Difference Between Opana And Oxycontin (Page 3)

I have MS and need pain relief. I don't like the stigma oxycontin has to it. I simply don't find it helpful. Is Opana a good substitute? I take 5 mg of oxycodone for breakthrough pain but sometimes it is not enough. If I don't deal with the pain appropriately I get sicker and more fatigue. I am not familiar with narcotics at all. I will admit a fear of them. Any answers please.

I have been on Opana ER at different doses at different times, i.e. Before back surgery. I have none of the symptoms that I'm reading about. It takes care of my pain without any drowsiness or feeling of being high. It has allowed me to have some quality of life that I didn't have before taking this. I tried OxyContin but that made me sick, my body could not process it properly.
However the makers of Opana ER have been asked by the FDA to stop making them and they are going to hone that request.

Exactly. I suffer from severe RA, osteoarthritis and fibromalagia combined with scizzoeffective, chronic depression and anxiety, introvert and PTSD. I ask for my pain medication to be taken away from me bc of junkies that tend to watch people in pharmacy for people tgey suspect of using opiates and get their leads from people and follow them from pharmacy and if your lucky your vehicle will get broke into and pills stolen before they flow you home. My pain meds were stolen twice with police report made. Last theft was from my home and I'm not putting my aging mother I take care of that lives in my home in danger of these druggies breaking in or us walk in during process of looking for drugs. They found my floor safe and got it open. So I live in pain just to stay safe.

Your quality of life is far more important than stigma or what people think. Diacetymorphine is pharmaceutical grade Heroin and is invaluable for terminal illness. You take what you find works, others opinions have no bearing. Cannabis had a stigma, now studies are proving politicians held a very helpful substance from the public for years. Forget stigma. Improve your life.

Re: dennis (# 9)

I pray every day they come up with 1 pain med actually takes away most or all of my pain, to not put me thru god awful debilitating withdrawal sickness, not feeling high, buzzed or addicted. Just one day without debilitating chronic pain and not worry if I got enough to get me thru my work week. That's what I pray for. Those who don't suffer will never understand. Just saying.
