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."

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 have been on Opana about three weeks now for severe, chronic pain. I used to be on 60 mg of OxyContin, and I took the first dose prior to getting ready to leave for work, after that, I would spend the next 10-20 minutes vomiting. Opana doesn't do that to me in a 20 mg dose, and I find the pain relief much more lasting and comfortable. The only medicine I ever took better than Opana for chronic pain relief was the once-a-day, now-defunct Pallodan."
