i have been taking opana 40 for years. yes, this new opana is not working even taken the correct way. can anybody tell me if they are now on dilaudid, does it help with the pain i take two new opana 40 2x daily. it doesn't help with pain but it seems to make me tired to where not only am i dying in pain, but i am tired to where i can't seem to get up and do anything. does dillaudid make you sleepy. when i took the old opana it not only helped with pain, but i could get some things done around the house.
i feel like i am losing my battle with pain, and losing my girlfriend because i never want to go anywhere or take care of OUR house. She says this is not true, maybe it is just me feeling sorry for myself
Sorry, but does dillaudid help anyone.

It's also possible that it may be causing some depression that's making you feel that way, so it may be a little more than just feeling sorry for yourself. The same thing happened to many people when the formulation of Oxycontin was changed.

As to the Dilaudid, it contains the active ingredient Hydromorphone, which is a very potent narcotic, so by its very nature, it may cause some drowsiness. However, when they gave it to me via IV pump in the hospital, it actually didn't cause me to get drowsy and most other narcotics do.

Learn more Dilaudid details here.

It also effectively treated my pain, at a very low dose, compared to the others.

This is just my own experience, however, you'd need to try it for yourself to see how it works for you.

Are there any other questions I can help with?
