The last I heard they had to take it off again because of more OD incidents....I could be wrong though.

Default simiilar to..

Isn't this very similar to Oxcycontin? (another time released pain med)
I'd think would carry the same type risk as OC does.

i switched from methadone to opana er due to back problems. opana is good, but expensive. my insurance will only pay for 2 tabs daily. my doctor has me on 5 15 mg. tabs per day and for a 2 weeks supply (70 tabs) it was $90. i have a $45 limit that i have to pay on prescriptions, but the pharmacist had to put it in as 1 month instead of 2 weeks, so they charged me 2 co-pays (2 x $45). he said in 2 weeks, they will probably reject paying for anymore, so i will probably have to pay the entire charge.
