Too much for what? To be taken orally or injected? It is important to note that the bio-availability of morphine is three times greater when injected. I am by no means suggesting injecting it because of the highly increased risk of death, but a normal oral dose for one person could kill that same person if injected. One thing about opiates is that tolerance can develop very quickly so for a cancer patient who's been on opioid therapy for years 40mg would not be an effective dose. Theoretically there is no "ceiling" on the tolerance on opiates. That being said, one with little or no opiate tolerance 40mg could be too much. With such a vague question it is hard to give a definitive answer. All I can say is that if you do start to feel the symptoms of narcotic overdose (can find symptoms online) get to the ER and they will give you an opiate antagonist which will reverse the effects of the opiate. It's a very effective antidote for opiate overdose so be aware of that. I'm not going to be like most people and say don't use it because I doubt that would to any good if you've already decided to, all I can say is be safe. Opiate addiction is no joke as I've been fighting it for years, so just be careful and keep it in check.

How many cc in 6 mg of morphine?

The strength of Morphine depends on the concentration of the drug. If 6 mg Morphine is the prescribed strength, a little over 1/2 a cc of Morphine 10 mg needs to be administered. Morphine is supplied in 5 mg/ml and 10 mg/ml ampules. CW: For water, a cc is (just about) a mg. For stuff dissolved in water, a cc is about a mg. For Hg, doesn't hold.

What is the highest mg Percocet?

The morphine. What you're comparing is 10mg of oxycodone vs 60mg of morphine. Mg by mg oxycodone is a bit stronger than morphine, but 60 mg's of morphine would be about equivalent to 40 mg's of oxycodone, which would be four of the 10/650 pills. I don't have a conversion chart in front of me, but this is a pretty close estimate. Even though 4 of the Percocet would be equal to about 60mg of the Morphine you dont want to take the Perocet for a long period of time because it is only 10mg of oxycodone and 650mg of Acetominophine which you are told not to consume to much of because the liver damage it will cause.
