[susie949]

i've beenon pain med off and on  mostly on since 1994 for spinal diseases  i've been on fentanyl 100mcg every two days for about two years with no break through meds i go around and around with my doctor about this he even says that he knows my pain is severe enough for break through meds but because of a incident about 6 years ago he says he isnt comfortabnle prescrbing it to me BUT if i can afford to go to a pain managment clinic once and got a recommendation for it he would honor that the thing is i didnt have insurance and now i have state medical insurance they only cover 1 initial consultation my ? is, is would this opana(never tryed before) be a good med for me to try for break through pain i have a very high tolorence for pain meds

I'm 18 have fibromyalgia, intractable pain, degenerative deterioration of the spine, bursitis of the right hip. Iv been on opiates since iv been 11 started with 10mg norco (which is vicodin with 325 tylonal) and started taking it 3 times a day and was up to the point where i was taking 12 a day, then i was taking 10mg percs, moved up to 15 mg roxies then they added 30mg oxycontins 3 times a day, then i desided to try and taper myself off pain meds completely at age 15 because it was scary and my tollerance was just to high.at 16 went back on the pain meds because i just couldnt take the pain and tried to start with lower dosed ones like nucynta 100mg, ultram taking 250mg at a time then went back to the 10mg norco  moved back up to the 10mg percs then they added the 30mg oxycontin back it was just a horrible cycle well last october i had a bad flair up and was scared because my doctors didnt really communicate with me they just throw scripts at me well i found a good doctor who put me on 30mg ms-contin 3 times a day with up to 2 15mg MSIR (morphine sulfate instant release) well now Im going on 30mg opana er and keeping the 15mg MSIR for breakthrough im very frightend of this after reading all the posts here but im hopeing for the best because the morphine just doesnt work and i hate the way the Oxycontin makes me feel and the personality changes. I just dont know what to do and i need some advice because i dont want to opt to have surgery at this age... this hole opiate scene just scares me and i understand there is a difference between being physically dependent and being a addict i just dont want to fall down the path of being a addict and abusing medication.
My current med list is
Cymbalta 90mg a day
lyrica 225mg 2x a day
Ms-Contin 30mg 3x a day
MSIR (instant release morphine) 15mg as need for BT
Mobic 15mg once a day
Zanaflex (tizanidine) 4mg 3x a Day
Adderall XR 30mg Once a day
BusPar 7.5mg 2x a day
Trazodone 50mg at bedtime for sleep
Please someone have input

I have taken opana for about 6 month and had break
through meds with it.I  went to the Duragisic Fentanyl patch 100mg every
48 hours with break through meds also.I was not an Opana
fan,for what it's worth.

I believe... from what I have read... and people I have talked to that are on the Opana they use the Opana IR for breakthrough with the Opana ER.  Have you ever tried Oxycodone HCL (immediate release) 15mg, or 30mg tablets for breakthrough pain?  I am on Morphine Sulfate and use the Oxycodone for breakthrough and it works well... until your body adapts to the oxycodone and you require an increase in the dose... that's my only hurdle with it.... good luck....
