I am currently prescribed 30mg of Morphine ER, twice daily (60mg total). I talked to my PM doctor and had a chance to switch from 15mg Morphine ER, twice daily to
5mg Opana ER, twice daily. I had hard copy in hand and tried to fill it at my hospital. They said they didn't carry it. It also turns out that the medicine required a prior authorization from my insurance. I didn't have enough left over pain medication to cover me through the wait. I ended up getting my Morphine ER bumped up to 30mg X 2 per day, so I would have something.
The 30 Morphine ER X 2 per day, actually isn't too bad.
I tried an ER/CR Opana pill twice before. I thought it was 8mg. It was differently less then 10mg. If I remember correctly, It was hard as a rock. It was lay in bed all day and watch TV strong.
Now as strictly a pain medicine, would I have better analgesia and overall stronger feeling with a 5mg Opana ER, twice daily, versus 30mg Morphine ER, twice daily ?
Thanks,
