Why is it I can never feel the effects of morphine like i can with percs or vicodin no matter how many pills I take? I can take 2000 mg of morphine pills and never feel it.. if i take say, 1 or 2 percaset 1000 mg i feel the full effect of it- feels real good.. why is that?

If you took 2000mg of morphine or 1000mg of oxy, you would safely be dead in the er.

The 1000mg on the perc is NOT the narcotic dosage, its the acetaminopine (generic tylanol) dosage. The oxy dosage is likely 5 - 10 mg with 500 tylonal per pill. Same thing with the codiene dirivative and tylonal on the vicodin.

I have never gotten morphine outside of iv in the hosp, so I am not sure what you are looking at there.



You should NOT mess with narcotics if you dont know what you are doing. You CLEARLY dont have a clue.

Take it the way you are rxed or go to med school and get a clue.

[B][I][COLOR=darkred]Depending on if the pills are controlled release, sustained or if you have just a straight pill will determine whether or not you feel the effects of it.[/COLOR][/I][/B]
[B][I][COLOR=darkred]Morphine in pill form is less likely to produce a 'high' unless you use it intravenous.[/COLOR][/I][/B]
[B][I][COLOR=darkred]Vicodin is a synthetic form of Morphine as well as most of the other pain killers out there. These synthetics are [U]MUCH[/U] more dangerous and therefore more unpredictable. [/COLOR][/I][/B]
[B][I][COLOR=darkred]Be careful. You may also be building quite a tolerance if you're taking as much as 500-1000 mgs! [/COLOR][/I][/B]
