Take care

Hi Debby,

Thanks for that. We have the same but just with different names.
Do you get relief from opiates in the form of Morphine?
If you do then they are both probably well worth a try. It will give you coverage over the entire day instead of having to put up with the peaks and troughs of some other opiates.
Wishing you luck

Hi Debbie, I am on the time released morphine capsules. It is called Kadian and I take 2 30 mg. capsules twice a day. Some days it works real, real well.. other times when I am in a huge flair, it doesn't work as good. Wishing you the best. Love, Desi

i TAKE AVINZA 30MG EVERY DAY. I USED TO BE TAKING THE 120MG AND HAVE WORKED MY WAY DOWN TO THE 30 MG IN LESS THAN 2 MONTHS. I THINK IT WORKS WELL WHEN IT IS BUILT UP IN YOUR SYSTEM, HOWEVER BE CAREFUL ABOUT THE WITHDRAWALS FROM NOT TAKING IT AT THE SAME TIME. I HAVE NOTICED IF I MISS IT AND DONT TAKE IT WITHIN A FEW HOURS I GET REALLY WOOZY AND FEEL HORRIBLE UNTIL I TAKE IT AND WAIT 30MINUTES TO AN HOUR. HOPE THIS HELPS.:hug:

I am curently taking a rather high does of the opana and it seems to work well on some days and while in a flair i guess you all know nothing works! The opana is harder then heck to find... took me 8 pharmcys.... Sorry i just started the med so i can give you more info in the futrue!

i take avinza and it works really well for me, and even better as some oe else mentioned i am not having to much trouble reducing my dosage. i am still able to get out of be, drive, do things, make food and eat. it hurts at the end of the day but by then it is time for my nught time dose.
sorry i dont know anything about the other me
p.s. just check to make sure your ins will cover the avinza it is 300 or more a month

Thanks for the info- Both drugs would cost me $60 a month- So I think I will try the avinza

Thanks again!

Debbie
