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.

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.

∙ 13y agoHello,
No morphine is not stronger than oxycodone ORALLY.
However if taken IV then morphine is probably slightly stronger. This is because morphine has a very low bio avalilability rate.
Oxycodone is a better pain killer in general and will work better, it is 1.5-2 times as powerful.
The high from morphine is in my opinion more sedating and euphoric than oxycodone. Oxycodone giving the user a energertic high with less of a typical opiate nod.
