Here is a newer (as of this post) Opioid Conversion Calculator (same disclaimers apply) developed by three pain experts, based on latest up-to-datest medical evidence, for Practical Pain Management (PPM).
The first link is the introductory article that discusses conversions (tables, calculators) in general and this new one specifically, including background information, safety concerns, and special cases like methadone. I encourage everyone to read it before jumping to the calculator (There WILL be a QUIZ! ) PPM Launches Online Opioid Calculator Thereafter, the direct link is: Opioid Calculator Doc

This June 2012, Science News has a very interesting article on
specific sodium channels in the peripheral nervous system, that may be targets for non-opiate blocking drugs eventually. This may lead to the development of pain relieving drugs with few side effects. http://www.sciencenews.org/view/feat...e/Hurt_Blocker
