I took Oxycontin 30 mg er 2 times a day and oxycodone 30mg every 6 hours for breakthrough pain. It was not working. He just switched me to Fentanyl patches 50 mg and I change them every 72 hours (they only last about 60 hours tho. He also put me on oxymorphone 10 mg every 6 hours for breakthrough pain. This seems to help me better than what I was on. Hope this helps.

I sorry man I was like that and the only thing that worked for me was oxycontin 60mg or 80mg three or four times a day and oxyicodone 30mg for breakthru. I can't believe it has a such a bad name it was the only thing that worked for me. Opana is a joke. If you really need the pain gone it's oxycontin.Dont go below 40mg the 30mg ones seem like a placebo. Hardly any effect.

I am currently on Oxycodone 15mg - 4x daily. I have had several surgeries and just started treatment in a pain clinic. This medicine is not completely helping my pain. My dr. told me that she would give me some long term meds this next visit if the current medicine didn't help. Oxycodone works well for me but not at the current mg. My question is this, in the State of Tennessee, can I get long term meds ( Opana) if my dr. ups my Oxycodone to 30mgs - 4 times daily? Just trying to find the right mix for pain treatment. Also, where do I find the "scale" used to help with my question? Thanks

Bryan, You talked about the Fenanyl patch lasting 72 hours. Then you wrote ( I think it's 6 hrs or less). What did mean by that last remark. I use Fenanyl and I love it. Doc your last remark refer to time each dosage in released? I was told each dosage is released every hour.

Chucky--you seem very knowledgeable. I am hoping that you can help me. How much damage does insefilating the Opana do to the nasal membranes? is there much nasal pain involved with doing this? How often would you recommend doing it this way? I have never tried it, but have been tempted many times. I am at my wits end with my pain issues. It sounds as if I try the insuffilating method, I may get better pain control. Correct? Or, at least, a break from the agony.

I was put on Opana 20 extended release; 1 pill every 12 hrs.. I was already taking up to 6, 30 mg a day for Oxy-30 instant relief. My Dr at the time told me the 20 Opana was easily equal to 3, Oxy 30 if there was a way to get past the formulations serious tamper proofing (as I understand it now, its easy to cut them in half but the reformulation still works as a show release.) The Opana instant release (to take the place of the oxys) is harder to get and I don't have any info on that except I have heard people say the ultimate goal if you are not one of those who is really hunting for the euphoric high and you seriously just want to stop hurting all the live long day, have your doc give you the 20 XR Opana with 1 pill every 12 hrs with a 5mg IR Opana up to as many times a day as s/he will. Or a different IR like 10mg Oxy's (??) not sure if those are oxys. They are small round and pink....for break through.
Summary: I started with 2, 5mg/500 vicodin up to 4 times a day then 7.5 / 325 2 a die up to 4 times daily. Then the pinkies (10mg-IR) pinkies' up to 6 times a day then the 30mg oxys (up to 6 times aday...stone and they actually started to amplify the pain!!; then the 20mh XR Opana with several daily 30mg oxys. Now I'm on a balance that is working best for me. 40 mg XR Opana every 12 hrs plus 45 oxys per month to use as needed, 30-mg oxys as needed.
Believe it or not i often times do not need the oxys at all for days on end so as far as I'm concerned the next step will be reduction of some sort until I am down to 20-mg EX Opana and maybe 3 pinkies (really sorry....just don't remember the name!!). No clue if this was helpful or just another diatribe. I'm a proponent of feeling as good as I can with a clear mind. Hope what I've written has been some help; its mostly a hodgepodge of possible combinations....and you just want equivalency. Good luck!
