Unfortunately, Kadian didn't work on my pain at the time. We went through quite a few "non-workers" in that second year...and ended up rather fast on oxy contin. Then I was on that for three years, same doseage, and body just got sick of it. Sometimes I'd have rashes, and have to take Benadryl, while waiting for a new med change. The Methadone just doesn't give enough pain relief though. So I've got to find something.

For Cyn, can you lower your doseage at all so that you are not so sleepy? Like take a lesser dose, but three times a day, so that the pain relief is more level in your blood, not such a high load to make you sleep? Seems like it is a doseage issue to me, hearing it from the outside.

Has anyone used Opana after oxy, fentanyl or methadone, and willing to talk about a comparison?
