Okay this is what I hate about these sites, NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THE HELL THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. Click the link below. It will take you to an opiate calculator. How it works is it tells you how many milligrams of morphine your specific medication is equal to: nyc.gov/html/doh/html/mental/MME.html. So for s***s and giggles I used my current medication which is a 100 mcg patch of fentanyl. (Because the patch gets changed every 2-3 days you don't enter how many you take a day) This Patch equals 240mg of morphine per day. Then I entered 30 mg of oxycodone and in the number per day I entered 5 and it showed me that 5 30mg oxycodone is equal to 225 mg of morphine per day. So the 100 mcg patch has gives you more opiates than 5 30 mg of oxycodone. Now to compare the 30 mg of oxycodone to 15 mg of Opana (oxymorphone) I entered 30 mg of oxycodone and I entered 1 time per day and it showed that 30 mg of oxycodone equals 45 mg of morphine. Then I entered 15 mg of Oxymorphone (Opana) and then I entered 1 time per day and it also gave me 45 mg of morphine so 30mg of oxycodone = 15 mg of oxymorphone (Opana). Now the problem is if it is ER then you are getting the 15 mg of Oxymorphone over a 12 hour period which is about 1.25 mg of Oxymorphone per hour which is about 2.5 mg of oxycodone per hour which would be like half of a 5/325 Percocet. In this case the 30 mg oxycodone (not OxyContin) is going to be 12 times stronger than the 15 mg of Oxymorphone because the Oxymorphone is being spread out over 12 hours whereas the oxycodone is immediate release.

So many questions and responses are over pretty long periods of time so I've no real certainty that this msg will reach the one person who seemed to be on my track. I'll just say I'm directingI this towards 'Chucky' who is in a thread above the"possibly related" add'l responses. So, apologies for an entire paragraph qualifying what I'm trying to say to a post more than 1 and 1/2 yrs ago!!!!!. Chucky, plain and simple, my PCP is a Dr who doesn't think his patients should have to suffer pain. His' motto' is 'Not On My Watch!'...and no I'm not giving out his name or location. 4+ yrs ago (?..just not sure on exact timeframes? ) he decided to add a REFORMULATED narcotic - Opana.- to my pain mgmt plan (folks don't seem to remember or just don't' know that Opana was killing people right and left in the early to mid-90's so it was yanked off the market for a good 15 yrs maybe --? and I could be ALL wrong about the dates of all of this however the story is true!!.)
So, my Dr added Opana (now at 40 mg ER, one every 12 hrs) and reduce Oxy's aka Roxy's from six, 30mg IR pills every 24hrs to three, which is still pretty hefty but is working beautifully for me. I walk, I talk, I play, I work and feel great in general. But this isn't suppose to be about me. It is suppose to be about drug comparison. My PCP told me that the equivalency between a 20 (not 40) mg ER Opana, twice daily and the oxy's/roxy's was 180mg. 20mg of ER Opana equates to 180 mg of IR Oxy. Opana at 20 mg ER, 1 dose, = 180 mg of IR Oxycodone. (I just want to make sure I'm clear on that)
This info is/ was only as good as the powers that be thought at that time. Why is it that no-one will step out on that limb in today's world and just give a simple comparison? Is it because it's really not that simple? What IS the answer? I would really like to know. Many thanks for the time and thought you and anyone else may put into any response!

I suffer from VERY SEVERE chronic pain. [I was hit by a semi truck, while driving on the highway, and I'm perm disabled.] I take Opana ER 30 mg twice daily & can Tage up to 6- 10/325 NORCOS for break through pain. I don't get any narcotic side effects, which is fine with me! All I want is to not be in pain & this is the ONLY combination that works for me. I hope this helps!

You DID mean 3-4 hr half life of Opana correct? Which is still short. It is more like 5-6 hrs.

After being on different meds for 8 yrs or so, I feel like the oxycodone helps. I take oxycontin 80 mg. These are the only ones that seem to help but not much helps anymore, so I am going for the surgery.

There is generic form of Opana er. It's called oxymorphone er. Your pharmacy may have to special order it.

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!
