I was given some opana ER 20 mg. I normally do not do pills. I may do some hydro pills like once every couple of months and thats maybe 14 mgs so my tolerence Is pretty low.
Ive been reading up and it looks like most people crush or IV small amounts of the ER. I was wondering since my tolerance is so low would that be necessary or would I feel anything from just taking it orally?

Also can it interact with other stuff I take on a regular basis? I take elavil 50 mgs and ambien 20 mgs every night.

Does it really last for 12 hours? I am just worried that if I take one and then ten or twelve hours from now when I take my other medicine that its gonna be bad. There are so many websites and shit out there about Opana and it being so dangerous and since I obviously have a low tolerence. I am sorry if I am being lame I was not sure where to ask this and a friend told me about this website.

thanks <3<3
 
I would not recommend banging it; banging pills is a bad idea in the first place, and opana (oxymorphone) is ridiculously strong.

I would recommend crushing it up and sniffing it, but I would not recommend sniffing the whole thing in one go. For someone with such a low tolerance to opiates, I would recommend sniffing maybe just a quarter or half of the pill to begin with and then re-dosing if need be.MOD NOTE: a quarter of a 20mg pill is still 5mg, which is very strong.

I wouldn't say that the high lasts for twelve hours, but it will still be working in twelve hours... if that makes any sense. I'm not so much worried about its interacting with the elavil, but the ambien... I don't know. I don't like the idea of someone who is relatively inexperienced with a new substance, a very powerful narcotic pain reliever in this case, then taking a powerful sleeping aid like ambien after dosing. It just doesn't sound all that safe, really.

But if you plan on taking the opana earlier in the day and then taking the ambien twelve hours later, I think you should be OK so long as you don't feel yourself still nodding from the opana.

Yeah, that should be fine. Just be careful and remember that you can always re-dose. If you have a hose clamp at your disposal (one of these: hose clamp) then you can actually shave down as much of the pill as you want into a fine, fine powder perfect for snorting.
 
Opana is very potent! You do not have a tolerance, so it will not take much to get off. How many mg is it? How do you plan to take it (ROA)?

It is also flippin' yummy!
 
WHOA! DO NOT SNORT 1/4 of a 20mg ER. That is 5mg's of opana, which would be like doing 25-30mgs of Hydrocodone (vicodin) I would start with like 1/16th of the pill and work up from there that is about 1.5mgs, which should feel like between 1-2 hydrocodone. It is very strong, and has a very unique high.

If you take it orally, you are really loosing out on alot since oral BA is 10%, snorted is 40%. Opana is 10x stronger than morphine mg/mg @100% BA, but orally 20mg opana would equal like 60mg oral morphine or 40mg oral hydrocodone.

If you only snort these once in a blue moon you don't need to worry about damage from the binders/ and er system, but I wouldn't make snorting these a habit.
 
doing opana when one doesnt use opiates alot is very dangerous, out of bad luck what if someone gets an opana 40 and hardly does opiates and sniffs it? (you will either be in the hospital that day or in a funeral home within days) shit is powerfull) Opana 10mg gets me high and i take suboxone 16mg daily, but i take a 2 day break when i take opana
 
I would break the pill into fourths, then crush 1/4 into a line and only do a SMALL amount of the line intranasally. You can always do more but never less.

When I first started taking Oxy, 5mg would wreck me.

5mg of Opana would have OD'd me quite easily.

PLEASE take it slow.
 
I am rxd Opana 10mg IRs and 20mg ER 4x a day, I would agree with th other replies and say to break it into 1/4s and start with half a line(2.5mg). You can always do more until you reach the desired effect. You also asked about duration, since you'll be crushing the pill you will defeat the Timerx time release mechanism, therefore decreasing duration to roughly 4-5 hours.

Snorting 5mg opana is roughly = to 30mg of oxycodone or ~ 40mg of hydrocodone, with no tolerence should get you off quite nicely, possibly a little nausea.
 
For sure you really want to be careful with Opanas. If you are to snort an Opana and you have not done it then yes, making a very small line will be good and then you can bang out some others throughout the day. When I first had a opana I did prob about 5mg of it and ended up fadding out so bad I was drooling on myself and puking. After time I grew a small tolerance to it. If I was to get a 40mg I cut the pill in-between the '4' and the '0' and make 3 lines out of one of the halve and thoes 3 lines will have me set for hours. I would really recomend never doing a whole pill at once. It's just too crazy to do it all, well for me it is. My buddy's tolerance grew so fast on Opanas that he was banging out 4 40mg a day morning through night and he was dead to the world. Forgetting shit, dropping his smoke onto his lap about 5 times while I was talking to him. Just be very careful and good for you that you have been reading up on it. My first time I didn't and I wish I did and was smarter about it.
 
First, the "old" Opana ER was fairly easy to crush. If this is what you have, I would lick the pill and wipe the coating off on a paper towel or something. When crushed up, it looks like little paint chips which can't be good for.

The new formulation of Opana ER, was designed to be crush proof. I have gotten some of these and much to my dismay, I could not crush them for insufflation.

If you have the older ones, I would crush it (after the outer coating has been removed) and do VERY LITTLE bumps until you get where you want. I would also allow it the sit in your nasal cavity as long as possible because the addition of water causes it to gel up. So, don't snort a few drops of water right after the bump. Wait a little while.
 
I'm just echoing in here mostly, but my tolerance was probably about 15mg hydrocodone when I first got my hands on oxymorphone...it was IR, but 5mg is VERY strong if you don't take opiates often, which I don't (I happened to rehurt my back and took them for a couple months straight, even then 8-10mg oxymorphone made me puke.) Literally, if you can crush this stuff up (it's got a HIGH oral BA) take 5mg and split it into 3 lines...the first time I used it, that's what I did, and I was amazed that I felt it after the first little line, so I did all three about an hour apart...and nodded my ass off. Be careful with this one, OP.

I get 180 Opana ER20s a month and the pharmacy orders them for me every month.

I asked the pharmacist about the new formulation and he said he doesnt expect to start seeing thm for a few months at the earliest.

I havnt heard of a single prson coming across thm yet eithr so I would bet he has the Timerx Opana
 
very powerful opiate!

I have a huge tolerance to opiates and the first time I did Opana ER I was literally fucked up out of my mind. I was at work and nodding off while on my feet. Then the nausea came and lasted for hours. I only did a few minuscule bumps and it was too much. Opana is the only opiate that has ever scared me into the realization that i cannot control myself and look sober enough to be in public. My eyes were fuckin pinpoints and I could not control the nod seated or standing up.

So yes, 5mg is way too much for the opiate naïve. For someone with no tolerance this could be disastrous. But as quickly as you wouldn't believe, your tolerance skyrockets and you'll be tripling your dose with less effect. Your tolerance goes through the roof and no other opiate can give you the desired effects that you are accustomed to without an extended period of abstinence. These have been my experiences, and everyone is different.

I get the ER 40s and always crush 4-5 tabs up and carry them in my glass vial. I then measure small knife bumps and backload then plug because this formula does not suit my sinuses. Like everyone has already stated, you can always add more if the need arises.

Its not that bad,I snort 2 to 2.5 opana 20's no problem and feel wonderful. When I'm off opana I take 4 mg of suboxone once daily under tounge. I only have to wait around 12-24 hrs to get high after last subs dose.I take around 6 a day for 2 weeks a month.

A friend of mine got Opana ER 10s. They were not the orange stop sign ones. They were pink and pink all the way through the pill. They would not crush.

Same with me. 5mgs of Oxycontin had me nodding last summer & I dont wanna think what Opana would have done.
 
I just took a Opana 40mg ER about an hour and a half ago...but I have a hydrocodone tolerance of around 150mg. For you with no real tolerance I would take NO MORE than a quarter of a pill and would start off less than that...with maybe a 1/16 or 1/8 of a 20mg pill first to see how you react to it. You can always take more if it is not enough, but if you take to much to begin with it could turn into an ugly situation...you don't want to OD. Hope that was some help. ;)
