User Reviews for Opana ER

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

Opana ER (oxymorphone) for Pain: I crashed a motorcycle almost ten years ago at 80 mph. I am lucky to be alive and walking. I have tons back problems now though. The doctors fed me high doses of every narco out there. I became addicted to the feeling of being painfree, no matter how many pills I had to take. Life got unmanagable and I was tired of it. After ten years of this I decided to start from scratch and clean up and get re-evaluated and try a different path. I was put on suboxone 8mg for about 8 months to treat the addiction. After that I had no desire to put a pill in my mouth. SUBOXONE WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE. Just taking Opana ER 30mg twice a day now.

Opana ER (oxymorphone) for Pain: I have Trigeminal Neuralgia, which is the "most painful condition known to man", and Opana ER is the first medication that has ever actually helped with this type pain. It has worked better for me than any other pain medicine and it lasts FAR longer than any other extended release medications I've tried. Because this works better for me, I am able to take less/lower dose than other medicines- which means I can function at a much higher rate. Many patients with this condition do not take (narcotic) pain medication because Trigeminal Neuralgia does not usually respond well to them. However, for me, this is the 1st and only medicine that has actually helped with my level of pain and it has allowed me to have a much higher quality of life!

Opana ER (oxymorphone) for Pain: I have spinal stenosis and compressed discs. They said I could not have surgery because of other health issues so medication was the only alternative. Taking Opana ER, I am able to do things I need to do. I can do so much more than I was able to do before. Before taking Opana I was in a wheelchair and cane. All I could do was lay on the bed or couch. I am now taking 20 mg every 12 hours. This is the only drug that has ever helped me.

Opana ER (oxymorphone) for Pain: I had 3 back operations and on the second one I had two implants put in my L5 disc. The second and 3rd operation was about 2 1/2 years ago. Since then I was taking one 30mg Oxycontin 3 times per day and two 10mg Percocet 3 times per day. Then the Oxycontin got reformulated and did not only quit helping with the pain but also made me sick. So after talking with my pain management doctor he suggested and prescribed 40mg Opana twice a day along with my Percocet. This medicine worked so much better then the Oxycontin. The pain is gone.

Opana ER (oxymorphone) for Pain: This Opana is an excellent medication!! I was taken off of oxycontin 60mg and am now on Opana ER 30 mgs. They work so much better than the oxycontin for my pain, and the euphoric side effects aren't too bad to boot either. I would say that a twenty mg opana is equivalent to a forty mg oxy. The thirties are equivalent to about a sixty plus. A very good medicine for pain!!

Opana ER (oxymorphone) for Pain: When I first started taking this medicine, it was not working and I was upset that I switched from the Roxicontin 30s. I changed back to my original script but a new doctor convinced me to try the Opana once again. I took the doctor's advice and this time it worked-actually quite well. I am virtually pain free and able to play with my kids again.

Opana ER (oxymorphone) for Pain: I am fused from C3 to C7 and from L1 to S1. I have nerve damage because of a botched operation. I have taken this medicine for 3 years. It is the only drug I have been able to take for this length of time and not have to titrate it up. I would take it forever but my insurance company has decided that I only need two tablets a day. I currently take 2 x 40mg ER tabs 3 times a day. This was a great medicine for me and anyone on long term use should at least try it.

Opana ER (oxymorphone) for Pain: I have been on pain medicines since 1993 for back pain. I have been taking Oxycontin 40 Mg 3x per day, last month my pain management Doctor said that he was no longer writing for Oxycontin because of it showing up on the streets of our community. He said I had the choices of Morphine, Methadone, or Opana ER. I chose Opana so now I am on 30mg twice a day. The only benefit that I am experiencing is that it takes away the withdrawal symptoms and they don't drop you like when an Oxycontin wears off but for me the pain is still there.

Opana ER (oxymorphone) for Pain: I recently started on Opana ER 20 mg, every 12 hours with Opana 5 mg as needed (up to two) for break through pain. Opana is amazing. I have very little break through pain and it's not bad at all. I have no side effects from the Opana and was taking a total of 60 mg's of Norco (per 24 hours) prior to this. The best thing is no more horrible pain like when the Norco was wearing off. I feel human again and can shop and do things I did before I got hurt. I would like to note that I have read a lot of things on various web sites that seem as though people are looking to get high from pain medicines as opposed to live pain free from them. After I had my surgery a year ago I had that horrible feeling of being "stoned" from simple Hydrocodone and I hated it.

Opana ER (oxymorphone) for Pain: It actually worked

Opana ER (oxymorphone) for Pain: It has helped better than any other medication. Does not make me feel drugged.

Opana ER (oxymorphone) for Pain: I can not believe the cost of OPANA ER! After my wife and I pay our deductible for the OPANA ER we still get the shaft! I take four a day and after insurance I pay $250.00 for 30 days and my wife takes six a day for 30 days and hers is $350.00 after insurance pays! This is ludicrous. When I was given this medicine last year I decided that I was not going to take any more test or take any more medicine unless if is generic and cheap and that the tests were paid a 100%.

Opana ER (oxymorphone) for Pain: I think it works well.

Opana ER (oxymorphone) for Pain: Has really made a positive difference to me but my insurance will not cover it anymore!

Opana ER (oxymorphone) for Pain: This medication has given me no pain relief. All it has done is give me about every side effect listed in the warnings and a few more. After a Utility pole fall over 15 years ago I was doing just fine on Flexeril until I had a drug interaction and my doctor has been searching ever since for another drug. I have tried 3 different ones at this point and am getting frustrated.

Opana ER (oxymorphone) for Pain: Opana ER was the absolute best pain medication for long term use that I have ever used. I was on the medication for approximately 21/2 to 3 years until I developed a severe itching problem (head to soles of feet) from its use. If that had not happened I would still be using it and be virtually pain free 24/7.

Opana ER (oxymorphone) for Pain: When I first started taking Opana original formula I was overjoyed. Finally a medication that relieved my pain. Then the new formula came out and I literally cried. Why did you change a medication that worked so well? I realize that you're trying to make your medication abuse proof, but you did so at the expense of the legitimate Opana users who take the medication as prescribed. The new formula gives me no where near the relief of the old formula and it also takes twice as long to work.
