Opana Er Reviews (Page 2)

My dr wants to put me on Opana ER. Has anyone else been put on it, and if so, what are the results?

REPLY

REPORT

Well, I tried it and I swear it was like going through withdrawls. I had the shakes, chills, and the Opana did nothing for the pain. I was not sick, I had no fever, and my Doc insisted that giving me 45mg per day down from 75mg with the oxycodones (thats 5 per day) was the same dosage. It was like taking just over the counter tylenol. It was horrible for me. Now that I have detoxed a little, I asked to be taken back down to the Perks 10mg with the time release morphine 15mg to sleep but nothing seems to ever really take my fibromyalgia pain under a 5/6. Guess I am just different somehow. If anyone here lives in Colorado and has a good Doctor please let me know, I need a new one, mine just doesnt listen. Thanks

I live in northern ky and seems to me that these doctors are freaking out about giving me my meds. I wish that they could walk in my shoes. I think by the end of the day they would throw in the towel. My question is does anyone know of a doctor in northern ky or cincinnati that could help me? The doctors are running scared for some reason.

sounds like you have a sensitivity to narcotics. I have had this happen off and on. I would suggest sticking with fast acting,shorter lasting meds like percocet or hydrocodone...something like that. The whole shortness of breath just freaked me out and i was afraid at some point it would be worse. I have had issues taking something for a while, then out of nowhere this odd reaction (as i call it ) kicks in. I had a doc explain it to me like this. You take something for a while just fine ten one day out of nowhere, your body sees this medication as an enemy and attacks. I havent found anyone to relate to this and it is frustrating because i have a torn disc in my back and narrowing disc in my neck. I was on the duragesic patch for a while. It was too strong but i gave it a chance. I began having this "reaction" after being on it for two or three months. I was so sick. I went to ER, I was withdrawing!! The doc even said so! I had a patch on and a bag full of em in hand i took to er with me to prove. My body had began to reject the medicine. So weird but a pharmacist told me anyone can develop a reaction at anytime out of nowhere. I would love to hear more about your situation.

Opana ER has been a blessing for me. I've try many of extended Relief drugs and it's the only one that brought my pain under control; all the other either didn't work, or made me very sick.! I'been on it for four months, and I can enjoy life the way I used to before my two surgeries
except long disantance running, but I thank God I can walk.! Ifyou haven't tried it, give it one. It's too bad that in medicine there was a drug that fits all that have to endure pain for a long time.

I have been taking oxymorphone for about 2 years now. I take 10mg ER twice a day and it is a wonderful pain fighter!! I researched narcotics online and then suggested oxymorphone to my dr because, like Michael, I was sick of being almost non-functional on Fentenyl and before that oxycodone. I do get 2 5mg oxydodone's per day for breakthrough pain but oxymorphone works so well for me that I don't need much breakthrough med. I will say one thing..........when my doc started weaning me off oxymorphone because she was scared of all the agencies hounding doctors these days, I suffered badly. She was taking me down very slowly and after a month gave me 1 5mg oxymorphone per day. I was very irritable, had pain all over my body, crying all the time, horribly depressed and lots of stomach pain. At age 66, now that she has restored my dose to the original, I hope I can stay on it for the rest of my life. By the way, I have never gotten a raise and don't even need one! We have an agreement that as long as I don't bother her for dose increases she will not force me to go to pain mismanagement........where they told me right up front there would be no narcotics. I am not a drug seeker nor a partier..........been there, done that and if I was I certainly would not have asked for oxymorphone.....there is no buzz from it. They wanted to inj. my joints here, there and everywhere.........to which I said there will be no inj's. So......they prescribed a creme consisting of ketoprofen, lidocaine and dmso. It worked great for about 5 days..........it was a bit inconvenient getting up around 3am to apply the creme to my shoulders and sometimes knees..........and then after a few days it didn't work as long, and eventually it had the same effect as rubbing water on. I thank God that He answered my call of suffering and I'm back on effective pain meds. So go for the Opana/oxymorphone but only for pain, not for a buzz. : ) For anyone withdrawing from whatever, and having restless leg syndrome, ask for Pramipexole Dihydrochloride. It completely takes it away!

I am wondering if the generic opana will help with severe nerve pain. I've already tried the Neurontin, Lyrica,Tramodol. And a few others. Nothing seems to help and I'm in constant pain. My insurance only covers generics.

Look up the manufacturer, call them & ask about patient assistance program. I did it with Purdue & got my OxyContin 80mg free every month through the mail. They will ask for proof of income and other requirements but if you qualify you should get them either dirt cheap if not free and if you prove emergency need and unable to afford they can get them to you within 3 days. I can't gaurantee all that but give them a call and try.

I have been taking 3 80 oxycontin for approximately 10 years however about 4 years ago my doctor switched me to opana (sorry don't the mg's). I took it for one day and I was dizzy sleepy and my computer was blurring. I had to leave work and leave my car at work. The next day I took the bottle back to my doc and asked for the oxycontin back. Opana is a dangerous med. Please be careful, I even had my pharmacy to put it in my file as a med I was allergic to.
