I have never heard of opana....which is a good thing for me.  I am glad you are off it now.  You really seemed determined & like you are finished with it.  I think you are going to get through this just fine.  Keep posting:)

hey Ballgame...yes Opana is IMO the highest of the opiates...wish I had not gotten involved...I took it as prescribed and for a while (about 8 months) it seemed like a godsend...then it turned on me...anxiety, depression, the full treatment...lesson learned

Is opana as dangerous as I keep hearing about? I've heard it's strong but if you drink its super dangerous. Just curious since it's newer

Congrats on day 5! One day at a time

Eating fruits and just going through it helped me. I get alot of nausea from detoxing. DD coffee helped some and just learning from the pain you feel now to never go back to where you were before. That is a hell I would rather avoid, for real.

Hi, we are here for you. I'm on day 7. We can do this one day at a time. Staying off the drugs and living life on Life's terms is the hard part but it has to get better. That's what everyone says. I know I can't do this alone. Keep posting, try and force yourself to exercise:)
Your doing great!
