How To Snort The New Formula Opana Er (Page 6)
(Newest replies first)

I became a pain patient after I fell off a horse in March of last year and sustained spinal injuries which are still VERY painful. Opana ER was the first thing doctors gave me that helped at all and now that they have changed the formula I'm in a lot more pain. I want to break down the formula so I can insufflate it, as I am told I may get more pain relief and increase bioavailability of the drug. The new formula hardly offers the same pain relief, Please help me!

Hi Bob,

Don't know if you remember me, I remember you. Sorry haven't posted much, took a bad turn and I'm pretty much home bound (bed & sofa) mostly. I'm actually on home hospice but it's been the only way to relieve my pain & keep me out of the hospital. Otherwise the limits on home meds & the expense is impossible, so I have 4 mos. on hospice left, hoping to go into remission again. I had ZERO relief on Opana IR & it was a FORTUNE. Threw away 240 pills b/c it also gave me a horrible reaction so I'm still on Fentanyl patches which really help, they do cause me to be pretty tired (hard to tell how much is from illness, but I know the Fentanyl is a big part of it). My doctor told me I just can't tolerate Opana but if I could have, he said lots of the generics do not work the same and I know it's true (no matter what the drug companies say). Have a different experience on different brands of Fentanyl too, currently generic doesn't last 3 days, some I can tell they wear off 10 hours early, the pain kicks in so bad so now they give me Fentanyl "lollipops", they don't taste good (haha), but they work super fast and gives the nurse time to call and get instructions for medications generally before the lollipop wears off. I am holding at 75 mcg, above that and I just sleep all day & night except to wake up in horrible pain so that's not really a life. These lollipops allow me more control and more privacy which I'm grateful for. It's really sad what these threads have turned into, haven't been back for awhile and it's this very thing that forces people like me into hospice, etc. b/c of the rampant abuse. I don't think people would abuse these medications if they didn't have a problem so I don't know what the answer will be for the rest of us who don't but REALLY need these meds to have any quality of life. For those of you who wonder what could hurt so bad (like I even used to), the bone pain feels like you've shattered your back & spine, it's the kind of pain that brings you to hysterical crying and you sometimes wish for death. The b/t pain just surges instantaneously and lasts for 20-40 min. and I have 6-8 episodes a day and they are crippling and it makes me not want to go anywhere b/c I will drop to my knees and cry or scream b/c it catches me by surprise. There is no euphoria, when the pain begins to retreat, it's such a relief, there are no words. So for those of you that want to just get high, remember someone like us is not getting relief b/c you have our ration of meds and in the end, what does it get you? I've seen so many addicts at my PM doctor's office & he's so nice to them, no matter how belligerent they behave b/c they are sick too, so I guess I'm conflicted b/c no one ever says I want to grow up to be a drug addict. Just wish our government would understand that for too many years pain relief was INADEQUATE, that is a big reason for the increase in use of pain meds, b/c the 5th vital sign of pain was added (thank goodness) and so it would only make sense that more medicines would be RX'd, developed and unfortunately there will be some people that develop addictions and those that are just abuser's (recreational users). That's with everything though, and we don't stop making cookies b/c people get fat and develop heart disease, there are always going to be people that take advantage in all areas of life. The only thing I feel is lacking is adequate patient education on narcotic use and carefully monitoring other meds and these rubbish CVS & Walgreen's commercials where the pharmacist ACTS like they have all the time in the world to help their customers - they don't and when they are not busy they still don't help as they should. I have been lucky, my pharmacist is a sweetheart & always checks on me and wishes me well, it means so much to have the support. Excuse my rant or whatever this is, just so happy to feel a bit better today & lonely, been cooped up for way too long. Thx for "listening" and Happy New Year, best of wishes to you Bob, Verwon, all the regulars that try to help.

Hi there Bob... How have you been doing? I miss Vktoria too! She always had good postings and knew how to make me feel better! Haven't heard from her since the website changed, hopefully she will be back on sometime soon! The postings have been a bunch of crap... they are mostly about abusing narcotics and what orifices to put them into, to get the best high! Uggh! It's frustrating! Honestly, I just hope they get help!

Can you explain you method of getting pain relief from my opana 20 er , I just switched from mscontin to opana er. I do like that it does not make me sleepy at all compared to the morphine. I have bad R.a. , I don't like to take my Cain in public on days I can barely walk. At least I get Percocet for break though pain only 2 a day. I did notice the first week I took them i didn't need my Cain it was wonderful. I couldn't tell I had taken anything , unlike morphine gives you a therapeutic warm feeling when it starts working. But now on week 2 of the opana er , I am only getting relif when I take a percocet with it but I just get 2 a day, so I'm limited to a few good hour a day. The doctors and pharmacist think opana er last 12 hours that's a joke. So I'm egar to try your method untill my next dr appt . Other wise I will be misrible for another 18 days.

Hi Bob, I'm a new oldie and well remember you, VK , and many others. I know VK has probably been incredibly busy with her "new to her" home, and I have seen a couple of posts from her. Hope all is well with you, and that you're healthy, happy, and as pain free as possible!

Hey I was just curious as to how to fully enjoy these new opana 40's. I am going to attempt to try n break one down as to where I can't get up like I can with Oxy. Also could use the hook-up if any extra are coming out each month.

Where did all the regulars go? Being in the same boat as many here opana is not a glorified hydrocodone for me. Be careful when people ask questions as what works for one may not for the other. Opana has changed but ask doc for generic which has come back. It does not have the nasty coating that Endo labs puts out. VK miss seeing you on here. Hope all is well. Think you've gone since this forum has changed to snirting, up the pills, dremel tools and the like.

I have unfortunaly been on all types of pain meds for more than 17yrs for a painful disease I came down with at 16 yrs old. They all work differently. Opana is really nothing more than an glorified hydro codon with out the tylonal. Works ok for break through pain. MS Contin ER works verily well but the one that I have been on for the last two yrs is nucynta ER works really good. without the withdraw and crash feelings if u forget to take it on time. One every 12 hrs works really well for me because I hate taking the pills I have to take as it is. I don't want to have to take more. Snorting a med is no different than going out and buying meth or cocain. Whether your in pain or not that would look like you are doing it just to get the high. Been there done that not a good way to go. Your dr should work with u if not go to a pain clinic where they deal with nothing but pain meds. I love the one I go to. If something doesn't work my dr changes it. One othe thing after taking a med for a while your body gets use to it and either you have to take more or you have to switch. Sucks to be in pain. Good luck!

All you have to do is cut them up with dremmel or ped egg mis with any powder banking soda , perk , tab Roxie etc just make sure their is way more powder than pana powder. Example if u break up a tab make sure the tab pile is a lil bigger or at least equal to pana pile the. Just push together and blow

My brother was just in the ICU on a ventilator for four days after snorting these stupid pills. Doc said if he was a cat with nine lives, he'd just used eight. For the sake of your life and your family please do not snort those pills!!!!

Other than displaying your fine aptitude for rudeness, which is only surpassed by your overwhelming misogeny and an underwhelming vocabulary, what, exactly, is your question?

They say how it must be taken on the prescription bottle. If it says take orally, and you're taking it nasally. They can get you for that.

I need to know the method. Orally does not work. Get back to me. {edited for privacy}

The bioavailability you talk about has nothing to do with the company...that's just what oxymorphone is when taken orally....that is why the oral dose is so high, to compensate for the fact you only get 10 to 15 of the drug from your digestive system. Compared to the oral dose of 40mg, you only need 3 mg IV.
Also, most pharmacies don't mind telling you if they have a med in stock, I call all over, when I can't get it a my regular pharmacy, and have no problems...

The advice on the new formulated opanas work. If you havent tryed it take my advice n read thru page 7 of the post. At first i thought it may have been a placebo effect because of how slow it started to react in my body but after the first ten min it came on strong. If you dont want to take the time to go back to page 7 i will look again tomorrow on here n explain how i did it. It takes a little more time then the old ones to break it down but if thats what ur prescribed and they arnt helping then the extra time is deff worth it. Thanks again for the help. This was a life saver as most pf my spine is deteriorated and both hips need replaced. {edited for safety reasons}
