What Is Stronger - Dilaudid Or Opana? (Page 2) (Top voted first)

Updated

What is stronger, a Dilaudid 8mg or Opana 10mg? I was taking Dilaudid 8mg every 6 hrs for six months and then the pain would come back in three hours. My doctor has switched me to Opana 10mg er and this is the second day... I am in so much pain. How long will it take for Opana to be effective? I'm suffering, help.

If he's specifically checking your metabolite levels, then yes. He will absolutely be able to tell you're dosing up on your own.

Please go online and look up red vein kratom; get some and take 3 grams in hot water with honey, then go to a narcotics anonymous meeting. There is help for u there for every problem u have. May the lord bless you.

Dilaudid's mg are small in Number but the more powerful of the two. I still have 40 mg opana's which I did not appreciate in it's rubberized reformulation. I'm sorry you are in So much pain as the change was not to help but more of the governments regulations which does not give a darn for legitimate folks with chronic pain. Still researching as to what WE. Can do,. If anything at all.

WOW just wow. I have no idea how you even function at all. Your hospital story is a good representation of my last 3 surgeries and a 4th unrelated stay. Hospitals suck. I was extremely lucky to have a great aid after my 3rd surgery who was a godsend. He had been a teacher and wants to be a PA. Most other aids have been like $8 hr workers who couldn’t get into the MVA.

Sadly the rules have changed. Doctors used to be able and write the scripts with nobody questioning them. Patients didnt question, pharmacists didnt question and the government didnt question. Now we have one too many pharmaceutical companies that have made huge mistakes and back treading. We have the govt telling the dr what they can or cant do. We have patients that talked with a friend about meds that worked or didnt work for them. We have the t.v. advertising meds so we as the patient are armed and ready to tell the doctor what we think he or she should write for us. Doctors often aren't even aware of new drugs unless the salesman is stopped by the office to hand out pamphlets, pens, lunch and if its not scheduled the many free samples. I dont blame dr for not wanting to write the scripts. They would rather push the writing off onto the pain clinics. Most doctors arent in private practice and the insurance has to be outrageous. I cant imagine what it must be like for them. I truly think in most cases most doctors dont agree with all thats going on. Doctors sure dont want to be questioned on a daily bases. We are one of 2 countries that advertises drugs on tv, billboards, radio and print. That says something.. Crazy.. Peace & soul.

My pain doctor is sending me for a dilaudid metabolite quantitative level. Will he be able to tell if there is anything else in my system? And will he be able to tell that I take 8mg 4xs a day when I'm prescribed 4mgs 8xs a day.
