HI I am in WA state also and have to wait for a pre-authorization for my Opana, I only found it at Fred Meyers in my area. The question I have for you is, how is the change working for you. I was on 30mg Oxycontin twice a day and am being switched to Opana 10mg ER twice a day now. I am concerned because the dosages aren't equivalent. 10mg of Opana seems to be equivalent to 25mg Oxycontin. I deal with a lot of pain and would llike to know how it is working for you. I am nervous since I have such a hard time getting any pain killers to work for me and I am also 6 weeks post op with a total left knee replacement.

More details about these drugs here:
Oxymorphone (Opana):
erowid.org/pharms/oxymorphone
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxymorphone
Oxycodone (OxyContin):
erowid.org/pharms/oxycodone
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxycodone
Read the dose panel for each, and experiences on Erowid, pay attention to HOW they ingested them, though, that has a lot to do with it. Read reports from people with similar ingestion to your preferred method, and the dosages they took, duration of the effect, and the written 'experience' report.

one thing I can say is Opana 10 ER has no generic so it will cost u alot. I have good insurance and the copay is 54.00. Another thing is that with the 10 mg er Opana 2x a day is that it does not take nerve pain way. It is good for continuous action of taking the edge off but in no way will it relieve it completely. I live in colorado and i had to go to 5 different pharmacies to find it at all. I was taking oxycodone 10mg x2 every 4 hours and it did not touch my pain. The stomach upset with opana is much better. Oh and for break out pain colorado does not have the drug i was perscribed, it is going to arrive friday so eventhough the drug papers tell me that if i eat one or cut it up I will die (more than 3 times) I am forced to cut one tab into 8 to 10 pieces for the acute pain episodes. I am aware that my comment covers a few different issues I thought I should respond anyways. I like this medication bc many DRs thought I was drug seeking so I ended taking too many tylenol and nsaids so I have liver and kidney damage not severe though. I am grateful that I have found a Doc that wants to help me as one of the other posters mentioned. I do not think you can compare opana and oxicodone ect bc they are made to act differently so mg is a non issue. I am sure someome will call me a dipstick but I have not seen this one point mentioned before just what is stronger

My doctor has had me on oxycontin for a very long time. Went to get my script filled and no one has it and pharmacys are saying that the manufacturer is on back order, so I had my doctor write out a new script and she wore it for oxymorphone 10 mg......again, no pharmacys have it, does any one know where I can get it?

In Ga you can get the generic of Opana ER 40 AND Opana 10 IR which is what I have to take for break thru. I had spinal fusion on 4 discs and major nerve damage from it. I Didn't know if I would be paralysed. It is alot stronger oxycotin but does make my head hurt at first.

I am currently prescribed oxycodone 30mg 6x daily plus morphine 30mg 2x daily for many pain issues. I have been on the oxycodone for 8 years now. I was once prescribed 15mg of morphine years ago & stopped it b/c it didnt work for me. Even though im on 30mg of the morphine now its the same its not working. I was thinking of asking if my doctor could switch my morphine to opana's. Not sure if he will but does anyone else have any suggestions? Thank you

They have newer technology that can detect what medications works best for your body as an individual. My mothers pain doctor did a DNA/(genetic) evaluation - the nurse basically swabs the inside of both her cheeks (a month later they were able to tell her which pain med works best for her without having to try this try that do this do that... Her short term IR and long term ER was showing that they both metabolized at a normal rate BUT that her Soma was rapidly metabolizing in her system making it less effective for her to be taking this medication. Zanaflex, a muscle relaxer alternative showed that her body would be more effective in helping her because the medication was found to metabolize at a normal to immediate rate. My suggestion to those who have multiple things wrong and no matter how many pain meds you take... You are always in pain... Request and or ask your doctor about having a genetic/dna evaluation done on you ASAP

If you have a tolerance for opiates then opana needs to be a higher dose. I had the fives for break out pain and tens for all day relief and they barely worked. now I am black balled frm all the pain docs in colorado springs and it is only bc I asked for something different.

OxyKing Says:
You should really read previous posts. I get 15mg Opana and I would rather have 1 Opana than 3 30mg Oxys. Opi's are stronger and last MUCH longer. Oxys have a 4-6hr half-life and Opi's are around 34hrs half-life. All that being said, if I had to take it PO I would always pick the Oxy!

Medicare wil cover it if you DR does a prior authorization. I know mine did and I take it daily the real deal.
I like percoset 10 times better than oxy and they make me sleepy but he will not take one oxy away and up my percoset does to 10 a day instead of 8. My insurance or Medicare will pay for 12 A day but he says his limit is 8 to keep DEA off his back.
