Difference Between Opana And Oxycontin (Page 3)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I have MS and need pain relief. I don't like the stigma oxycontin has to it. I simply don't find it helpful. Is Opana a good substitute? I take 5 mg of oxycodone for breakthrough pain but sometimes it is not enough. If I don't deal with the pain appropriately I get sicker and more fatigue. I am not familiar with narcotics at all. I will admit a fear of them. Any answers please.

Don't be afraid of anything except addiction cause that's all there is to it. Opana is definitely not as strong as oxycontin. But it works, it does not catch you a buzz either like an oxy would.

I have herniated disks in my t-spine and have tried almost everything out there. I started on 20 mg 2 times a day but it didn't last long enough, so I switched to 10 mg 3 times a day which gave me better coverage. However, Opana is expensive and the side effects are going to cause me to change again. I have experience extreme weakness and unusual tiredness. Everything I do is a struggle because I am so weak. I also have experience blurred vision at a distand and difficulty reading small print up close. Further, I have difficultly taking deep breathes, which makes relaxation techniques difficult. Not worth it for me.

BEEN ON OPANA AND THE ER FOR ABOUT 10 MONTHS NOW. I LIKE IT. DOESN'T SEEM TO MAKE YOU SLEEPY AFTER THE 2nd DAY. MY PAIN LEVEL STAY AT ABOUT A 3 TO A 6 NOW WHEN IT WAS A 10.
