Can anyone tell me the difference between what morphine feels like as opposed to methadone? I am taking Percocet and when I go to my pain doc next month, I want to ask him about something with a longer half life and keeping the percocet for breakthrough pain.

I know that he prescribes methadone for a neighbor of mine, but my understanding is that methadone is more closely related to Darvocet where Morphine is more closely related to Percocet. I've never done well on stuff like Darvocet which, strength aside, is why I'm on Percocet.

So, I'd much rather try the Morphine, but I'm not sure how he's going to approach it. What are your experiences? Do you feel a difference between the two? Did/does one work better for you than the other?

Thanks for your input.
