Hey Mark,

I started on 20mg of Opana ER for my neck about three weeks ago. 10mg 2x's a day. It has done nothing for my pain. Oxy 5's give me about 45 minutes of some relief.

However, what I did notice immediately after starting the Opana is that I am sleeping much better and that has me in a much better mood even though not out of pain. Its almost as if it has an anti depressant effect on me. (BTW I tried several AD's and none worked) I will be following up soon with my new PM doc and see what he recommends next.

I read and understand the instructions about not eating but I cannot take it without some food. I get severely nauseous when I take it on an empty stomach. I have had pretty bad constipation which none of the other pain meds ever caused me.


Keep us posted on your neck.
