For Pain "When I first started out in pain management, I must have tried 4-5 different meds. First, morphine and oxycodone. It worked okay, but my tolerance to the oxycodone went way too high, working my way to 30 mg. I had enough of it because I started to take more. I am NOT going to turn myself into an abuser. So I talked to him, and he put me on Dilaudid. I suffer from horrible mood swings, and this one made me so depressed. So he took me off all of those combos and put me on OxyContin ER and oxymorphone for breakthrough pain. Well, let me tell ya, that was it. No depression, and my pain is so much better. So I am out of pain, living a productive life again. I will say this to all the people in pain management and taking their meds RIGHT: don't ever let anyone judge you for taking care of you. Because if you are doing what you are supposed to do, then screw 'em."

Oxymorphone 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!!!!"

Oxymorphone for Pain "I've got scoliosis and disc herniation. I was taking Vicoprofen 7.5/200 four times a day. It worked great. My Dr. refused to write for it anymore and insisted I take Opana ER 10 mg 2X daily. I went from a $15 co-pay to a $180 co-pay. The medicine seems to do OK with the pain...but the constipation!! Also, I feel very sad and somber on it."

For Pain "Worked well for a week, then side effects started. Tightness in chest, depression, suicidal, light-sensitive, dizzy, nausea, had to stop taking it altogether. Took one every 12 hours per instruction. Helped a lot at first, then the side effects were unbearable."
