Well, Oxycodone metabolizes into Noroxycodone and Oxymorphone when it reaches the liver (read Oxycontin prescribing information it is in there).
It IS stronger to take pure Oxymorphone no matter how you cut it... see what most people THINK is
"Just because I do not feel it, it is either NOT WORKING, or NOT STRONG ENOUGH... So I need to take more."
This is not true... just because you are not "feeling" it does not mean it did not actually go into your body. Also what MOST people do NOT know is, A LOT of people do not have the correct enzyme in their liver to metabolize Oxycodone into Noroxycodone and Oxymorphone... you have to be tested for it...
If the test comes back that you do not have the enzyme, the doctor has no choice but to give you something stronger than Oxycodone... like Methadone, Hydromorphone, Oxymorphone, or Fentanyl.
Also, again about insufflating Opana... I have SEEN with my own two eyes people snorting it... A LOT... no one I saw doing it has had ANY negative effects like gelling or a barrier being formed so it fails to absorb.
If you eat a full meal (preferably high in fat content) you get your plasma up and then snort Opana, the absorption, pain relief, and euphoria is very high... end of story.
I hope more information surfaces about Opana... it is SO NEW and everyone is saying something different about it... Opana either SUCKS or is AMAZING...
I CANNOT believe that there is such controversy over it... I am here saying it is amazing and snorting a 20mg Opana on a full meal is equal to a 60-80mg Oxycodone... other people come back and say they are worthless and they do not work at all...
For me... I never/ever snort anything... I swallow the Opana whole with a meal and it does wonders for me... and I have been on EVERY PAIN KILLER... because of my knee operations and the permanent condition I have.
P.S. At one point I was on 1 name brand 40mg OC every 4 hours... Q4H... and that is WITH waking up at night (like in the hospital) and taking it. 4X6=24 hours... 6-40mg name brand OC a day.
