New Opanas Really Dont Work

Updated

I have been prescribed opana 40mg for almost two yrs. I really wanted to be optimistic about the new formula but it does not work! Very little to no pain relief from these plastic pills! Now I'm spending sooo much time online looking for an alternative, but not having much luck. Nothing out there equivalent? How could Endo turn a great med into the worst?? I understand the need to make safer, but this is crazy...extreme! Why make them at all? Can anyone suggest a medication that I can switch to??

Have you talked to your doctor?

You might be able to try an equal dosage of Oxycontin, though most users of it have similar complaints due to the reformulation.

I think the only option left that hasn't been changed recently is Ms Contin, which contains a time released formulation of Morphine:

Opana is now available through Globa/Impax Pharmaceuticals as a generic that is formulated to be like the original Opana's before they messed up the pill. Have your pain management doctor write your script as 40mg. oxymorphone ER. There are still a lot of pharmacists that don't know about the generic version as it was just approved this past January. I went to the Global Pharmaceutical website and printed out the information and gave it to my pharmacist at Walgreens so they could order it for me. There are plenty of people that have reported on this website that it works just like the original Opana's did. I can't wait to get my script. When I do, I will give an update of its effectiveness.

global (pharmeticuls) just came out with generic no tamper resistant on it either. It's from global ( impact ) pharmacy...good people. The tablet is bright orange and smaller than the endorsing trf because there is no plastic in theses. These r better than the stop signs. Google it if u want or call your pharmacy and have them call their whole seller and order them. Waysonsandoz, and mallihroft f Congrats out ,

You are 110% correct that the new, reformulated (TimerX) plastic disk Opana is totally useless. I had excellent pain control for years with the original Opana and thought when the company changed it, that it should work just as well. Not so by a long shot. It's almost like taking NOTHING at all for pain. I've actually seen the Opana plastic disk in the toilet in my BM!! I've spoken to numerous pharmacists who related extremely high patient dissatisfaction with the new formula. Good News however, generic Opana in all previous strengths are now available, but are still extremely expensive.
