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.

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

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!

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!

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.

Been taking a combination of OxyContin 40mg 2x daily new formulation for three years along with 30mg IR Oxycodone for break thru pain 2-3x daily. Out of completely nowhere I go in and my dr discontinued the 30mg IR OXYCODONE all together and I was in bad shape he switched me to the same quantity OXYMORPHONE 10mg IR and I get no pain relief so I went in again and said it did not work so he said he will put me on 15 mg IR morphine sulfate 3x daily for BREAKTHRU and since I have to wait for that to be approved thru insurance he put me on Dilaudid 2ng three times a day and it's not working at all should I stay on Dilaudid and ask to raise the mg or should I just try this morphine IR AND POSSIBLY BE MISERABLE since I suffer from chronic pain do to a spinal thoracic lumbar fusion and a second surgery that was failed and has me in ten times more pain than I've ever been in. Idk what to do. Any advice would be appreciated thanks

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.

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!

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.

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
