Avatar f tn Normally I wouldn't comment on this but I will because it's dangerous to cut Opana if it's Opana ER. If you're running out of your meds early that's not a good sign.
687729 tn?1397992727 I am moving to Knoxville from Michigan and I am addicted to Opana ER. There is only one doctor in Knoxville who prescribes narcotics and Opana isn't helping with my chronic pain, anyway (I have had five back surgeries). I tried detoxing by switching to Dilaudid, taking smaller and smaller doses... Then, an injury in Physical Therapy put me back on my full Opana dosage. I've tried using Kratom for the pain and it keeps me awake. Can the fast-acting Oxymorphone be cut in half?
1895503 tn?1332373374 go as long as you can without anything and just when you start feeling crappy. Just take a half. Keep doing that just cut it in half....hold .....half hold....that worked for me...then see a sub doc. Get subutex NOT suboxone....and take a 1 pill at night half it hold half it hold....and maintain on a chip and break away! Worked for me hope it works for you!
541953 tn?1262586226 Hi, Iknow it has been a few years since your post, i was wondering how you are doing on the Opana ER. I am switching from Opana 30 mg ER to Morphine 60 mg ER.The Opana gave me side effects, dizziness, being in withdrawl if I missed a dose, and it did not help my chronic pain.. I have tried many ER drugs and I am having a hard time finding many of them. Plus my breakthrough meds are also hard to find.
Avatar m tn when i could not find oxycontin i would take opana er 40mg. opana(oxymorphone) is about twice as potent as oxycodone. they are rather new i believe they came out in 2002?
Avatar n tn I've been taking opana er for a while to help with chronic pain. I'm so tired of living on pain medicine and want to stop. Can anyone please tell me what I can expect as far as how long I will be sick and just how sick I will get?
Avatar f tn If the new oxycontin OP worked very well on your pain, I highly recommend talking to your doctor about Opana ER. It is oxymorphone and it is strongest pain medication available in pill form based on pharmacology. The oxycodone in Oxycontin is metabolized by the liver into oxymorphone. Therefore, the Opana ER would be a drug that is very comparable to the Oxycontin, only twice as strong.
1445110 tn?1388209711 I would be mre wary of methadone than opanaer er methadone was developed by nazi germany stays in system very long. opana oxymorphone extended release would be better depending on dosage, good luck.
Avatar m tn My doctor told me that my last drug screening came up positive for Opana ER. I have never taken Opana. How in the world could this have happened? I know many people won't believe me, but it's the truth. I'm just trying to figure out how this could happen. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
1264863 tn?1391118193 My doctor is moving me from percacet and oxycodone to Opana ER. I don't know what it is or what to expect.
Avatar n tn I used these same conservative conversion factors when converting oxycodone to Opana ER in this post. So in truth, the dosage of Opana ER at 5 mg bid is most likely a significant reduction in medication from what was taken daily in oxycodone due to approx. a 50% cross tolerance factor applied - which is a lot.
1331804 tn?1336867358 For the past 4 days, I only needed ONE dose of Percocet (10/650 mg), which was taken in the early morning about 3 hours before my Opana ER dose. This is nothing short of AMAZING as I usually require 3-4 doses of Percocet for breakthrough pain throughout the day. So in summary, I can't believe how well my pain is controlled on Opana ER.
Avatar m tn had neck fusion and now severe back pain...I have been on Opana ER 10mg 3x for about 8 months and I want to escape...I realize I am addicted...my first question...is withdrawal harder if you have been on a drug a long time...or is it harder if you have been taking large doses?...and...do you suggest I taper or go "cold turkey"...I don't know if many of you realize how many "seniors" are on these powerful drugs...
604815 tn?1220102163 I GOT MY HANDS ON A METHADONE 40 MG WAFER. BROKE IT IN HALF AND THE FIRST DAY I TOOK A HALF. 3 DAYS LATER WHEN I GOT REAL BAD I TOOK A QUARTER. AFTER 5 MORE DAYS I TOOK THE OTHER QUARTER AND I HAVE NOT TOUCHED ANYTHING ELSE IN OVER 4 YEARS. ONCE YOU GET YOUR MIND IN ITS RIGHT PLACE, YOUR BODY WILL FOLLOW. ITS NOT EASY BUT ITS WELL WORTH IT.
712802 tn?1274645485 I was switched to 100mg Morphine 2x a day only after 2-3 months is not doing anything after 4 hours for now HE switched me to Opana er 40mg 2x a day the morphine worked while i was at work taking it 1 hour before going to work(Chef) but as soon as my 6 hour shift was ending The pain has become unbearable,now with the opana er I am feeling bad pain during work,I really am not sure what I am Asking,basically has anyone who has severe chronic pain who has to work like me ,I just need some wisdom t
Avatar f tn When we read these post, especially the rare few about Opana and/or Opana ER, it can be so frightening. This has caused so much fear in me, but I have tapered down a great deal. I find the hard thing about Opana ER is that it cannot be cut, so the drop is really significant. Last month, my pain management NP told me to drop from 10 mg Opana ER mg three times a day to 5 mg Opana ER three times a day. In both cases I have three 5 mg Opana IRs to take with the ER.
1264863 tn?1391118193 Anyone taken Opana ER? My doctor wants to switch me from Oxy to Opana ER and I am very nervous about it. Any advice is helpful.
Avatar n tn t know how many 5/325 mg Percocets you were taking a day before switching to the Opana ER 5 mg, but to have equivalent pain relief from the Opana ER, you had to have taken only 2 Percocets a day. If you were taking more than 2 Percocets a day then the switch to Opana ER 5 mg was a step down in terms of pain relieving strength.
Avatar m tn I have been taking Opana ER 30mg. 3 times a day for several months. My doctor has moved to Alaska and gave me 3 months of prescriptions while I find another doctor. When I dropped off the 2nd prescription the pharmacy told me they have ordered Opana several times over the last month and the order has not come. I called every pharmacy in my town and they said the same thing. Tapering is out of the question, so I guess its time for me to stop taking it, and it will have to be cold turkey.
Avatar f tn My body is wired to where I get wired when I take it. My question is would switching to opana er still relive the pain and not give me the wired out and euphoric side effects that I'm starting to enjoy so much? I've heard opana er and ir have the opposite effects.
