Both morphine and Percocet are used to treat moderate to severe levels of pain. The difference between them is that morphine acts on its own whereas Percocet is a combination of acetaminophen and oxycodone.

What is stronger morphine 60mg or percocet 5mg?

I am surprised by this question since it is a easy one but, Morphine is by far stronger. Percocet is based from Morphine, heroin is also based off of morphine. But they both have different feelings when taken but the morphine of that mg will blow a Percocet 5 away.So basically the Morphine allow stronger.


Is Hydocone and morphine in the same drug category?

Basically, yes. Percocet is a combination of oxycodone hydrochloride and acetaminophen (Tylenol™). Morphine, like oxycodone, is in the opioid family. Addition by Echo646: Morphine is stronger than percocet, however, and it can be more addictive and more likely to cause dependence, so even more care should be used when taking morphine. Every other opioid is judged by how well they treat pain compared to morphine.

Is it safe to take a 60 mg morphine to combat percocet withdrawal?

Morphine will reduce the withdrawal symotoms, but will do nothing toward detoxing from the percocet, since both are opiates. You will simply go into withdrawal again when the morphine wears off. You need to be detoxed in a medical setting.


Any problems with switching from 30mg of percocet to 30mg of morphine?

There's no such thing as a 750MG percocet. A 5/500mg percocet has only 5mg of narcotic, and 500mg of Tylenol. The 750mg you are refering to is the amount of Tylenol in the percocet, not the amount of narcotic. However, morphine and percocet can be mixed at low doses. I just want to add that yes there is an es form of percocet called ultracet.
