BTW: I take all the pills orally and do not abuse or crush them. They are prescribed to me for major pain and injuries, and Doctor has no idea why it happens, so any response of "talk to your doctor" -- I already have which is why I was given sleep aids...
This is crazy. I take 30 to 40mg of Vicodin and 20mg Opana ER daily, one in morning and one at night. I normally only take 5mg hydro per dosage, problem is I take it every 2-3 hours. Sometimes I even will take another 5mg dose only 1.5 hours after last dosage. So I take small dosages of Vicodin throughout the day often.
So say I go bed to at 12 midnight, and take 10mg of Opana before bed. I can wake up as soon as 2am coughing in major WD with extreme chills, restless legs, crazy sweats, etc, etc, etc. It goes away after I take another pain pill, so yes it's WD no question. . So I take another Vicodin and fall back to sleep....Well, actually my normal 5mg Vicodin dosage for some reason doesn't work when I wake up in W/D I normally have to take at least 7.5mg of hydrocodone to fall back to sleep. My guess is because I'm not eating it food, as normally food increases it. But still Only to wake up coughing 2-4 hours later with same WD!! Sometimes I wake up as soon as 1.5 hours later in WD! I don't get it. I even tried to take: 10mg Opana right before bed + added an extra 10mg oxy right before bed. I still woke up about 3.5 hours later in WD!
Considering my normal dosage is only 5mg of Vicodin, how In the world can EXTENED RELEASE of 10mg Opana not stop WD for at least 8-12 Hours? According to a conversion: 10mg of Opana is equal to 30mg of hydro:
SO IN ONE 10mg OPANA PILL BEFORE BED IT'S EQUAL TO MY ENTIRE DAILY HYDRO DOSAGE!!! That's 6x stronger than my normal 5mg hydro dosage... So there is no reason I should be having WD at all...It's like equal to releasing 6 of my 5mg hydros over night. So how I can still wake up in WD is baffling. It's NOT the BA of Opana because I tried taking 20mg of oxy before bed and I still wake up in WD, and oxy has high BA... I used to be on oxy before the Opana.
What the heck. Is there any reason for this? Anything I can try to stop it? I haven't slept a full night without waking up constantly in like a month. I now take sleep aids like lunesta or Ambien for sleep, and even tried Remeron (which is like a super strong benadrly X10
+ an antidepressant). They knock me out for sleep but I still wake up in WD every few hours... So sleep aids don't work.. Any other options?
