Both Oxycodone and Opana are very powerful narcotic pain medications, that carry a risk of serious side effects, addiction and overdose.

That said, we aren't medical professionals to advise you on this, you really need to speak to your doctor. You may require a dosage adjustment or a different medication to get your pain under better control.

Here's the links to more information on both of these medications:

Have you tried talking to your doctor?

Hi Stacy!

Do you mind if I asked who made that recommendation?

There are several other options you can try, before resorting to Methadone, such as Hydromorphone, Morphine and Oxycodone.

Methadone is just another narcotic, opiate. It is sometimes used for cases of severe, chronic pain, however it has the disadvantage of being highly addictive. Many people can never get off of it.

It can cause side effects such as: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth.
