"the current lore is that 15mg morphine and 20mg of hydro are equivalent." Lore is the perfect word...those equivilancy charts are very deceiving. actually downright garbage, if you ask me. you really won't know how any narcotic will affect you until you actually try it. i have seen people get violently ill on codiene, but tolerate oxycodone just fine. i do know that morphine and demerol can effect you very differently in terms of sedation, pain control, nausea, etc...each person is an individual with individual brain chemistry, hence, the lowest dose rule applies...
