Those opiate conversion tables are FUZZY MATH at best.. There is no real way to determine the toxic level on pts with opiates… this 50 MME MAY BE a toxic level on SOME OPIATE NAIVE PT…but there is no reliable way to determine the toxic level on a pt that has been taking opiates for months/years…. but it is CERTAIN that their toxic level will be MULTIPLE TIMES that of a opiate naive pt.
In this particular situation/pt… it is appear that he/she has been on more than 50 MME for some time.. and it WAS NOT TOXIC for this pt… but this SPECIALIST… apparently doesn’t have the self-confidence to rely on his/her own clinical experience in his/her pts taking opiates SAFELY..
I wonder if this “pain specialist” has any problem in giving pts Epidural Spinal Injections (ESI) using Methyprednisolone and other substances which the FDA and the manufacturer DISCOURAGES the use in ESI as being UNSAFE ?

if 60MME is what they are on and have been then they are already clinically stable
