Does anyone know about Opana?

[Max]

Truly, the junkies need to find another forum for 'em. Tips on how to get the best high aren't for this site.

I'm now on year 10 of medication because the surgery I need is only allowed in Europe and the FDA does not allow the type of spine surgery in the US that I require. I'm taking 80mg of OC @ 3x per day + 3-4 Oxycodone 5mg @ 4x per day as needed. I notice however that lots of the generic oxycodone out there is real junk. Anyone else notice this? Only ETHEX and perhaps AMIDE seem to make a quality product. Considering that generic meds only need be 80% "like" the original, we could all be getting "ripped off" 20% of our medication potency and I swear this happens with other generic oxycodone. Any other experiences out there?

I have been on oxycontin for 10yrs,Last week i was givin opana 40 mgs for one month, And i can say my pain went from.10 to 3,I have never abused the oxycontin like others,I pay to much for my meds,for me opana works better

[black ops]

I have had seven back surgerys that did not take my pain away,I been on oxycontin for 12yrs and also tryed morphine pump x2 and almost every other pain meds out there,But they did not work on the pain that i have just think the worst pain x10,It was hard for me to get around like walk.sit.shower.or sleep,so my doctor told me to try this new med called opana,He said it was an injectable before used in hospitals only,And now out in a oral pill,Its been out for a about 1yr,well I gave it a try Opana worked wonders for me,My pain went from 10 to 5. now I have my life back when before I almost gave up on life also I dont abuse my meds,I never did why start now,Besides my meds cost me to much money,No to Oxycontin yes to Opana

you are kidding right? 1st off theres a huge difference between addicted and dependant, an addict cannot get clean/off the drugs/detoxed for good by choice, they are a whore to the drug being abused... one who is dependant, is capable of detoxing at any point,(I do this 3-4 times a yr) is using it for a purpose "sedating pain" is dependant as long as the "drug" is allowing that person to live as close to "normal" as possible, when something else will enable that, we will go that route..as for govt allowing us to "do as we choose" never gonna happen, your grand kids will die of old age b4 that happens... in a society that declares you an adult at 18 (death by electricution)(join the military"can die for your country") but cannot drink alc till you are 21!!! illegal to have sex for money(prostitution)hurting no one, but parties involved... which is the oldest profession...cannot gamble (your own money, after its taxed)but will allow lottery and 20$ scratch offs.. and you are awaiting a right to use drugs(any/all)drugs, in our society, itll never happen, govt is to much of a hypocrit to allow it unless it benefits them, thats why they allow prescription meds, they get a healthy cut!!!

[JUSTASKME]

I TOOK ONE, IT DIDN'T RELEVIE MY PAIN, THEN I TOOK TWO ASK MY DOC. WANT ME TO DO, IT KNOCKED ME OUT AND MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS GOING OUT OF MY MIND. I WOULD NOT TRY THEM. THEY HAVE BAD SIDE EFFECTS.

Ive been on 150 Mcg of Fentanyl (duragisic) 1 50 patch and 1 75 pach. Also I have been sucking down 3 1200 Mcg fentanyl lolipops a day. This has been working great for me and I recomend Duragisic patches to anyone who needs to be on a long term opiate pain relief plan. It is superior to oxicontin in everyway. My problem is this. The Pops work great but at 3 boxes of 30 pops a month I am paying $6000. I am thinking about switching to Opana for management of "breakthrogh" pain. Before I was on the pops I was taking 16 mg of dilaudid 3 times a day. Opana is a hell of alot more expensive then the dilaudid but about $5000 cheaper then fentanyl pops. Anyway what I wanted to know is how 20mg Opana-IR would compare to 3 1200 mcg pops and if I would be better off just getting the dilaudid again.

[ACTIQ1200]

thats 20 mg Opana-IR 3 times a day

[ACTIQ1200]

soryy oxycontin not oxi...no i

[ACTIQ1200]

and what about stadol....my doc will give me ehatever I want so I would really be interested in what the "junkies" have to say.

[ACTIQ1200]

understand this, when your dr get medically audited, you are doomed! no dr will write like that anymore.. aside from tolerance youd never neeed that volume to sedate pain...someone w/ major pain issues would never need morethan (2-3) 80s a day and some roxies3-5 a day 30mg if your counting thats 160-240 mg T/R meds and 90-150 mg of immediate release (break through)... a new to pain patient would be sedated(out for the count) on half that... so your dr is the one making a mistake, you should have been weened back to maintain a dose of some sort(w/o upping the dose all the time)at some point this will end, and you are doomed... its a warning, im not a NA preacher, i have issues and use and occasionally like a buz so we are in the same neighborhood, the difference is I detox 3-4 times a yr to keep my dose in prespective, its been about 5-6 yrs and im on basically the same dose now as when I started.. I did the fentanyl 100 and roxy then went to 80s and roxy , but you have to revamp your situation, theres no walking off this anymore 4 you, the detox is beyond major and like I said, your dr wont get away w/ this for good, and he wont need detox, you will be in bad shape, start preparing bcuz the reality is not pretty!!!

[ACTIQ1200]

yeah well id say 100 of duragisic is sure better then the 230 mg of methadone I used to be on.

[ACTIQ1200]

and who is new to pain...anyway for anyone who is interested I found the opana-IR 10 mg. to be unreliable. The Bio-availability is highly subject to stumich conditions. Sometimes it worked sometimes it did not. So while it is a stronger drug then dilaudid, in edible tablet form it is inferior.

[ACTIQ1200]

even at adjusted doses...ex) 20 mg opana vs 16 mg dilaudid

[ACTIQ1200]

so you think I should stay on the actiq? I don't believe I asked how hard you think I will detox or for your thaughts about my doctor. I can say this for sure though....fentanyl detox has been a pleasure compared to methadone.

[ACTIQ1200]

and another thing...60 mg opana is equal to 120 mg OC a day. What are you talking about kydrby

[All- Addicts]

People that have true chronic pain take medicine to function and not to get a buzz. Chronic pain patients usually do not have to increase their dose once they find the combo that works for them. Chronic pain sufferers are Dependent not addicted.
A person that has an addiction to pain meds seeks the euphoria this is why they constantly search for the fastes way to get it into the body (Better High) these are the people that will STOP AT NOTHING to get the drug...Stealing,buying off the street,lying to doctors,begging. Someone with chronic pain will not be doing any of this..They take their meds legally and see one physician. Sure there are a few people that didn't intend to get addicted, but did anyway, but usually those people have lifestyles that makes them likely to keep seeking that Euphoria.
An example for me would be a person that has to drink alcohol everyday...This person would probably not be a good canidate for Narcotic pain medicines.
Also I was talking about how far addicts would go to get this medicine lets not forget they will spend every dime they have to get it...and sadly some resort to armed robbery and murder.....SO KEEP IN MIND THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DEPENDENT AND ADDICTED...YMMV
