New Pain Killer Opana (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I was just prescribed this medicine and do not feel very comfortable taking it. I would like to know if any one has tried this drug and how did it work. I was previously on oxycontin and the Dr. just changed me to this. Also i am allergic to mophine, alot of people have told me including the doctors that i work for that i should not take this due to my allergy. I have not filled the prescription and the Dr. that prescribed it has not called me back yet. Please give me any answers from anyone

I have no scientific proof of this, only my expieriance. I take large doses of gabapenton for nerve pain. As strange as it sound, this medication seems to lesson withdrawel symptoms to a tolorable level for me. Just a thought

I correct. It is MG NOT Grams. I have come to one conclusion. Those who say that Opana doesnt wover their pain is obviously stating that they arent getting the rush that Oxycontin provides. Opana more than covers your pain. As a matter of fact I guarantee that once I say this you'll all of a sudden (mentally) think that Opana is better than Oxycontin. It takes 2 oxycontin to equal 1 opana. Therefore 40MG's of Opana equals 80MG of Oxycontin. SO if you take 40MG Opana ER twice a day, it is like 2 80MG Oxycontin.

I am so sorry for the loss of your cousin, my 20 year old son died from one of these pills given to him by a friend. I doubt he had any clue he would die from this. There is all together to much pain medicine given out in this country to people who truly do not need it. To think that a 20 year old could get his hands on this murder pill is unbelievable to me.

Opana er 20mg. is the best pain medication i have ever taken, it works great!! If your doctor is willing to put you on this medicine, let him. You will not be disappointed. i have been prescribed oxycontin 80mg. x3 a day and they do not work as well as opana 20mg. x2 a day

Coloradocitzen I am just floored that you couldn't figure out that if you only saw the dr once a month that you took years to figure out that the scripts he wrote for you were to last for the whole month until you saw him again for a rescript.
did you NOT read or understand the pain contract that you most surely had to sign, stating that meds would only be given once a month and if you took them all beofre the month was up that well 1 you are SOL and 2 you have broken the contract by taking more then what was told to you to take daily in effect causeing you to run out of the meds.And if there is or was no pain contract, I am from Colorado also, who and where is your dr ? I don't like the one I have now.Because of he's asst mistake I have been without anything for 5 days now until tomorrow if Ieven get any then cause of he's medical asst and her not understanding what i had said about break through pain meds and the amount taken.
Myself with the Opana Er use, I take 40 mg a day,twice a day and have had very good pain relief with it,still have the nastey break through pain though by the afternoon, and this cooler weather makes it worse.

hi this is my first time doing anything like this! ok i have been on oxy ir and oxy er for several years now for numerous congenital bone problems. i had searched for years for someone to help me and by the time everything was diagnosed and determined to be unfixable even with surgery the doctors were more willing to treat my pain. for years i was on vicodan and was never told a rx was suppose to last 30 days so naturally when i ran out i would have withdrawls wich i thought was part of my sickness. it took me years to figure out it was wd, and that this small amount was suppose to last 30 days!! but now that ihave been on the oxys for awhile things have been so much better for me. i got the op pill this last time and since i take mine orally i thought there should be no problems with the coating, i was wrong.. i have been having gas and stomach discomfort along with little bouts of wd every morning because they do not last as long and they take awhile to take effect.

I have been on Opana for awhile now and what I was told by the Dr. and the hospital is that Opana is not Morphine. If you are really worried about it maybe call your pharmacy and ask them because they would know either way. I guess what is your allergy to morphine because if it wasn't life threatning I would way the odds.

I have been on many different pain meds in the last ten years and by far methadone is the worst to have to withdrawl from. My question is I am on 40mg of Opana twice a day, 10mg percocet up to 6 a day and 4mg Dilaudid up to 6 a day. I had a procedure done about a month ago and I was in a lot of pain so the Dr. said for me to dubble up on my Opana for a few days or so, so I did, but now I am short on my Opana because my insurance won't let me fill it four days early. So if I have my percocet and dilaudid will I go through major withdrawls?

You see, the problem here is NOT the drug, but the people who take the drugs expecting to feel the same. It DOES NOT give you the rushing high of Oxycontin or percocet. It is sad because these people are typing but its the part of the brain that loves that rush actually doing the typing of it doesnt work, etc.. THE MIND IS A POWERFUL THING FOLKS!!!! It is proven to be much stronger than Oxycodone so how can someone say that their ORIGINAL pain isn't covered. withdrawal is a powerful motivator... God Bless. BTW I have been there, done that so please don't feel that I dont get it or tlaking out of my A&#&

to Pissed: I have been taking Opana for over 2 yrs, and I think it's a wonderful medicine for people who suffer with chronic pain. I am sorry about the death of your cousin, however, the drug did not kill your cousin, your cousin killed himself. It is impossible to keep people that want to do drugs away from drugs. People have been looking for highs for ages, and probably will not stop. Besides pot, any drug that is taken in large doses will kill someone, Opana is a time released medicine that is meant to be released over a 12 hour period, and if a person takes off the time release then they will get the entire dosage at once, therefore, causing them to overdose. Once again, I am sorry, but do not blame a medicine that has helped thousands of chronic pain sufferers.

I was taking 40mg opana er bid for nrarly 2 years but had been able to cut down to one per day day. I decided to stop taking it altogether and by day 2 I was hit with paralyzing depression, insomnia, loss of appetite and morning diharrea. It's day 7...this withdrawal is slow and terrible. I feel like a zombie. Although my mood has lifted a little I feel hollow and am unable to perform routine functions. Does anyone know when one starts to feel normal again?

Yes I totally agree with Madman. Subutex and Suboxone only prolong your withdrawal symptoms. Because the half-life on Subs is way longer than regular pain killers (about 37 hours max) you feel fine for days after taking it in some cases.... and then when the s**t finally wears off you're in for all the withdrawal you can handle.

never ever take subutex(buprenorphine) or suboxone( buprenorphine and naloxone) if you are on strong pain killers even if you are withdrawing buprenorphine and naloxone specially together brings on withdrawals faster and more intense than just waiting for your next dose of painkillers !

Opana is deadly! This drug killed my 22 year old cousin. How is it this is not watched more carefully and gets onto the street? Not accepetable! Some one needs to step in and put this to a stop!
