I have been taking the generic version of Opana er and the short active but at one location. Well I have now lost my medical insurance so I have to pay cash. I can not afford that but was checking out some of these discount cards and they have listed some of the normal pharmacy like CVS, Walgreen etc., but none off them will carry it. How can I find help to get them without paying such a high price. ## You can actually call 211 and ask for information on prescription help. They can direct you with some companies that actually send the medicine to you or pay the pharmacy. It varies with every med. I actually was approved for this for Opana but Doc changed my med. Good Luck. That stuff is EXPENSIVE!! ## Hi Janet, Sorry to hear about your situation. I noticed that you mentioned having chec...

just wanted to know if there is a difference between the 2. I am perscribed morphine sulfate er 15 mg twice daily. My neck has been operated on a few times so i have severe pain daily. I forgot my pills at home over the weekend. My mother is perscribed Opana 10mg. She gave me one and it seemed to work better. Wanted to know if there is a difference between the 2. I am not sure how to go about asking my dr to switch me. Don't want her to freak about my mom giving me one of hers... ## Opana contains the active ingredient Oxymorphone and it is actually stronger than Morphine. So, the one 10mg tablet that you took was actually equal to taking 30mgs of the Morphine, at once. They are both narcotics, so the side effect profile is similar and can include: nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and ...

I snorted I don't know 5-10mg of opana in a two day period. I have to take random saliva test how long will it show up in saliva and urine too just out of curiosity? I've passed two test already so my system was completely clean prior to using. ## The saliva detection time is actually very short, usually only a day or so for most narcotics, in urine it can be detected longer, about 3 to 5 days, depending on how much you've been using and for how long. Are there any other comments or questions? ## how long does metadone stay in your saliva ## cainon25, the same general rules applies to Methadone, since it is also an opiate narcotic, it is usually detectable in a saliva test for 24 hours, after taking it, though this can vary slightly from person to person. Other factors can a...

I can only share my experience but I will stick to the facts: If you want off of these life/joy killers. 1)they claim 12hour time released med. NO TRUE OF OXICONTIN 40mg, i could only enjoy my life in 7 hour increments, sometimes 8 rarely but 9 max if you don't mind feeling like crap for a couple hours This is not anything new, Doctors know it pharmacists know it, most of all, your insurance co. Knows it & they don't want to fill it or pay for it. If you are considering use of this med to fight of chronic I pain this med does the job. I took my time & reaserchd prior to, accepting the knowledge of Chem dependency but the pain outwade the decision. Hindsite, you will spend day after day making sure, everyone dots I's & crosses T's, it's rare that a simple Rx

So I'm a bit scared and confused and need some help. I would really like no judging also. I've been going to pain Managment for 7 years and currently I'm on 6-7 10-325 oxycodone acetaminophen tablets per day. I was kicked out of PM because I was cash pay and couldn't afford the appointments so they released me. Needing to find another pain dr I went back to just my family dr temporarily to get help with medicine because finding a new pm center is difficult as you all know! (Crazy requirements, needing all documentation, films, history, psychology, initial set up and appointments are set out months in advanced!) my dr was very hesitant to help me with all the new laws and danger with opiate medications but agreed only on the understanding that he would only give me 3 mont...

I took 1 20mg opana on Sunday,I have a urine test on Friday,how long does it stay in my system? ## Hi BobbyESP, Opana (oxymorphone) has an average half-life of 7-9hrs and from what I've read, it can take as long as 3-4 days to be out of your system for a urine test, 24 hours for a blood test, 1-4 days for a saliva test, and up to 90 days for a hair follicle test. So since you're taking a urine test, odds are that you should be fine for Friday's test. I really don't have any doubts what-so-ever that you'll pass it, being that you only took 1 pill. I hope this helps! Does anyone else have info to add? ## All opiates work the same pretty much. Just different types names and mgs. But an opiate is an opiate. Most take three days at the least! But it also can depend on how...

I'm presricbed 30 mg opana three times a day. The problem I have is I ran out early on my pills do to being out of town. I decide to take a 30mg of roxicodone that I had from a earlier prescription before I got changed to opanas. I would like to know if I took a drug test would it show that I took roxicodone and opana or would they show up the same? I've looked online and I see there's different levels of test 5,6,9,12 panel test. I'm not sure which test they use but let's just say a 12 panel test. Thanks for the help. ## Yes, it does depend on which test they are doing and, if they are doing one of the more in-depth ones, such as a 12 panel, then it would show which narcotic you took. The more basic tests, such as a 5 panel just detects the presence of opiate narcot...

Are the opana 40 mg ER's made to be abuse proof like the oxycontin 80mg er's? what other long acting pain meds are on the market that would compare to the oxycontin 80 mg er's? ## No, Opana is not made with the same formulation that the Oxycontin is, that was something specifically developed by Purdue Pharma, because the abuse of the Oxycontin and diversion has become such a huge and widespread problem. Opana contains the active ingredient Oxymorphone, which is also a very potent narcotic and may cause side effects, such as: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth. Learn more: As to other time released options, there is also a time released formulation of Morphine, the name brand for it is MS Contin, though it is also available as a generic: There is also a patch that co...

Rx filled & wondering about oxymorphone 10 mg ir by roxane, what Ive gotten previously. Now got 10 mg ir by teva. The teva doesn't seem to give as much relief. It might be too early to judge, as I had to GI without for 2 days. Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated. ## Should've read had to go without! ## :-) No worries, I'm very fluent in typonese! And yes, it most likely is far too early to know for sure if it's going to work for you or not. If you had to go without for 2 days, then your pain has actually been aggravated by the rebound effect that can occur with a sudden withdrawal of these types of medications…and that's on top of the typical withdrawal symptoms. I'd say to give it about 2 weeks, then you should be able to judge a bit better. ...

Here is a piece about a group trying to stop pain medicines from being made generic unless its the way they want it made. By StopOxy A national organization that fights prescription drug abuse is sounding the alarm about the possibility of pain pills without safety features being released to pharmacies across the nation. The nonprofit Center for Lawful Access and Abuse Deterrence (CLAAD) is urging the FDA to prevent the return of crushable versions of OxyContin and Opana. This Org is Raising the Alarm about Abusable Painkillers Under government pressure, the makers of these powerful opioid drugs reformulated their products to prevent abuse. The new versions of the drugs are resistant to crushing, making it impossible to smoke, snort or inject the drugs in order to circumvent their time-...

i have broken back with nerve damage in right leg, itake opana 40mg and 30 mg for break through pain ## I really don't think there is any such directory available. If your current doctor isn't close to one, then that would mean that you would have to switch doctors and then, there's no guarantee that you'd still be prescribed the same medications. Have you tried asking your current doctor is they can recommend a pharmacy? ## was recently taken off Opana. Had A skiing accident that required back surgery. Only thing that has helped over 25 yrs, was Opana. Any one know where I can get some. My life sucks right now. Please help! Yes I have been scammed before ## Amy, I'm sure your aware Opana is a powerful narcotic opiod that requires a pain specialist to prescribe this ...

I have been abusing Opana 40mg each day for 2 months or so. I have recently cut down my intake to a quarter(10mg) every few days. I recently quit for 5 days and then snorted a half (20 mg) on saturday night @ 11 pm. I have a urine analysis on monday @ 3pm. Will it appear on the results? What can i do to ensure that i pass the test? Any help would be much appreciated!! ## did you end up passing? im in just about the same situation.my test is on saturday.930am. ## If you have been a long-term, frequent user of high amounts, the time it will stay in your system can vary, but it will usually be about 3 to 5 days for a urine test. As to ensuring that you past the test, there is really no guaranteed way to do that, other than to not use medications that you don't have a prescription for, ...

What exactly is these pills?? I've heard there 20mg Roxy's an I've heard they were OPANA(OXYMORPHON)?? ## This tablet actually contains 20mgs of Oxycodone in a regular release formulation, it's a generic for Roxicodone. It's a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Learn more Oxycodone details here. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Can you break a 20mg oxycodone pill in half and only taking half it has np on one side and 14 on the other

I have severe RA, hip and femur full of bullet fragments and severe muscle loss. I have been taking 3 x's a day mscontin 30mg. Dr put me on 30mg of Opana 2 x's daily. I took first 2hours and not helping yet with my pain. How long does it take to kick in fully? Thank you ## The ER designates it as being a time released medication, so it doesn't all take effect, at once, it is slowly released over a period of time, but you should start to feel some relief within a few minutes of taking it. Has there been any change? The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

Hello everyone, So I've been doing the pain management thing the correct way for about 15 years. I take Opana ER and Oxycodone IR every day. I've finally found the right dosage of each to be able to at least cope with my Ankylosing Spondylitis as well as the 3 different columns I've had fused. Well lucky me I found out yesterday I'm being transferred to KC MO next week! My current doc didn't know anyone there to refer me to, so I'm asking for everyone here's assistance. At this point I'm not too terribly picky. Yeah I would prefer a place that didn't treat me like I'm some sort of junky just because I know exactly what works for me. However I do understand that that's going to happen wherever I go for the most part. Any help is greatly appreci...

I had a script it is written Opana 10mg ER but my doctor put can be substituted. so I get Oxymorphone 10mg ER and today the pharmacist said I am sorry but I have to call your Doctor to ask him if I can fill your script with Oxymorphone cos she said we are not allowed to without confirming with the doctor and he called her and said yes you can fill the Oxymorphone, never had that problem before cos she said Opana and Oxymorphone is not the same..i take that to the hospital pharmacy and they never give me a problem and fill it with Generic. I went there first they didn't have it so that is why I went to the other one today. ## Timilan Your very fortunate they even called your physician for confirmation and approval most pharmacy personal wouldn't even have admitted they stock it n...
