What New Opioid Is The Best? (Page 2)

Updated

I'm taking oxymorphone 20mg ER. I used to take the 30's which worked wonders. Now my msil in pharmacy is not filling for this anymore. So my question is what new opioids are equivalent to my oxymorphone? Exalgo, Morphabond, Methadone, Fentanyl, Demerol, Nucynta or Fentanyl? Anyone taking any of these I'd like your opinion. I really don't want to change meds but.....

These days it doesn't really matter which drug your doctor uses. They've all been reformulated to basically eliminate the oxytocin release from the pituitary gland which accounted for 75% of the effectiveness of synthetic opiates.

Years back everyone in pain wondered why your medications no longer worked very well on your pain... Now you know...

The PDR Physicians Desk Reference shows the reformulation. Look at a 10 year old PDR and a 2019 PDR and you'll see the difference in the chemical tree, the information and footnotes. I can't tell you exactly when it started because it varies from medication to medication, but it definitely started during the Obama administration. Which is when the FAKE opioid crisis started...

Yes they've played us for years and now you know the real facts. Even a lot of injectables have been made less effective to stop abuse. The government figures if you can't feel high from the euphoria you can't/won't abuse it, but where does that leave those of us suffering?... They could care less...

So basically your doctor who was told or suggested (laughing, it was or else!) to prescribe less of an inferior drug to help you tolerate your pain and keep quite about it! The government looks at this as a success because they truly believe they've gotten away with it...

Some of you have seen me talk about oxytocin before in the past. Late last year a doctor showed me all this info using a 2009 PDR and a 2018 PDR. So this means doctors and pharmacists knew about this reformulation and were complicit in this whole scam upon pain patients.
Like I said, the government actually thinks it's a success! But myself and I would imagine all of you too have had your quality of life suffer for years now because of this!

Let these people know that you now know the oxytocin release from the pituitary gland has been greatly lessened or inhibited from occurring from the medications they're prescribing to you. My pharmacist tried to BS me on this and say this isn't necessarily true. I told her to show me her 2018 PDR last year and I'll show her exactly what it says about oxytocin! Needless to say she conceded and said, yes this has been kept quiet for some time now, but more people like me who won't let it go and want an answer are finding it out in a PDR.

A lot of you are getting less of an inferior pain medication that's around 75% or so less effective, your quality of life is horrible and no one but you, family or friends actually care about your suffering because of the government tampering with your life saving medication and think you're not smart enough to figure out what they've done... Millions of people complaining about suffering immensely now because of pain medication that's almost worthless and everyone in this sham is as quiet as a church mouse!

They all have NO shame!!!

Wow great read, I believe you 100% and you're right. But my question is what does a PDR stand for? And once again it's forcing people to go out on the street and score "H" or extra pain pills to just cope every month. I appreciate you bringing this to light. I wonder if I brought this up to my pain doc he would finally bump me back up to my 30mg oxymorphone ER instead of these garbage 20's that aren't worth a s***!! Probably not even tho in so many words my doc told me to let my pill dissolve under my tongue and/or chew it. Everything short of insufflating it. I mean really I couldn't believe my ears when he told me this. But I wouldn't have to do any of that if he just bumped me up a stanking ass 10mg to the 30's but noooooooo, can't do that, that would be wrong.

Hello, came across your thread while trying to find the one I have been a part of for 4 years. I have tried all of them except the new KETAMINE nasal spray. I was given a prescription for hydromorphone, but when I went to get it filled, they said it was $500.00 with United as my insurance! I said no thank you. The one that had worked best for me was methadone. It was my ER and I use oxycodone 20 mg for IR. Fentynal patches couldn't get passed my fatty tissue, Embeda sent me into congestive heart failure, Xtampza caused migraines and swelling, I was on Oxycotin and it worked, it was just $300.00 a script. It got to the point where I had to choose, pay my mortgage or get my medication! I love in Colorado and I have an amazing doctor. So if you find something that works long term please share your experience so we all can benefit. I will do the same. May you all have less pain tomorrow than you did today!

Well Mark after reading your thread it makes perfect sense. I was just telling my friend last Thursday that something changed in my body around Sept 2014, up until then, I was walking 8 miles a day, dropping weight and holding down a job. I was in a major car accident on 2/10/14 and I was still able to move forward with life and activities. Then suddenly on September 12th 2014, I started feeling heavy, legs were weighted down and muscles were overly sore. I journal everything and I didn't know what was happening. I went to my doctors and asked for MRI's and X-Rays they just told me it was age and arthritis. I told them it is like someone flipped a switch, it seemed to have happened overnight and they told me that was a common, normal feeling. I left feeling defeated and just gave up. I thought I was going insane!
Thank you for shedding some light on my very dark existence.
