Smile welcome to the forum

Opana ER is suppose to be released at a slower rate as the name of the pain medication indicates,EXTENDED RELEASE. It was placed back on the market 2-3 yrs back, without the euphoric affect, while still addressing pain relief.

Your preference to Oxycontin and Percocet are not extended release meds, so you would feel the effect/affect quicker. However, you would also be needing higher mgs. dosesage of the drugs to achieve the same results compared to your initial use of the medications.

The ER meds are suppose to assist in keeping break thru pain at a minimum.

Medications have different effects on individuals. The focus on pain relief is the goal. What may work for one, may not work for another.

I have found relief with Opana ER.

Welcome to the forum,
