Yes, the doses are equivalent, but some medications work better for some people than others, so it's really a matter of trial an error to find the right medication, in the right dose.

The FDA warns that these medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

When are you going to be starting it?

SWEET: Supposedly, the Opana actually stays around for 12 hours, whereas you probably know, the Oxy does not.
BUT: Opana is very expensive, and depending on where you live, it is very hard to find a pharmacy that carries it. I live in a large metropolitan area, and I found 1 pharmacy that had it, but my copay was 330.00, so I declined.
Also, check with your insurance company about what drugs they will pay for in that class of drugs. And sincekyou are seeing a pain management Dr, get them a copy of your insurance company's FORMULARY, that way your Dr doesn't have you chasing your tail all over town looking for scripts you can't afford.
Also, if you have been in pain management treatment for several years, ask your Dr about a more aggressive treatment, such as a Spinal Cord Stimulator or a Morphine Pump.
