Avatar f tn Depending on the dose of Opana you will be taking it should still give you the euphoria as it is a stronger opioid than oxycodone; however, I would recommend you to be careful with it, and take it exactly as prescribed (don't split the pill in half or crush it to remove the time release coating) as you will get the full dose all at once which could be dangerous.
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 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.
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!
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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 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 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 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 t going to be strong enough during the day so we agreed that I would take the 30 mg Opana ER in the morning and a 15 mg Opana ER tablet at night. I have enough brand tablets to last 2 months since they were originally prescribed for twice a day. I picked up the 15 mg generic Opana ER this afternoon. My doctor agreed to switch to taking two generic 15 mg Opana ER tablets during the day versus one 30 mg tablet once the brand tablets run out.
Avatar f tn I ALSO WELCOME ALL THOUGHTS, AS TO HOW I MIGHT HAVE A HIGHER CONCENTRATION OF OPANA ER IN MY SYSTEM, IN TIME FOR MY 7 DAY FOLLOW-UP..... There must be a way to show I'm taking this medication!! I've asked about the blood test over the phone, the day after I was reprimanded, WITH NO SUCESS OR COMMENT ABOUT IT!! I EVEN ASKED AN ER DOC., how the Opana ER, could possibly, NOT SHOW IN MY URINE!! HE replied, I don't know, YOU TELL ME?????
1895503 tn?1332373374 It's good to hear you're doing fairly well. I've been on Opiates for a spinal injury for many years. Currently i'm on Opana ER 40mg (x2/day) plus Opana IR 10mg (3x/day) and it's barely taking the pain level down anymore. The most I cold detoxed was 48 hours, and I can't explain how awful it was at that last hour before I took a pill.
