100 Mcg Fentanyl To Opana Er 40mg

Updated

My pain specialist switched me from 100mcg of fentanyl to 40mg 2 times a day of opana ER. Was this the right conversion? I went through withdrawal for 3 weeks and I'm still in a lot of pain.

Fentanyl is currently the stronger opiate available, so no, it is not equivalent and it is normal to experience withdrawals and rebound pain for awhile, according to FDA reports.

Has there been any change, yet? You might need a dosage adjustment.

The FDA warns that these medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.

I was just switched over from opana 40 mg twice a day to a 50 mcg fentanyl patch. Can you still get withdrawals from the opana?
