For Pain "I was on the Fentanyl patches 100 mg every 2 days. Then my doctor 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."

For Pain "Has been a lifesaver to me. I have a very long history with trauma and it has caused me a lifetime of serious pain: CRPS, fibromyalgia, PTSD. All my doctors had said the pain was 'in my head,' and hearing someone who SHOULD understand that you can have unimaginable pain due to trauma combined with other neurological and psychiatric issues. Thanks to my psychiatrist for prescribing this for me. It's helped with my depression, anxiety, and insomnia as well. My doctor and I have an incredible bond... A bond that has taken years, decades, to build the most respected form of trust. I DO NOT MESS WITH NOR USE MY MEDICATIONS FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHAT I'M PRESCRIBED. I keep my RXs to myself and hidden well. Do not mess with medicine. NOT INTENDED FOR RECREATIONAL USE, EVER!!!!"

For Pain "I took one dose of 20 mg of Opana ER. I became dizzy, woozy, lightheaded. I developed a pounding headache! I became extremely agitated and anxious. I became very shaky. My lower back pain increased, not decreased. Seven hours after taking this one dose, I had projectile vomiting."

For Pain "I just started with Opana ER 5 mg every 12 hours. The first time I used it, it did help with the pain, not much, but a little. Then, after a few days, I started suffering from some of the side effects. Anxiety attacks that verged on the near-panic-attack stage, difficulty breathing, and a few others. I told my doctor that I have heart problems, asthma, and a history of seizures, but he decided that he would give it to me anyway. I am glad that Opana ER works for some, but it is not the one for me."
