Opana Vs. Norcor Breakthrough Pain

I have both prescriptions, opana 5mg and hydrocodone 10.325 in which I have been on for awhile for hip and back pain. I dont think the hydro works to well and has a short live and thinking about switching to opana in which I have. Any suggestions please, what does opana feel like vs. hydro

When it comes to questions such as this, there is really no way for anyone to say how you may feel, when you take a certain medication, or how well it will work for you.

Everyone is different and medications can affect everyone differently. That's the main reason there are usually several options in any given therapeutic class.

Learn more Opana details here and you can learn more Vicodin details here.

The best thing you can do with any medication is try it and see how well it works for you. If it doesn't help, or if it causes unwanted side effects, then contact your doctor to discuss your other options.

Are there any questions or comments?
