I am currently taking 4mg's of Hydromorphone 4 x's a day. I have recently tried a new Pain Drug
called Opana ER which is 20 mg's once a day. It seems after about 8 hrs after taking the Opana I start to feel
withdrawl symptoms. Feels like I am coming down w/ the Flu. As soon as I take my next scheduled dose
the next day I feel better.
I have called my Doctor to let them know, and asked for an increase to 2 Opana 20mg pills instead of just
the one dose.
I use the 4mg Hydromorphone for break thru pain which happens almost everyday.
Anyone with any experience with issues like this? Or any Advice on how to better manage my situation
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Hakensak
