Hey dale1007,
60mgs of percocet per day is approximately equal to 4 to 4.5 mgs dilaudid per day. If you are use to taking percocet at 60mgs, you probably won't notice much difference in feelings of euphoria though you may get better pain relief with the dilaudid.
Hope this helps,
Laurie

Laurie is spot on. I just want to add that those feelings of euphoria and well being usually disappear with tolerance. Since you have been on opioid medications for a long time, it is very unlikely that you will feel those effects unless you go to a very high dose that could be dangerous. If you are taking pain meds for those kinds of "feelings", you are taking pain meds for the wrong reason and will be very disappointed as those feelings go away very quickly early on in opioid treatment. You may very well get better pain relief from the Dilaudid but better pain management should be your goal. It makes me nervous about a person who asks about feelings of euphoria and feelings of well being as those are the effects that addicts look for.

I did not want to mislead you I was not on Dilaudid during any time near (before surgery) my chronic pain did not start until I had other problems starting around 2003.
