Er 20mg Opana

Updated

May of the year, I started the Opana ER 20mg and for me this has been wonderful. I was only able to afford oxycodone prior to the start of insurance in May. Been fighting a crazy battle with the oxycodone pain relief, cause the pharmacy keeps pushing KVK Tech product that doesn't work for me and has side effects. With Opana ER 20mg as my primary pain relief and Oxycodone 10mg for breakthrough pain, I am finally adjusting where I can function, which It has been a long time. Several years ago when I first started with oxycodone 30mg, life was good because I could function and then my local pharmacies started slipping the KVK products in on me and life became awful. Have heard that some people find the Opana makes them very sleepy. Lucky but so far I haven't had a problem.

Hi Susie, How's it going? I don't know if you're the same Susie I've responded to before, but I'm glad to hear that you've finally found an alternative to that horrible KVK tech manufacturer.

I've also heard a lot of people say that oxymorphone is both considerably stronger and more sedating than oxycodone... So I can imagine it must be a whole new sensation of relief, especially after having been given the "weaker" oxycodone's from KVK tech and then switching over.

Are you still with the same manufacturer now or is the Opana made by someone else?

How are you doing?
Yes, I am finding the Opana to be a lot more sedating than the oxycodone. I have fibromyalgia along with my other problems, and sleep issues come with it. The Oxycodone was an IR so I also had the ups and downs with pain relief of that, which doesn't make for a good nights sleep either. The first couple months I was finding the sedating effect of the Opana to be a nice change and was really enjoying the ability to sleep It may be that I am not as happy with the sedating effect this month LOL The ER pain relief of the Opana is still the most wonderful thing I could imagine, and makes me able to function more days than not, so I am willing to accept the sedating effect, if that's going to be part of the deal.

Oh my goodness, the KVK Tech products. Last month the independent pharmacy wasn't able to fill my complete prescription of the oxy 10mg without giving me some KVK Tech with the other brand to complete my order. Friday was prescription "saga" day and thankfully this month, he had ZyGenerics brand, so this month will be a better month, now that I have my breakthrough medication also.
I offered to exchange the KVK Tech (as I still have then, can't take them), but he explained that they can't do that. Thinking about it, that only makes sense, what if they accepted medication back from a person who had tampered with it. I don't think I would appreciate "used" medication.
I've been asking people who have problems with KVK Tech products to log onto the FDA website and fill out the complaint section. Just my complaint will more than likely be ignored, and I've heard of many others who are have similar problems with the KVK.
