Opana ER VS Morphine ER

You need to check with your dr or a pharmacist to get the correct info you are seeking. This type of info needs to come from the experts....SUsie

One issue your doctors may have with prescribing more powerful meds is that pretty soon, you are going to be hitting the wall. At such a young age, that's a scary thought. I'm 33 and have a completely different medical history from you (and anyone else, as we are all different) but I've had doctors look me in the eye and flat out tell me that due to my age, they will not rx anything stronger due to the fact that eventually, there won't be anything left for me to take because the meds are only "so" strong. At my age, that's a scary thought for me to ingest. I will always have chronic pain and I've accepted that - sort of. lol If I went to something stronger, stayed on it a few years, built a tolerance for it, went to a stronger med, stayed on it a few years, built a tolerance..... vicious cycle.... I'd end up 40 years old and be maxed out and have nothing more powerful to take. Then I'd have to live the rest of my life at a pain plateau with nothing left to help with my pain.
Excuse my rambling. LOL Just wanted to throw that theory out there.

 

    Hello Luie! ..again I agree with Straydog here on this. As for asking your Dr as to which med you would like to try...while there may be some truth, and more than not on what Jane said...it also depends on your relationship with your Dr. If there is a trust built up over time, and he/she finds that you are a responsible patient with no script abuse problems, and keeping a clean contract...then I thik it's fine. However, the best thing to do is let them know that you are aware of several different med's..and ask them if they have a suggestion as to what might be tried next.

 I myself have an excellant relationship with my Dr, but this did not happen over night, and I still give him the respect that he deserves. I do however bring up med's that we have not tried, and let him suggest. so far this has worked out fine for me.

    My only comment on Kristie's opinion, is that while some of what she says may hold true to a point...I do think once a patient stops taking a med that a tollerance was built up on,...it can be lowered over time, thus allowing a patient to return back to it as another option again in the future. I have seen this done several times, although it may take anywhere from a few months to a few years to do so.

   Good luck!
