I am putting these up for reference only. Sometimes people need to look up this information.
Not all conversions listed in tables work for everyone equally either...there is variation. So make
sure you have an experienced doctor when an opiate adjustment is needed.

Fenfanyl is hard to convert either way.
And Methadone has special requirements too.
Since Methadone can stop the heart in sensitive people, you should insist
upon an EKG before starting it. Converting high doses of other opiates to methadone gives a high starting dose which can be dangerous. I have a post
earlier in this thread about that risk.
