Hi Everyone,
Please - can any pharmacy knowledgable people tell me what would be the equivalent of 80mg of oxycontin three times a day (240mg daily) if i have to change over to kadian (morphine) ?
i'm so scared bc i've been taking the oxycontin for severely terrible pain for a long time- years now - and my appt isn't for a few days. my dr is out of town and not seeing patients until the day of my appt.--i have to wait - i called:( i don't even think i was short, maybe one day or so.
Anyways, does anyone know how much kadian i should take and what the dosing schedule would be?i have kadian- 100mg caps and avinza 90mg and 60mg. The avinza lasts for 24 hours and the kadian is taken twice a day. Also they are both expired, is that ok? avinza was from 2004 and Kadian 2005. i hope they're still good !!!!!please God.
Please asap- i already took my last oxy about 1-and-a-half hrs ago and afraid of having panic attacks. i have no short-acting meds to take if i mis-calculate and i have to go to work tomorrow (Sun) and Mon. too.
i'm getting desperate and will be so thankful for accurate equivalent dose info.
Best wishes to you in your situations also. Life is so hard so much of the time.
tears,
kerriaThanks so much
