oxycodone. Chances are these will not surpress any pain you have. I just had an emergency apendectomy,they gave me 2 shots through My IV and after 45 minuets I was still in just as much pain. The hospital then gave me some dilauted and that worked great. For some people opiates don't work.


Is MS Contin stronger than morphine?

yes it is. but it will not give u the same feeling as Oxycontin... I myself like the feeling of Oxycontin more than morphine. And the morphine really doesnt help with my pain at all. <3 Tabby <3 There are also a few things that should be noted with morphine, that often doctors are not even aware of. Morphine should NEVER be used for a patient experiencing acute or chronic pancreatitis. I learned this the hard way, as I was begging them to stop giving it to me, as it felt as though it were an acid, burning my stomach. Later, through research on my own, I found out that it is not supposed to be used on patients experiencing that illness. I have also found, through personal experience and that of many others I know... morphine makes me very sick. I start vomiting almost immediately, and the jerking and spasms from the vomiting makes me hurt worse, defeating the purpose! It doesn't make sense, but they can give you morphine more often than they are allowed to give nausea injections in the hospital. I have found Oxycontin, oxycodone, and the other meds in this family to be much less likely to cause the nausea and vomiting.


Allergic to morphine can you take Fentanyl?

Most probably. However, there are subtle differences that may allow you to take codeine. There are other opioids that you may be able to take. Hydrocodone (Vicodin) and oxycodone (Percocet) may work for you. You might also consider tramadol which is totally synthetic. Good Luck.

Is morphine sulfate Oxycontin?

Well, first of all, I don't even know what Oxycontin IS, so I can't answer that for you. Plus, you really need to work on ur grammar :P-Greenwulf kyuu~ ;3Hey greenwulf...the question was for people WHO KNOW what Oxycontin is..duh...and your a big one to talk about someone elses grammar...and unless you've been under a rock for the last 10yrs pretty much everyone knows what Oxycontin is....that is if you ever listen to the radio or watch t.v. even once in a while...someone on here really needed some info and all you did was put them down and try to act superior!...If you didn't know the answer then you shoul've kept your mouth shut and not be so nasty...that person was actually asking for help and you acted like a little B..... ...so maybe from now on if you don't know something keep your insecure snarky comments to yourself!! The Answer to your question is no. Oxycontin, a time released version of oxycodone is made up of just that, oxycodone and oxycodone is a synthetic opiod whereas morphine is not synthetic and different in chemical structure, though in the correct doses the effects can be matched and they are often prescribed for the same ailments, there is however no morphine in Oxycontin, or oxymorphone, contrary to popular street myth, there is morphine in morphine.

I need To take oxycodone for a tooth problem how long do you need to be off suboxone for the oxycodone to work?

the half life of suboxone is 36 hours. So 72 hours would eliminate the suboxone from you entirely. But depending on your dose you could have oxycodone work sooner. Example if your mu receptors are not filled (2mg suboxone or below). But all in all you will have to wait a full two days before the oxycodone will work to your satisfaction, to my expierence.


Does Tylenol help Oxycontin work?

You can take a plain Tylenol (acetaminophen) along with oxycodone if it is plain oxycodone. Do not take too much acetaminophen - if your oxycodone already has acetaminophen or APAP in it, don't take more on top of what's already there.


Is morophine in Oxycontin?

No! Both drugs are derived from opium and are also both opiates, but they are chemically different. Morphine is found naturally inside opium, and oxycodone is semi-synthetic (it's made by chemically altering The Bain (which comes from opium) ). Although they are two different drugs, they do work and feel quite similar. However, most users tend to prefer Oxycontin and feel it's a bit stronger and more euphoric.
