Switching from morphine to opana

[HT harm redux]

I was recently taking 100mg of mscontin every 12 hours, my doctor switched me to opana because of a rash. They converted the dose to 20mg of opana. Im going through slight withdrawals, headache nausea cramps pain etc. and i went to the opana website and converted the dose with their conversion chart. and it said i should go to 34mg of opana every 12 hours, which means i should be on 30mg pills instead of 20 right? why would he lower it like that?

So you switched from 200mg Morphine to 40mg Opana daily. Hmm I'd imagine some slight withdrawals. Tell your doctor that you converted the dose on the Opana website and it showed you should be on a higher dose. Maybe make a print out and show it to him.

I would try that, but i cant afford another prescription of it. 60 of the 20s and 95 of my roxycodone 15s came to over 415 dollars. I would really like to show him and print it, but even if he did write a new script and take my old, i sadly wouldnt have the money for it for a month or so. What should I do as far as these withdrawals go. i still have some 60mg ms contin i was thinking about tapering down to that from 100mg THEN starting my opana. do you think that would be a good idea? I dont have the rashes on the 60mg mscontin. And I dont want to overuse my roxys for obvious reasons.

if you start getting really low, you might be able to get a little more out of your opanas by snorting them, might help you make it to the end of the month if you control yourself

You won't be sorry

Snort the Opana it should help the WD.. take the printout to your dr and get upped.

I tried snorting it and it just gelled up in my nose and hurt like hell. And i cant afford another script. i have no insurance and this script was around 300 bucks. i dont have that kind of money til next month. I wish they had like a refund type thing for doctor screw ups.

even that opiate conversion tool said i should be at around 30mg of opana. and thats the separate conversion tool, not the one on the opana website. luckily i have promethazine for the nausia so i can at least keep my meds down. last time i was dosed wrong i couldnt keep my meds down and went into full withdrawal and ended up in the ER for the night. Or were you talking about snorting the mscontin? i still have maybe 15 of them. the 60mg ones. i was thinking of just dosing down to that then switching to the opana. or maybe taking both then gradually reduce the amount of morphine i take til i just am taking the opana

This morning instead of taking just one, I took 2 of the 20mg. I took them at about 9am EST. and then consumed leftover pizza, ive been buzzing for about 2 hours, and i got the opiate itch for the first time in years. I dont even need my roxys at this dose. wow.

40mg is a good dose for someone with a low to mild tolerance to Opana.
