Default kadian to hydro

Will I have any withdrawals going from 20-40mg of morphine sulphate to 6 5/500 hydrocodones a day? I had to switch b/c I got majorly constipated from the Kadian.

hydro is .6 times as strong as morphine, so you averaged say 30mg of MS compared to going to 30mg of hydro, doing the math that makes the hydro equal to 18mg of MS, so you should experience a titration drop.
