Most conversion will have oxycodone 50% to twice ... a 30 mgs of oxy a day you would need 45-60 mgs of morphine to obtain the same relief. Morphine is more sedating ... than oxy but that usually gets better. But because morphine is an opioid and oxy and hydro are synthetcis opiates ... s truly testing to see if you might be allergic to morphine or opioids.
Morphine is no more addicting or causes ... hydrocodone. In fact, when it comes to class 11 pain meds, morphine is the weakest when you compare pain meds mg to mg...
