"have been taking 40mg opana 2 x&#039;s/day for about 10 months now for a compressed disc/pinched nerve in my neck, chronic migraines and fibromyalgia. opana saved my life! i was on 8 x 10mg norco daily which was not working. we began opana and i was able to gradually function almost normally again as a busy photographer and mother of 5! however, lately, i have noticed increased breakthrough pain everyday, but am scared to ask my doctor about increasing my dosage for fear he&#039;ll reduce my dosage, and thoughts of me curled up in bed in pain again terrify me! does anyone have any thoughts on this dosage? i know it would help me regain my normal activities that have decreased. i want my life back and opana has truly enabled me to function productively up until now."
