Yes, it's considered VERY high. In fact, in most people a dose like that could depress your system.

I have been a long time opiate user because of a chronic pain condition. I am currently considered to be on a VERY high dosage of morphine. I take MS contin which is a slow-release form of morphine in the morning and at night each 60mgs. Then for "break through pain management' I take liquid morphine which is imediately active in your system and kills pain in about 15-25 minutes up to six times a day at a dosage of 80mgs each.

So yes, 750mgs for a single dose is ridiculously high for the MAJORITY of people. It is reasonable to assume a dosage that high in your average person would at the very least put them out (asleep) for hours, and at the worst it could depress lung fuction and cause what people consider an "overdose". Over a longer period of time it could be reasonable depending on whether you've been a long-time user or have a high dependancy like i do.

Hope this helps.

35mg of Morphine is a relatively normal dose. Like a 5mg hydrocodone in that sense. This statement is not proven, do research on the WWW.
