Opana contains the active ingredient Oxymorphone, it is a very strong narcotic pain medication.

Yes, it is an equal dose. However, it is seriously dangerous to snort these tablets, they are not intended for such use and some of the fillers, especially since these are time released, can cause blockages in your lungs, leading to pulmonary embolism, blood clots or stroke.

Are there any other questions?

oxymorphone hcl is the same thing as dilaudid time released or not it is hands down a better drug than oxycodone 80's, I have snorted them and shot them way better

haha.umm yeah. so can breathing the air outside. stop with your fear propaganda..
the easiest way to break down the fillers in OPANA ER is to grind the opana down using a piece of metal screen, or a screen style pasta strainer, or the screen from a flower sifter (get the point?) anyway, shave the opana into a piece of white paper. a normal size piece of paper. after you have shaved the pill onto the paper, fold the paper a few times (fold it till it's at least double folded) so that the opana that u just shaved down is folded inside of the paper and then throw the folded paper, with the opana inside, into the microwave for 45 seconds. no more cause the paper will ignite and melt your opana. carefully pull the paper out of the microwave and unfold it so that u don't spill the contents (when i do this at work, and have to hide the fact that i'm throwing a piece of paper in the microwave, i usually draw a line on top of the paper after i fold it so i know which end is up, that way it dosesn't spill) anyway you will see when u unfold the paper that the fluffyness is gone from the opana and it seems to be clumped up again, but snortable. snort away. i can finish this whole procedure, from pocket to grinder to microwave to nasal cavity, in under ninety seconds

I really dont care to snort or shoot any drug. I like other people obviously am having a real bad reaction to oxy 80's op. I've been wondering if there was anything else I could ask my doctor to try. This sight is the first time I've seen the drug Opana. If this is really simular to the Oxy 80's, I'd like to ask him about it. Will he think I'm a drug addict for even mentioning this drug?

ruined, I do not sniff or shoot either. oxycotin has never worked on me so I can count the times i have tried it on my fingers. 7 years ago I fell off of a forklift and broke my neck in 4 places as well as giving myself brain damage. I was lucky to not be paralyzed but was left with severe chronic pain from the top of my head to the tip of my toes. My life is consumed with this pain to the point where I am bedridden for the most part. The first time I took an opana it was a 15 mg extended release. I puked all day long, but in between puking I was able to take my dog for a walk and actually had the desire to run so I did, which I never did before my accident. I was amazed to say the least. I couldn't get out of bed for 3 days after but I felt I was given a new lease on life other than the puking, which gradually went away in about a week. My lease on life was in for a rude awakening when I ran out, which I did after about 2 weeks since It was not my perscription. My accident happened at work making it very hard to find a Dr. willing to get involved in long term treatment. After 5 years of pure hell my law suit ended very bad for me leaving me with no medical insurance and no Dr. I moved back to my childhood town hoping to start over somehow. When I got here I was shocked that I could not find a Dr. willing to take me on as a patient. They did not want to get involved with the politics attached to my case, even though my case had been settled. Consumed with pain I had to get medicine from the streets. I was on about 15 lortab 10 a day and then a relative gave me their leftover prescription of opana to try. After the 2 weeks I ran out and begin to suffer from withdraw as soon as it was time for my next dose which I did not have. It was horrific. cold sweats, loose stools, stomache cramps, puking and my old friend severe chronic pain. I have tried every drug out there since my accident and never experienced anything like that before. I found a Dr. that would see me but he was not legally allowed to prescribe anything over lortab 10 so I was greatfull for any help I could get. After about 6 months with no relief from the lortab I worked up the nerve to ask my Dr. to refer me to pain managememt. It was easy for me to talk to my Dr. because he is so cool and down to earth, he has been a victim of chronic pain as well so he understands.The Dr. I have now will give me the opanas in a few months. I had to start on percocet then roxicodone and hopefully this month I will get the opanas. Since I have tried opana's no other pain medicine has helped at all. I have been taking the opana's for 2 years now whenever I can get them until I am able to get my own script and I still go through the withdraw each time even if I am on them for 1 day or 20 day's it is the same. Another thing to consider is the price. If you don't have insurance you are looking at anywhere from 300 to 1000 dollars to get them filled depending on the mg size, on the streets in my area about 2 dollars a mg. To me it is a small price to pay to be able to get out of bed. Other than the severe withdraw they make me feel normal not high but normal. I hope my story will help you make the decision that is best for you. good luck.

Sry that was suppose to say 40mg . I just need to know if whatever you are taking in opana would be doubled in mg. If it were an oxy...so a 20 opana is equal to a 40 oxy? And so on. Am talking about the opana ER

you can tell your dr that you are have a problm and dont want to take them anymore. your dr will not judge you because this seeing as how you are coming to them and not wanting to be on them anymore.i had to do the same as what im telling you.. they will lower your dose on a weekly bases and give you a diff type of med.. im no dr but i hope what i said helps you..

I was sitting at my house today thinking how damn lucky i was to not be withdrawing my balls off right now from those damn little yellow octagons... and anyone who is thinking about getting them prescribed from a doc... i suggest you highly reconsider, even if you THINK you have the will power to take them on an "as needed" basis i promise you the opana will take that will power right from underneath your ass and it will steal your soul, i promise you that. I've experienced MANY many a drug in my day and my will power has faultered to none EXCEPT this pill.. i mean not even the eighties phased me like these things do. The w.d's are about tenfold and you get these nasty feelings like someone is running pins and needles all over your entire body and it may sound wierd but your nipples will get super hard... lol its horrible and the only thing I ever found to help was suboxone... the strips work best BUT i WARN you once again if you think you can just replace the opana with the subs or if you think you can just take the subs whenever you w.d your going to end up screwing yourself out of the one thing that can heal you in the long run. You only need ONE strip! Don't even try to get prescribed them! one strip will last you through the brunt of the physical w.d symptoms then its up to you and your having a strong mind to resist the mental temptation to put it up your nose.
Good Luck! I hope some of you really benefit from this information and get yourselves cleaned up from this extremely addictive substance before it consumes your life. I'll keep you all in my prayers...
p.s. meetings really help

No my dr is so strict and they didnt think i was i told them that the oxy didnt work, and it hasn't in forever so I went to a site about compare pain meds & i did research and there is a site with all the pain meds and the only long acting one that where app. for me where fantanayl patches (those suck they always fall off if you ever sweat or shower patch is gone and no replacement!) Opana as I JUST found out it supposed to be 1/2 your dose of your oxy, like 80mgs oxy, would be 40mg opana, 1 pill 4 x's a day. Cause all ins co. only cover 4 pills a day no mater what mg. the only problem i have had is my dr lied and i was on 40mg oxy for 7 yrs (problem) & when switched to opana he put me on 10mg. & should have been atleast 20, and thru me into withdraw and I had broke my leg 2 days later so I will be wringing his neck any day now! Also the opana was like old oxy you could take it and it didnt have the anti abuse stuff that messes with your imed. release meds. Well as of march no more hex shaped opana now has the anti abuse too, so it does mess with your imed. release but not as bad as the oxy. I am not soaked in sweat, etc... from withdraw. A good point if you care about what ur ins pays is its $300 cheaper yet better acting?! Bad point the first month you have to find some place that has 120 40mg opana in stock cause not alot of people take it. like one out of 15 walgreen in ur city will have it so make them call around then you will have to drive to get it, tell ur store that found where to get it to odrer 120 for you, for that date every month!!! Good Luck

Is withdrawal bad after taking opana 30mg and roxicodone for 4 yrs.? What are withdrawal systems and is it dangerous to detox yourself?

Glad you mentioned the hexagon opana change due to anti-abuse formula changes. Didn't expect this to be a problem for me as I've never snorted and don't want to chew my lower dosage, extended release Opana. Mine was pink octagon;now pink and round. But it no longer stops my intractable, daily, migraine pain. The new stuff is like a ju-ju-bee that won't split. No matter, what does matter is I no longer have pain relief. I'll easily give up the occasional minutes of high from the old Opana, but the new stuff is useless to me as a painkiller.

Regarding withdrawals, the pharmacy fact pages that come with Opana originally stated that withdrawal was easier than with Oxycontin. I agree as I went through hell when I chose to go off Oxy and took the quick withdrawal plan my Doc gave me. I could be off the old formula Opana for several days without so much as a blink in my eye, but naturally my migraine pain returned. Have no idea of withdrawal agony on the new formula, but who cares when it no longer stops the pain?

Dilaudid is NOT the same as opana or oxymorphone. It is in fact HYDROmorphone, which in my experience is not as good as oxy.

Ur words brought me to tears. Best advice on here MEETINGS help. I was in a car accident going frm one patients house to another when I flipped my car 5 x's I'm grateful to be alive but the pain @ x's is unbareable. I had never taken a pill until my accident. No doctor tells u hey this one little pill if taken on a regular basis can cause u even worse pain if taken away. I want ppl to realize sumthing. I deal with pain daily have taken meds on the regular. This is a new one but remember don't abuse this drug or even anything as low as a lortab. I decided one day F.T.S I'm tired of meds I can do this. Cold turkey. After years. I did the withdrawl stuff or so I thot I was. Next I knew I was in the hospital n had 2 heart attacks. I'm 39. A doc is a person. Who is here to help u if they get u on them they can wine u off but if u have to take. Meds for ur quality of life. Addiction is a b#tch keep ur head on straight n NA meetings saved n I mean SAVED my life. It breaks my heart to hear ppl giving other ppl advice on how to get high. Sum kno how HORRIBLE it is getn off meds don't teach a person how to do this n tht to snort/shoot. U need a meeting n fast n a rehab. God bless n good luck. Just bc we need meds doesn't mean we have to b addicts.
