Post Hello..

We just had this question:

http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread32980.html

Conversion from fentanyl to oral meds is often difficult.
Because fentanyl is so strong it is difficult to find appropriate doses
of oral medications. Doctors tend to err on the lower side of dosing. On that post are some conversion tables.

At first glance it appears that your morphine is not strong enough.
So you would be having some adjustment problems.

I think your need a conversation with the doctor. Read the tables, and that
will give you an idea of how complex changing pain meds can be.

Good luck.
