I Want 20 Mg Opana Ir

Updated

i am on methadone 5mg twice a day for long term pain. i am on 10 mg oxycodone four times a day for breakthrough pain. i hate methadone, but its a long story having to do with a stint at a clinic. i couldnt tell my doctor that. i have been taking 10 mg opana ir and they work well, i just have built a tolerance to it. i think the 20 mg twice a day along with two 15mg oxycodone for breakthrough should do me well. i cant take the opana er because they make me sick, do you guys think that what i want is a good enough substitute? any comments and suggestions would be helpful. thanks

Was on both meds- got off both. Use Lyrica, elavil, muscle relaxant, and topic capasain for chronic pain/RSD. Have spinal cord stimulate. My life is a million times better without methadone(killed my teeth/ I use to be a dentist) and opiods. Try a new doctor, if you can get to Cleveland clinic or northwestern university hospital, both have excellent pain management programs.

djlean, the main issue you're going to have is that the Methadone is very hard to replace, since even if you use other narcotics, it can still cause some severe withdrawals. That's one of the many reasons many people treated with it are never able to completely become drug free.

And Jay, any narcotic can do that to your teeth, if you take it for a long period of time.

Are there any other comments or questions?

Opana IR 10 mg now comes in a generic.It is a white, round pill. Oxymorphone (Brand name Opana) it was reformulated due to all the idiots that crushed and snorted the full doses and then died comes in 5 and 10 mg. The "new" crush-proof Opana ER is worthless for pain relief. I used to take the "old" (octagonal shape) Opana ER 40mg X 3 a day and it worked fine. Once the FDA mandated the change, I have talked to pharmacists, a friend who takes the new Opana ER and my PC and all stated they have had complaints with the new ER formulation yet the cost remains the same. I now take generic Opana IR 10 mg 3 X a day and there is a HUGE difference in pain relief! I was on oxycodone 30mg 4 X a day and the generic Opana IR is much, much better for pain relief. Some people have commented that they get more euphoria from oxycodone, In my case, I get both pain relief and a wonderful feeling of manageable euphoria from the generic Opana IR. Since I have been on Oxycontin, oxycodone, Kadian, Embeda and MS Contin, I get the best results from the generic Opana IR. PM docs are now reluctant to prescribe oxycontin or oxycodone due to all the bad press and all the abusers who died. What is strange is that oxycodone is a big "step-down" from oxymorphone. Generic Opana IR also lasts longer than oxycodone. Ask your PM doc anout the generic Opana IR 10mg and you will notice a huge difference.
