User Reviews for Oxymorphone

Opana (oxymorphone) for Pain: This is a wonderful pain pill. I tore my sacroiliac and could barely walk because of the pain. I have a high tolerance for pain medications and have tried pretty much everything and this one surpassed everything I tried and I had no side effects.

Opana (oxymorphone) for Pain: I have been taking 4 of the 40mg for about two years, because it works better than anything else I have had, and that is every other narcotic, for my spondilolisthesis. It kills the pain and I can work like a 20 year old and do everything I want, but without it, I feel like the 48 year old I am. I highly recommend this pain medicine to anyone with chronic pain. I would much rather take these than have bone fusion surgery.

Opana (oxymorphone) for Pain: Was on Oxycontin 160mg every 12 hours for 4 years and had tried Opana at same dose last year WITHOUT BEING TOLD TAKE ON EMPTY STOMACH, so when my new doctor changed me at first I was scared and skeptical, however 25 days on 40mg Opana every 12 hours ON EMPTY TUMMY and I am AMAZED. I believe if we increase daytime dose a tad I will feel better than I have in 18 years, so anyone who didn't have a good experience with it needs to think if they ate with it. My doctor said if there is ANY food in your stomach the food absorbs part of it and it doesn't get in your system as well and it WILL NOT WORK FOR THE 12 HOURS IT SHOULD. I saw people making both statements so I hope this will help others.

Opana (oxymorphone) for Pain: I have had a lot of back pain for a few years but since my doctor has put me on Opana I have never felt better. I can go about my life without the worry of being in so much pain at the end of the day. What a relief it has been. A pure God send.

Opana (oxymorphone) for Pain: This is one of the best drugs I have taken. I am able to do things I need to do. I can walk and clean house. Before taking Opana all I could do was lay on the couch. I have rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia and Hepatitis C. This is the only drug that has ever helped me.

Opana ER (oxymorphone) for Pain: I was on the Fetanyl Patches 100 mg every 2 days. then my doc put me on opana 40, 3 times a day and I think they work just as good if not better. It didn't give me the anxiety or weird feelings I get off certain pain pills.

Opana (oxymorphone) for Pain: Before Opana, I was taking 100mg Morphine 3x daily for my lower back pain from a bulging disc at L5-S1. The pain relief from the Opana is better than any other pain medication that I have tried.

Opana (oxymorphone) for Pain: Been on fentanyl patches for 3+ years now. Wear 2 50mcg patches. Recently started on Opana er 20mg twice a day and only wearing 1 patch changed every 48 hours. Pain level has gone up slightly but also side effects from the patch have decreased which to me for now is a acceptable trade off. Breakthrough pain occurs sooner, but have not tried the higher dosage yet. Have somewhat raised expectations to come off patches by end of the year.

Opana ER (oxymorphone) for Pain: I have been in terrible lower back pain for over 2 years. After numerous MRI's and other tests and alot of different doctors, nothing showed up that should be causing that much pain. They did find a problem in my L1 disc but nothing major. I have a very high tolerence for pain and could barely function. All the different doctors put me on Vicodin 10/325 but it only worked for an hour. The doctors treated me as if I was a drug addict even my pain management doctor. After I took a so called routine drug test, my very next visit after she saw I passed my drug test she put me on Opana ER 20mg. Instantly my back pain was 90% gone. I don't feel high, just pain free. I forgot what that felt like. My pain level went from a 10 to a 3 instantly.

Opana (oxymorphone) for Pain: Currently taking 2 x 10mg ER and up to 4 x 5mg IR. Tolerance has developed quickly, what used to take the pain away only half way dulls it now. My doctor is not convinced of my pain, I have asked for more but he without coming right out and saying no has refused me increased dosage. My advice is even though Opana works well initially, you will develop tolerance rapidly and require more in order to provide pain relief. I do have several bulging discs but for some reason my doctor does not see this as cause to increase the dose, only continue the same dose that I began with about 9 months ago. Sorry for the rant but it may be something you might have not considered if I had not brought it up. From what I have gathered from independent research of Opana and Oxycodone, Opana has the greatest tolerance increase potential between the two.

Opana (oxymorphone) for Pain: The doctor's instructions were to take 1-2-or 3 tablets at bedtime for cervical pain. I tried 3 on 3 different evenings and, unfortunately, had absolutely no pain relief. I also tried for pain in hip and thigh with no results. (I do have a very high pain threshold and, consequentially, need strong pain meds). Haven't yet found drug for pain relief at night.

Opana (oxymorphone) for Pain: This medicine has been very effective however it doesn't last the full 12 hours of pain relief as it is prescribed. For me it lasts about 8 hours. I did get horrible constipation so stay hydrated. Never flush unused drugs down the toilet. It can severely effect fish and other animals along the watershed. Water treatment plants do not treat for disposed drugs.

Opana ER (oxymorphone) for Pain: I recently had a back operation and was put on Roxicodone and 20 mg Opana ER. It works very well in my opinion. I am able to move around more and not sleep all day due to pain, I would recommend it for anyone with chronic or severe pain.

Opana ER (oxymorphone) for Pain: I have Degenerative Disks in L-1 thru L-4, with Herniation in L-4, L-5, and S-1. Also have nerve root damage, which causes pain radiating to my left hip, left leg, and bottom of feet. I take 2, Opana ER 20mg tablets a day. Opana ER works fairly well on controlling my back pain, while it's not eliminated totally, I'm able to function better on most days with the help of Lortab 10 mg for breakthrough pain along with my Opana ER.

Opana ER (oxymorphone) for Pain: I have had two operations one on my lumbar and one on my cervical spine and have been on a lot of other pain meds and by far this best meds I have been on. This is way better than oxycontin and other meds. oh what relief I feel alot better.

Opana (oxymorphone) for Pain: I have Lupus, arthritis and had most of my back crushed in a auto accident. Opana is the ONLY pain medication that has relieved a majority of my pain throughout the day. I take 40mg every 8 hours and I am able to walk around and do things I couldn't do before when I was on the patches and all the other drugs I tried. Opana is the best long term medication that keeps working without fail for me.

Opana (oxymorphone) for Pain: Doctor had me on 100mg morphine er 2 x a day, the side effects were really bad. He put me on Opana ER 40mg 2 x a day and Opana IR 5 mg for break through pain its the best pain med ever been on. I have spinal stenosis degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis. Was in terrible pain before Opana now at least I can stand to be alive again.

Opana ER (oxymorphone) for Pain: I've had one back surgery so far, a L5 S1 fusion which didn't work and I'm in alot of pain. I have tried many other pain medications, narcotic and non-narcotic to try to manage my pain, along with acupuncture and physical therapy. Finally my doctor gave me Opana (extended and immediate release) and I get such wonderful much needed pain relief from them. I still get some breakthrough pain but these work so much better than anything else I have tried, including oxycontin, and I'm so thrilled.

Opana (oxymorphone) for Pain: Love it! Nothing better, works wonders for chronic migraines and arthritis plus it gets me back on my feet as if I was a teen again. Gives me the little boost needed to get me through my day with limited side effects. I would recommend doctors prescribe this medicine over any other narcotic pain killers. This pill has really saved my life. It's truly amazing.

Opana (oxymorphone) for Pain: I was on 200 mcg of Fentanyl Patchs, and 100mg of MS Contin 3 times a day and 30mgs of MSIR (instant release morphine) 3 times a day for almost 7 years for these horrible migraines I have constantly. These medicines were not helping anymore after being on them for so long. About 6 months ago I changed doctors who switched me to Opana ER. I am taking 80mgs every 12 hours along with 600mcg Fentora 3 times a day for breakthrough pain. I have not had any side effects from the Opana at all which is wonderful and I can function daily and not be laid up in bed constantly. I would definitely recommend Opana ER but just think about something for breakthrough pain in case it is needed.

Opana (oxymorphone) for Pain: Opana is the only thing that can help me sleep through the night when I have serious pain.

Opana (oxymorphone) for Pain: Opana has worked better than anything I have been prescribed. I have several bulging discs, 4 in the lower back and 4 mid back. I was taking 3000 milligrams of Vicodin daily, 8 to 10 x 325 mg tabs. Now, I take 2, 20 milligram Opana daily, and only 2 or 3 Vicodin as needed. Be sure to take Opana on an empty stomach, and don't eat for about 2 hours. Opana is incredible, my next Doctor's visit, I will request a slightly higher dose, and quit the Vicodin all together. Thank you Opana!

Opana ER (oxymorphone) for Pain: For years, I have had L1-L2 pain from a compression fracture and moderate disc degeneration. The pain relief from this is so much better than anything else I have taken, and I can go about my normal life without feeling drugged up like Oxycontin or other narcotic pain killers. Not 100% relief yet though. I've only had it for a few weeks and my doctor and I are still working to find the right dosage. I'm on 15mg every 8 hours at the moment and will probably move up to 20mg soon. It's very promising though.

Opana (oxymorphone) for Pain: I liked opana but my docoter put me back on oxycontin 60mgs. For the time I was on it, it worked really well for my pain. Its a great drug to be on if you need it.

Opana ER (oxymorphone) for Pain: The best medicine I have taken for my pain.
