How To Snort The New Formula Opana Er (Page 5)

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!

REPORT

I would agree. I have been on OPANA ER 30 for several years and they worked well. Did not have to crush to get pain relief. However, I have been on the new tablets for about a week, and my paid level is way up. They appear to be doing little to help. I am a veteran who has a partial stomach and only about 2/3s of my intestines from a war injury. The tablets actually pass through and come out in my stool a sticky lump..... I don't believe I am getting but a small amount of the meds..... I have started taking 5 of these a day just to get some relief..... I doubt ENDO thought about this when they redid the formula..... Any suggestions?

i used the sandpaper wheel from my Dremel tool to sand the opana 40 er down. Do it in a deep pot and pick out the fibers(swallow these) then blow nose until clean and dry. Then snort gently in little piles. S*** in some cases it hits so hard its scary! Be cool,only every 8-10 hrs. It works .immed.w/d relief and about 10 min maximum to a little happy-time. dont do more than half at a time cause youll need the rest later. just grab em with pliers and bend em back and forth until they break in half. sand off coating and dump it(just crap anyway) the next day youll have a badly plugged nostril i bet they put something in the new stuff to plug u up but damnit we do as we must. i ended up using alot less than old school opana er so tolerance dropped. i get 60 per month. i refill tomorrow and still have 12 left. good luck All... we are who we are and anyone who criticizes us can go get f***ed! peace,love and togetherness

I BELIEVE THAT OPANA, LIKE OXYCONTIN, HAVE BEEN 'REFORMULATED IN ORDER TO STOP ABUSE...(SNORTING)..MY FAVE. THERE IS QUITE THE RITUAL INVOLVED IN THE SNORTING...CRUSH, TAMP, RAZOR-CHOP...MAKT THE LINES, PLAY WITH LINES, ETC.NO JOKE...IF I COULD SNORT MY BLOOD PRESSURE MED.'S I PROBABLY WOULF (JOKE)..I KNOW OTHERS THAT ALSO FIND ENJOYMENT IN THE 'RITUAL' OF PREPPING MEDS. FOR SNORTING..."INSUFFLATING" IS THE TECH. NA ME FOR SNORTING... ,,.ANYWAY, WHEN FOLKS OD..OR GET CLOSE...I GUESS THE FEEDBACK AND PRESSURE FROM THE INDUSTRY PERSUADE THE MAKERS TO 'REFORMULATE' THE DRUG...I WONDER WHEN OXCODONEWILL BE REFORMULATED IN ORDER TO STOP INSUFFFLATING BY THE 'PART' OF THE PAIN --TAKING PUBLIC...I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS A MONEY MAKING MOE BY ENDO. I WAS TOLD--( SO MUCH FOLKLORE ABOUT THESE DRUGS)--THAT OPANA WILL GO BACK TO OLD WAY IN SEPTEMBER...I DO NOT HOLD ANY FAITH IN THAT...

YES... i HATE THE DOC THAT ALLOWED ME TO COME BACK TO THE OFFICE EARLY, EACH MONTH. ACTUALLY...LIKE 3-4 DAYS EARLY ON A 12 OR--14 DAY RX....I WAS EVEN GOING IN JUST TO PICKUP A SCRIPT FOR THAT DAY @!! YES-THAT DAY . I KNOW I AM EVEN...50/ 50 RESPONSIBLE..HOWEVER-AS THE 'PROFESSIONAL' THE DOC SHOULD HAVE TOSSED ME OUT THE DOOR....THE MAIN B**** IS THAT HE KNEW-AND WE'D HAVE LONG TALKS ABOUT DEPRESSION, PAIN ADDICTION. OVER AND OVER DAYS EARLY...WHO IN THEIR RIGHT ( MEDICAL PRO ) MIND--WOULD KEEP WRITING FOR A GUY THAT'S ,GOT IT BAD...(AND THAT AIN'T GOOD )...AND DO NOT TAKE SUBUTEX OR THE OTHER ONE THATS ORANGE AND NALOXONE IN IT TOO EARLY...AS THE ARTICLE READ...'IT PRECIPITATES WITHDRAWAL'...I MUST WAIT 22-25 HOUR BEFORE TAKING SUBS, OR THE OTHER..AND DOC SAID-THE SUBS DO NOT BLOCK AND PUSH THE OPIATES OUT OF THE BRAIN RECEPTORS....FALSE....BOTH ARE ACTIVE OPIATES MEDS. -THE NALOXONE IS FOR FOLKS THAT LIKE TO INJECT( I COULD BE A BIT FUZZY HERE- IF I WERE GONNA GET AWAY FROM THIS STUFF ( 8.5 YEARS FOR LEGIT. PAIN )..I WOULD GO TO OXYCODONE...(IR) REGULAR OLD IMMEDIATE RELEASE...IT GETS OUT OF THE SYSTEM FASTER..SP- DOES THAT MEAN IT HANGS ON FOR LESS TIME WHEN MOVING TO SUB'S ETC ??? IT SEEMS THAT THE LONGER HALF LIFE A MED HAS--THE LONGER IT WILL HANG ON IN YOUR SYSTEM..I HAVE READ MOST OF THIS...IF THE INFO. NEEDS CORRECTION, BE COOL ABOUT IT....I AM NO EXPERT... GETTING ON THESE MEDS....( I CANNOT TAKE ANY NSAIDS)...IS THE WORST-WORST F***IN THING I HAVE EVER DONE..____THAT IS ABOUT ME--I SPEAK FOR MER...AND THE PAIN HAS BEEN UNBEARABLE..AS Y'ALL KNOW...SO ONWARD FELLOW RXer's....

I have chronic pain in my foot and ankle. I shattered my foot in Dec 2010 right after they changed the form of the OC. While in the hospital i was given real OC fentanyl the works! Then i got out and it was impossible to find real OC but i do get the oxycodone 30s which isnt too bad but dont last for s***. This new form BS is crazy. They put plastics in our meds to keep us from abusing them. They should know that abusers will abuse no matter what! I can find a way to abuse anything. The only thing this is going to do is make dope heroin more valuable to people who need opes. It kind of makes me wonder if the fda knew that because it cant be that hard to figure out that if you take the only descent meds out of the pharmacy then its to the streets we go. They must take into consideration all of this stuff before they aprove all this jazz. But guess what they just dont care.. it really makes ya wondering who has their hand in the heroin distribution in this country. Lets take all the good meds out of the pharmacy so we can make our money from heroin. I mean really they disregard the fact that there are plastics in these pills why? So we cant abuse them? Well it doesnt matter cuz if we want to get high there is still heroin. And there is ways around their stupid plastic. I mean come on years and years ago the government was making companys pay their former employees millions because the employees were harmed from working with these plastics without the proper protection. Now they just dont give a s*** that us people who are in pain are ingesting this stuff daily and numerous times a day. Just doesnt make sense to go through all this trouble to switch out the formulations if they did not benefit in some way. I mean come on this is the government and pharmaceutical companies we are talking about. And i can guarantee that the new formulations are not producing as good as numbers for the profits... So where are they making up their money lost?? DOPE yupp heroin. Thats the only explanation for me. because they obviously did not do this to benefit the everyday chronic pain patients or else there would be no cancer forming plastics in our meds. We need to stand up and do something here. Its called rehab! everyone man up and just quit all together.. Stop letting them yank our dicks all over the place. Just stop buying their products. If they dont give two hoots about us as a consumer then screw them as the distributor. These things dont even touch anyones pain like the old ones so they are basically forcing people to abuse drugs just to get relief.

I was the original "a**hole that said "if you snort them, you're looking for a high, not pain relief". Someone commented it's easy for "someone who isn't in pain to see that". In another post I mentioned I do take these, as I suffer from chronic pain.

I JUST GOT THE NEW FORMULATION and it seems to work as strongly, but takes longer to start giving relief. When I wake up in the morning, for instance, I'm usually in fairly bad pain before I take my meds and my body and muscles warm up a little. Whereas the old formulation would start to give relief relatively quickly, the new one takes longer.

I'm not judging if you snort your pills, I just wish people would be honest about why they do. I have a friend with chronic pain who has so many issues and ill effects from a lot of the pain meds her doctor just prescribes her (I don't know how many mg) IR Oxycodone (they make IR Opana too, and it comes generic) to take 3x a day instead of 4, all I was trying to say was that if the noew formulation isn't working well, and you're really serious about relief, there are many other options.

You can grind the new opana down. I have been a pain patient since 09 when i wrecked my mc. Go to walmart buy yourself a good pair of needlenose pliers and then go to the pet section and buy a pedipal pet nail trimmer. It is about 8 inches long and it takes 4 aa batteries. Go home and grab the pill with the pliers and just slip it thru the hole in the cap. I put a plate down tho to catch the powder. This works way way better than a drimmel tool, even tho it is almost the same thing. It comes with two sandpapers the one that is already on there is the course one, so change it to the one that is just loose in the package. Dont use the stone bc it doesnt work trust me.

Opana er is simply oxymorphone. Opana ir is the same thing, oxymorphone. They do not add other drugs to any pain medications at all, exept for suboxone which is buprenorphine and naloxone. So your ir and er opanas are the same thing, simply oxymorphone. The way they make er drugs is that it takes your body a long time to break it down and to be released into your system. Ir drugs break down immediately and release into your system. I dont know why people think this crap its just stupid.

The coating does absolutely nothing!! The coating just makes the pill look good, that is it. It doesnt cause the pill to not work when you snort it that is just stupid. So opana is NOT oxycodone and morphine mixed together, that is also stupid. Where people hear this I do not know.

Their has to be a way to get it to release in the system. Its like dipping an egg in silver so it doesnt greak, so how do you eat the egg!!!!!! How does this company think its ok to do this????? Just so stupid. I would thimk roxicodones are the biggest problem out there so what are they going to do to them? I just got a script from my PM dr 2 weeks ago. They were a crazy blue colr and cost 2 times more and they give me a headache. thats never happened in 8 years. This is just crazy!!!!

Listen ima keep it real i used to snort opana and wish i never started. Opana for me snorting it made my tolerance so high that i could t even feel them. I swear i snorted like 8 /30mg opana and felt nothing it got to a point that even though i didnt feel anything i would snort them just to stop the withdrawls. It would cause my sinuses to be clogged i couldnt smell or taste for days. It makes your pain worst cause when i was getting relief i would feel so good that when they stopped working it made my pain feel 10 tiimes worst. It caused me to be depressed even when i took them cause servere constipation and my stomach would feel like s***. So im kinda glad they made the new ones even though i dont get no relief but i rather just go through the pain then go through it anyway with also having the complications i was having while abusing them. They still make the white generic 10 mgs that u can crush and snort they are a lil harder to crush you can shave it down or use sumin hard to smash and goes up great and its july 2012 and there still out well its the end of june. U can shoot the new ones just chop it up real good put in a spoon melt it down add the water and suck up ina syringe but u should shoot it asap once it gets in the syringe cause if u wait to long it will get hard again i dont shhot but i swear i have seen my boy do it dont knw how much water to use cause i dnt shoot but if i memba my boy said if u used to shooting up its like the same measurements as shooting anything almost a whole syringe. But i dont condone this use but i know ppl still gone try and rather give the right info so noone kills themselves although if u continue to shoot or sniff its inevitable good luck yall

And pj at the time of your post you said youve only been taking opana for a month so your tolarence obviously isnt as high as most of us who' ve been taking them for years. And your right most of us take it to get high but in my case i also take it for pain but just happen to be stupid and tried snorting one day and fell in love. Takes 5 min to kick in and puts u on ur ass. But for those who abuse them are junkies dont apologize for telling the truth people who respond negatively are just guilty and hate looking at themselves in the mirror and disappointed in there actions

Excellent post, we have ALL been there and if you haven't consider yourself exceptionally lucky. I too have resorted to snorting when I could no longer tolerate the pain and the medication I was prescribed also has a very low oral bioavailability rate of absorption. There is a big difference b/w addiction and once in a while needing your meds in a different form. If you find that you are exhibiting addictive behaviors than that is a different story. If you have someone you can trust, a spouse or loved one, have them help manage your meds to ensure you staff safe. I can do this without becoming an addict. I often wonder why these doctors prescribe medications that they hear day in and day out don't work. I do however agree that the particles you inhale can be very dangerous and enter your lungs and cause irreversible damage and your doctor will know exactly what caused it so it is always safer to make a nasal saline spray, dissolve your pills in some saline and place in a type of nasal spray bottle that can be opened, do your research so you get the right amount and this will reduce if not eliminate the risk of the fillers from entering your lungs. Also, if this makes you too scared, the next highest bioavailability is rectal administration, mix warm water or saline with crushed pills in a baby syringe or smaller syringe without the needle and make your own suppository of sorts - google rectal administration of the medication you use. It's very simple, not disgusting and lasts longer than nasal use. We are all just trying to get by with as little suffering as possible and I think if given a choice, we'd gladly give up the pills for a normal life. Pain will make people do some desperate things, I've known some people who chose to take their own lives rather than face their pain. Now that is wrong.
