MS Contin vs Oxycontin

Most people don't get euphoria from opioids. It's either in your genes or it's not. If I were a doctor, I would not prescribe them to people who get euphoria.

My experience from over 20 years of pain management, I've been on everything. If your switching from oxy to morp, you will be disappointed. Oxycodone is much stronger. I've made the switch many times, currently I'm talking 8mg Dilaudid 4-5 times a day and mscontin 60 twice a day. Since Oxycontin and Ms are time release, you will be much happier with an instant release as well. When I was taking oxycodone 30 instant release 5 times a day, I had to take mscontin 100 3times a day as well, now that I'm talking Dilaudid 8mg. 4-5 times a day, I can only take mscontin60 2 time's a day. This is the best combination I have found to work best. Getting a good instant release along with the time release will work best. Oxymorphone is also a good instant release, but you may find it hard to find. Dilaudid is by far the best instant release available by Rx. The only other thing that will work as good as diludid is heroin. Since the government has seen to it that heroin remains ilegal, and until the US catches up with the rest of the world, and makes it available to people that can benefit from it, it's a big risk to get it at desent pureity with out Breaking the bank and getting arrested, Dilaudid is your best bet. And with insurance, you can get a 30 day Supply for next to nothing. And stay out of jail detoxing. Trust me....

I switched from 60mg of oxycontin to 75mg of ms contin plus I take dilaudid 4mg for breakthrough. Is there any difference from the amount of pain med in my body? My guess I was giving the equivalent of oxy to ms.

I have FM and I can't convince anyone how important deep sleep is or that I'm not getting any. I have a watch that records it and I may get 22 minutes or 1:15 in 8-10 hours even if I get 2-3 hours of regular sleep. What has helped you most with your sleeping since you have had FM?

I have my suspicions as to your qualifications to answer this question with any true understanding and knowledge of the subject, either medically or chemically. You didn't bother to proof read your response. That's hardly professional. That alone should warn anyone reading that the author's knowledge about the subject is questionable, at best.

That response is totally subjective. How can you simply assume that some people do not experience euphoria from opiates and opioids when virtually all scientific literature states the opposite?
It's not whether or not a person feels euphoria that determines the predisposition to addiction. It's HOW that euphoria affects the individual. Is the feeling a good one (like the feeling one gets from eating when hungry or drinking when thirsty) or is it more akin to loss of control (like fear unwanted consequences, as in embarrassment from foolish behavior)?
ALL drugs of abuse have similar effects in specific areas of the brain. That's not an assumption; it's a proven medical fact gleaned from years of scientific observation and experience. I can't be certain, but I've never read or heard of cases of individuals who took opiates or opioids and had absolutely no euphoric effects. There have been differences in the strength of the effects as well as whether or not the effects were positive or negative.
Lastly, genetics has been taking the rap for a plethora of diseases, disorders and other simply unwanted behaviors and actions. In fact, not everything can be blamed on one's genetic makeup. Environment too plays a strong role in many aspects of both human behavior and disorders and diseases. Smoking can certainly be blamed for lung cancer. But what is to blame for the cases that occur in people who have never smoked?
Making assumptions without doing the research is bad science at best. At worst it's foolishness defined. Be the former and steer clear of the latter.
