I need to switch to one of these meds, Opana isn't covered on my insurance, the MS is, are they the same or is one better than the other?

No, they do not contain the same medication, MS Contin contains the active ingredient Morphine and Opana contains Oxymorphone.
The Opana is a much stronger medication, for instance, just 6.67mgs of it is equal to a 40mg dosage of the Ms Contin, so you have to take much less of it.
However, since there is no generic, it is also much more expensive and since you can get a dosage in the Morphine that may help, you may find it makes more sense to go with the one that your insurance will cover, even though the dosage will have to be higher.

I have been taking MS Contin 30 mg 3 time daily and have been cut to 30 mg 2 times daily, would opana be as effective and is it cost effective to switch to the opana? from what i have read it seems that 10 mg 2 times daily or 15 mg 2 times would be better as the MS isnt working like it used to? How expensive is Opana 15 mg 60 count?

I really liked the Opana, but if you have insurance restrictions, like Medicare, stick with morphine. It is still the gold standard for pain relief, and least likely for addiction Opana costs roughly $500.00 per script cash, and can be difficult to obtain due to the cost. Many pharmacies do not carry this on a regular basis due to the cost.
