For Pain "Been taking Opana for 15 months now and couldn't be happier. Diagnosed with DDD in my L-4, L-5, S-1, scoliosis, and fibromyalgia 3 years ago. My PM doctor put me on MS Contin 60 mg 2x a day, which I had an allergic reaction to... My feet and legs swelled up. He then put me on a fentanyl patch 75 mcg, which my body did not tolerate, I ended up getting pains down my neck and severe nausea. A guy ran a red light and T-boned my side of the car. In the hospital, they gave me dilaudid for pain, which completely took my pain away. My doctor decided at that point to put me on EXALGO 12.5 mg 1x a day. Worked better than anything! Insurance stopped covering it, GAHH. Put me on Opana ER 20 2x a day and IR 3x a day. Amazing! No side effects!!!"

For Pain "I was taking the 60 mg OPs for a little over a year, I was on the regular oxycodone before the change. They were making me extremely nauseous, at times violent vomiting and dry heaving. It started with the nausea immediately, and then it seemed like every 3 months I would have a bout of nausea, vomiting, and dry heaving that would last for days. I was in the hospital 4 times this past year. I am taking Opana now. I have been on it almost a month, and guess what? No more of the daily nausea and worse again. Doing well on Opana. Wish I could have gotten it sooner. My insurance would not pay for it at first, but now they do! Good luck, everyone."

For Pain "Too strong for me. If taking Opana 30s for the first time, I suggest starting off with smaller doses then increasing gradually. Took one the other night, nausea set in and I vomited. Great loss of appetite, like on Adderall, minor drowsiness."
