Synthesis of oxymorphone hydrochloride from OxyContin?

[zaborav]

I have read that oxymorphone hydrochloride (Opana) can quite easily be made from oxycodone HCl with a few common chemicals and not a very difficult process. As oxymorphone is so much stronger and my doc refuses to increase my OxyContin script, I would love to make each monthly script into the far more potent oxymorphone; apparently yield is around 65% but the difference in strength means that in IR form I would get over five times the analgesia by using this synthesis.
Can anybody enlighten me on methods and what is required? Also the actual figures which would make the increase in analgesia more clear to me.
I am no real chemist, just a 'play' chemist, but this is one thing that could easily solve my prescription problems by giving me a far superior analgesic in far higher quantity than the original tablets are giving at the moment.
Help, anyone?

Synthesis discussion is not allowed on BL. You may want to look elsewhere.

Like The.Ghost said synth discussion isn't allowed, but I will say this: if you don't have a solid education in O-chem you should stay the fuck away from anything more complicated than growing shrooms or extracting DXM, as the probability of you producing a toxic/ineffective product is so high there is no fucking way to justify the risk vs. reward ratio of messing with stuff like this.

Sorry, we don't allow discussion of drug synthesis on this site, as has been mentioned.

Closed.
