opana er and oxycodone

There is probably some cross tolerance and your doctor applied a 20% cross tolerance factor when converting you from oxycodone to Opana ER. This is to protect you from severe side effects and a potential overdose of the Opana. After switching from one opioid medication to another, most patients require at least one dose titration.

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.

i was on around 130mg a day of oxycontin and i would sniff 20mg of oxy and a opana 40 and i would be on my ***..

It was never a problem untill I took long acting meds and then it did not work as well. I swim, do yoga, and walk and was going to the gym untill I took the Opana ER. and couldn't get out of bed and felt depressed and nauseaus and lost interest in everything. I hope that you spoke to your Dr. about coming off of it so they can hopefully adjust your break through meds.

The Opana Er 20mg is goin to be a lower dose for you. Why didn't they give you 40mg or 30 mg. Seems like your goin to have to get them adjusted. I've been taking Opana er and Opana IR for 10+ years and it's the only medicine that helps me without the nasty side effects. Also ask about getting Koloanipin. That helps me with my nerve damage I have in both my legs, lower back, hips.

I am currently in pain management I have been prescribed most recenlty Opana ER with Vicuprofin, and Lidocaine, but since I started the Opana it makes me too drowsy and I am suffering from Diareaha. I spoke to another person who said that she takes oxycodone and it helps her with the pain and it does not make her as drowsy. I work in a very stressful position which requires me to make snap decisions so the drowsiness does not help and I also sit at a computer most of the day..

The 10% bioavailability of Opana ER *****. Earlier this year, I was at 30 mg twice a day and it worked wonderfully for a month and then things went south. I jumped ship to Fentanyl TD before the new reformulated Opana ER came out and I am glad I did as there are many chronic pain patients across the web saying that it is 50% less effective than the original formula. I mentioned it only because the OP said that Oxycontin OP (weird sentence lol!

I went to a knew Dr yesterday & he put me on Opana ER 10mg 2x a day & Morphine Sulfate IR 15mg 3x a day for break thru as needed. I've been on Roxicodone 30mg 6x a day & Norflex 100mg 2x a day prior to this appt yesterday. From what I've read on here the Opana ER is a good pain reliever after it gets into your system in approx 4-5 days so I'm hoping that is true bc so far I've not had any relief but I'm gonna give it a few more days.

my dr just put me on opana ER 10mg 2x day and 2 lortab day for breakthru...before that was prescribed and taking 4 norco 10/325 daily and was not controlling the pain...i've been in this constant flar-up phase few weeks... i've only been on opana er for 2 days so i know it takes around 5 days to kick in and dr says this mg is a starting point for me and will move up some accordingly...i'm glad and surprised that my pain has subsided some...

t think I would be having this issue right now. I am not an addictive person and I need it for pain but I tried the Opana ER and it worked fine at first so I contnued but started with depression and feeling negative which is the oposite of what my personality is and wanted to sleep etc.... So I went to my Dr. he said to stop them put me on the percocet and told me I would have no W/D which I have the symptoms so I do believe I messed my whole body up by taking the poison!

My doctor is moving me from percacet and oxycodone to Opana ER. I don't know what it is or what to expect.

i just know than `150 of oxycodone is a bunch less than 80 of opana and 48 of dilaudid each day//almost no comparison and surprised that dose of oxycodone gave u any pain relief at all....u got this..

I've been detoxing off oxy's for the last 3 weeks, and have come down considerably. I went to a new doctor (my old doctor moved) and after explaining to him what I was doing he told me that he was going to change my medicine to Opana's both ER and IR. I have not cashed it. Does anybody know why a doctor would do such a thing. I have gone from 360 mg to 120 mg. All I do is exercise, he gave me a perscription for physical therapy that I requested. Can anybody help me.

and people I have talked to that are on the Opana they use the Opana IR for breakthrough with the Opana ER. Have you ever tried Oxycodone HCL (immediate release) 15mg, or 30mg tablets for breakthrough pain? I am on Morphine Sulfate and use the Oxycodone for breakthrough and it works well... until your body adapts to the oxycodone and you require an increase in the dose... that's my only hurdle with it.... good luck....

I recently was switched from Oxycontin to Opana and ever since then have felt like I'm constantly in withdrawal.....Can this be?

i also take Oxycodone 30mg. 4/daily. I am wanting to change up my meds due to high tolerance...any thoughts on Opana ER? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/1021891'>left butt check pain that continues down my left leg</a>.

i take oxycodone, and oxycontin. I build tolerances very quickly, but i never really experience any "high". The only way i know something is working if for the pain to go away. I have been reading on fentanyl and opana. I'm in pain all the time but don't want to have to take a thousand pills a day. I don't mind having different types around depending on my pain level, but i just really want something that works and I can be coherent while taking. Any advice?

With a nod toward the concerns listed in the earlier posts, the closest thing to oxycodone available is oxymorphone, which is sold as Opana and Opana ER. It is exactly twice the potency of oxycodone; I actually prefer it for treatment of pain in the cases that an opiate is required because the ER formulation, at least in my experience, seems to be a 'true 12 hour med' whereas patients sometimes come up short on oxycontin when it is dosed twice per day.

Perhaps taking one 30 mg Opana ER tablet during the day and one 10 or 15 mg Opana ER tablet at night before bedtime is the right way to go. Weathergirl, while the calcs weren't exactly right, I agree with you that the 15 mg Opana ER tablet during the day probably won't be enough and I will still have to take breakthrough meds that will probably end up equaling the equivalent of one 30 mg Opana ER tablet.

Have you tried Opana ER and Opana for break through pain. I know you've tried dilaudid but have you tried Opana? I'm currently taking it and it seems to be doing a better job than what the vicodin does. I have no high's and low's in my body and just feel like the medicine in me all day long, so maybe you can try Opana?

I've been taking 5 percocet 10/325's a day for a year or so. It does great for my pain but I love the euphoria it gives me and motivation. 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.

I have lots of experience with Opana. You won't find many here that do. The absolute best advice I can give you is get off the stuff as fast as you can, in my way possible. It only gets worse with Opana. I got my doc to switch me to oxycodone just to get off the Opana. It's been 5 weeks and I still feel horrid mentally. And in all honesty, it's not even very good at controlling pain. The oxy at a lower dose does better than Opana.
