Opioids Switching from the NEW Opana to what?

I doubt methadone would work effectively for me. And I wasn't aware that you could take methadone AND a full agonist together on a daily basis. Doesnt the methadone and oxymorphone/oxycodone/hydromorphone/etc counteract one another, at least to a certain extent?

I haven't had much of a past experience with methadone but when I have, I remember feeling somewhat nauseous and queesy.

I think that switching to hydromorphone would be my best bet, but I don't think there is a dosage high enough available in the US that would work for me. Converting nasal oxymorphone of ~240mg daily to hydromorphone is an extremely high daily allotment, right? And if the highest dosage per pill is 16mg of hydromorphone then I would need too many pills per day and per month. Am I right?

This is so frustrating!

no, they potentiate one another.

methadone's supposed to counteract the most commonly abused painkillers. I have an extensive methadone pdf document explaining all of this someone uploaded to this site and I downloaded it because it had great info not just about methadone. would you like a copy of it? anyone?
 
Things to consider with fentanyl:

1) It's much more dangerous, due to it being incredibly potent.
2) The patches suck, they are flimsy and certain factors like heat can cause dangerous amounts of fentanyl to be released.
3) Many users experience a moderate to pretty severe withdrawal while waiting for the new patch to kick in.

They make tablets and lollipops with fentanyl in it too; I wouldn't get on transdermal fentanyl if I was going to get on fentanyl.

I would recommend morphine. It is the best pain medication there is, nothing has been proven better than morphine whether IV/IM or oral. Any clinical study you read putting morphine up against any opioid, morphine is always either superior or equal to the other in effectiveness. It's never ever less effective than any of the other opioids they put up against it.

Some people are allergic to morphine though.
