Both Oxycodone and Opana are very powerful narcotic pain medications. However, Opana (Oxymorphone) is said to be approximately 2x stronger than Oxycodone. In that regard, it may be a more desirable option for short-term pain relief. For longer relief, you can always check and see if Opana ER is covered under your insurance as well...

Keep in mind though that all opioids have different effects, where as there is no such thing as "equivalent" dosages. An "equivalent" dosage for one person could cause another to OD. With that said, I would only recommend taking proper dosing advice from your doctor.

Hope this helps!

Opana's new formulation is a horror. why don't your docs have you on #5 10 mcgs oxy IR a day? they are super cheap and you could break them in half if needs be
