I believeOxymorphone would be the closest Legal Opioid in Strength; if used in combination with oxycodone (which metabolizes into oxymorphone) Oxymorphone can reach 200 times the potency in relation to Morphine (although due to its lack of metabolitic absorption in it's current legal form, you would have to have to use it in it's IV/IM form plus oxycodone as a metabolic primer in order to reach the full potency of oxymorphone). It sounds like a lot of experimentation and work so if you are using fentanyl be cautious because it is a 100 times stronger than morphine without experimenting with mixtures. Although Methadone is about 10 times the potency of morphine the half-life (length of metabolism in the body) makes it another dangerous narcotic. I hope I shed some light on your question, and I hope you are not taking a combo of the above drugs mentioned. Also opioid dependency is a life long battle, and if curiosity for the sake of knowing is the only purpose that's OK but if you are fighting the painful fight there is help and people who care and know what its like ; ) .

∙ 14y agofentanyl is 100 times more potent than morphine. that is if your talking about the fentanyl lollipops. methadone is just a drug geared to help addicts be weened from heroin. or to keep people who take painkillers legitimately from getting addicted.

∙ 13y agoDilauded(the incorrect spelling and answer to your question please see the following for the correct answer) Dilaudid or it's proper name Hydromorphone is a narcotic that is about five to eight times more potent than Morphine. Fentanyl on the other hand is about fifty to one hundred times more potent than Morphine. If you are going to answer someone's question you should have facts to back up your answer. Dilaudid (Hydromorphone) 1.5 mg = Fentanyl 0.1mg (100mcg). The proper answer to your question is that fentanyl is the most potent legal narcotic but all narcotics have pluses and minuses and it's up to you and your doctor to figure out if you need narcotics and what kind work best for you.

Is Fentanyl stronger than vicodin?
YES...fentanyl is much stronger.
Is Fentanyl stronger acting than morphine?
Fentanyl is the strongest opiate, and is approximately 100x stronger than morphine.
What is stronger 100 micro grams of Fentanyl or 85 mg of methadone?
100 micro grams of fentanyl is stronger than the 85 mg of methadone.
Is Fentanyl more potent than morphine?
Yes - as a synthesized opiate, Fentanyl is the strongest opiate available, and is 100x stronger than morphine.
Can you use Fentanyl and marijuana?
Not even close; Fentanyl is 100 times stronger than morphine. Marijuana in any form is like aspirin compared to Fentanyl.
What is stronger Opana or Oxycontin?
Extremely - a single 100mcg/hr Fentanyl patch (good for 48-72 hrs depending on the patient) is equivalent to an overall Oxycodone dosage of 202mg per day, or about 9mg Oxycodone every hour for 24 hours. The average Oxycodone dose is about 10-20mg every 6 hours. Fentanyl is the strongest opiate on the planet at 100x stronger than oral morphine. While it is normally used as an anesthetic, it's used in transdermal patches as a timed-release pain med for severe pain patients.
Is carfentanil stronger than methadone?
Carfentanil is an analogue of the popular synthetic opioid analgesic fentanyl, and is one of the most potent opioids known. Carfentanil, the generic for Wildnil (the combination wild+nil being apropos), is an opioid used in special cases to tranquilize very large wild animals when combined with the sedative Xylazine . Dangerous even with animals, carfentanil is not for human use. This synthetic drug is 100 times stronger than fentanyl; 10,000 times stronger than morphine; 40,000 times stronger than heroin. All things being equal, therefore, as methadone rates in strength between those of fentanyl and morphine, respectively, carfentanil is vastly more potent than methadone without the long-acting effect.
Which narcotics are stronger than 100mg Fentanyl patches?
Fentanyl is roughly 80-100x stronger than morphine. It is often used with benzos for surgeries. It is only prescribed for home use for those who are opiate tolerant, in otherwords, those who have been taking high doses of opiates for long periods of time, due to moderate to severe chronic pain. Use by those who are not opiate tolerant is extremely dangerous, and many people have died from abusing Fentanyl, just like any drug. Fentanyl is very safe for those who use it as prescribed and for a valid purpose, but is definitely not something that should be used by someone to, 'get high'. Abuse happens with this narcotic, just like with any other drug, but the likelihood of addiction is small for those using it as prescribed.
Is Fentanyl natural?
No - Fentanyl is a synthetic opiate, and was first synthesized by Dr. Paul Janssen in 1960. Though typically used as an anesthetic, it's also widely used in transdermal patches for severe chronic pain. It is also the strongest opiate, being 100x stronger than morphine.
Does Fentanyl cause pinpoint pupils?
Yes it does. But not to the extent that stronger opioids do. It is much weaker than oxycodone, morphine etc. Constriction of pupils is most common when somebody overdoses on tramadol.
What is equivalent to a Fentanyl patch?
When used IV, they often start with 50 MICROGRAMS of Fentanyl for pain. If needed, they go up to 100 MICROGRAMS. In contrast if they are using morphine they give 1 MILLIGRAM then go up to 2 MILLIGRAMS. 1 MG = 1000 MICROGRAMS. So doing the math, the fentanyl is 20 times more potent (50 x 20 = 1000) The main difference is fentanyl wears off in an hour whereas the morphine will last 2-4 hours. Fentanyl is used in anesthesia, for pain pumps and epidurals where you need fine control. If you overdose with Fentanyl a single dose of NARCAN to reverse usually is all you need as the Narcan lasts longer than the fentanyl. If you over dose with Morphine you might needed repeated shots of the Narcan because the Morphine lasts longer than Narcan. The biggest danger of fentanyl is powdered fentanyl can be quickly absorbed thru the lungs or skin.
How strong is Fentanyl compared to hydrocodone?
Fentanyl is 80 to 100 x more powerful than morphine. a three day dose of fentanyl is 1 to 10 mg.
