I recently have been using opana. I have 30 mg ER pills, so i insuffulate.
about 2 weeks now. abount 1-1.5 pills a day.

before that i was using roxies, vicodin and opana 20

when i dose in the morning, i use a little bit to help get me out of bed. after my 2nd dose, i feel very tired and hard to keep my eyes open and i font feel high at all.

i do not measure out any of my doses.

am i taking too much?

also, when i take a large dose shortly before fall asleep, i wake up in the muddke if the night sweating profusely. is this from withdrawals?

thanks in advance
 
Ive never taken Opana but from everything ive read, its really strong & sedating. This is why you may feel tired. As for why you are waking up sweating, someone else will have to answer this.
 
Opiates mess with the natural order of things, even for long term addicts who are "used to it." the getting tired part midway through your total doses for the day is ust part of the beast. try no taking them, and then you'll see the type of monster you're dealing with (even just skipping a dose). i always had the same problem with pill opiates when I was just trying to maintain the intake, regarding the sedation. It comes ime, from being forced to do something that makes you bored, or from being in an environment where you're not allowed to take a nap or nod off for an hour and a half (i.e. work). They pretty much disrupt life with daily use, as I'm sure you'll see in your own personal way.

yes. get used to it getting worse and worse.
 
well the crazy part is that i was self medicating for 2 months (2 months up to memeroial day) with opanas and i never felt like this.
 
Opana (oxymorphone) is a -morphone opiate, and like its cousin, hydromorphone, it is very sedating and even in low to medium doses, can certainly make you very tired and make you nod out.

If its a serious problem you can do what a lot of users of the more sedating opiates do, drink a cup of coffee in the morning before you dose. :)
 
I followed that exact trajectory on opiates. A little taste to get up and out of bed, felt good and motivated, slightly euphoric....then got a tolerance and would dose twice what i used to and get a slumped over tired "unnghh, i'm kinda high i think...this is still sorta fun..." feeling

***Guys i don't think he's nodding, he says he doesn't feel high at all. Like where i used to take 2 5mg hydrocodone orally and get a nice lift, i now chew 6 and am half slumped over waiting for that high to come...but only it's inbred 3rd cousin ever shows up.


Your situation is a little different, it sounds like you're just not getting anything out of your 2nd dose, which is also common. That rush you get is a first dose kind of feeling.

The night sweats do sound like possible W/D. I'd take a break for 7-10 days and you'll likely notice your old tolerance back.
