Opana (oxymorphone) vs. OxyContin (oxycodone) for pain

[Mazz115]

I am chronic pain sufferer due to numerous cervical and lumbar surgeries. Latest one In Sept,Posterior Lumbar intervertable fusion.For the last 6 months or so ive been perscribed 80mg OC 6x;s a day and 10mg Oxy ir 4x's a day for B/T. I have been able to secure the old OC formulation until now. One time so time ago I had to get the latest op's in 60 strength.They did not help me at all and made me sick and also got migraines. In regard to harm reduction,im concerned now because im considering asking to be switched to opana and ive heard its much stronger than OC. I;ll admit sometiimes I alter the ROA..mainly insuffilation. Hence my nervousness w/OPana.This may sound redundant because i,m going to try to obtain oxy ir's in 30mg strength.However,I know if im able to obtain Opana,Im sure i will insuf.them as well.You all may say to just stay w/the new OC OP's and use the ir's however for various reasons the op's as stated arent agreeable w/me. Any suggestions please.
Thx.

I've heard many stories of pain patients not receiving the same level of analgesia from the new OP formulation, so I understand your concern.

I recommend checking out the opiate conversion chart in my signature. However, because every pain patient is different, your doctor is the best person to ask about switching to Opana (oxymorphone) for your pain management.

(I also edited the title of your thread for easier searching in the future, feel free to PM me if you have any questions).
