pain
"I have found Opana ER to be a lifesaver for me in that though the pain is not gone, but at least it is tolerable.  What works for me presently is a 30 mg. dose 3x day along with Neurontin.  Taking the Opana 3x day takes care of it possibly wearing off earlier than it should by giving me the medicinal coverage and avoiding the need for breakthrough medications.  I intially was taking 40 mg. 2x day with the Neurontin and between my doctor, pharmacist and me, this protocol works much better and Medicare will cover it.  It was a long, difficult journey to get to this point of reasonable comfort which is governed by activity levels and the weather.  I do not cry so much any more from the pain levels I have from a myriad of medical disabilities."
