Oxymorphone was Numorphan only available in Injections before but now there is a Continuous Oxymorphone I found it better than Oxycontin(Percodan ,OxyContin etc etc)and if anyone is interested I will put out some links but for some this may be a huge help ,I know some people are afraid of becoming Addicts ,I have always had an "Opiate Contract" with my Doctors ,if you are Dependent you just take the Meds at the Prescribed rate ,addictive personalities take their meds too quickly and go to the Doctor early or suffer . If you can take your Meds as Prescribed (exacctly ) I have found they help and my Dosage is high enough I dont ask or need higher doses .
Each of us is different and what works for me may not work for you and vice versa ,I hope you all are getting the most releif you can ,with whatever method you choose

is that the continuous release one? I was on that for about 18 months but we had to give up with it because of the increasing dose's doing very little. I am now taking ketamine which I have found better than MST/ Oxy.. and I personally get far less side effects from it.

Love

Hi there, I'd like to recommend that anyone who is concerned about becoming "addicted" to their pain medication, go to this link.

Hi I have had RSD or Causalgia and CRPS Type 1 and 2 since 1968 ,since I was just a kid I followed my Prescriptions exactly I still do so I am Medication Dependent ,an addict can't control their medication and often Self Mediicate i.e Alcohol ,Crank etc ,
For me Avinza Morphine is the best I take a large dose and it doesnt last 24 hours so I take it 3 times a day .
I was in a study a couple years back on the OXYMORPHONE ER it helped but wasnt for me Endo makes it here is more info

Oxymorphone ER is a semi-synthetic mu-opioid agonist that has been formulated as a 12-hour extended-release tablet using Penwest Pharmaceuticals' proprietary time-release technology, TIMERx(R) delivery system. Oxymorphone ER has been studied in a wide range of chronic pain conditions, including low back pain, osteoarthritis pain, post-surgical pain and cancer pain. Oxymorphone ER is currently under review by the FDA. The safety and efficacy of oxymorphone ER have not been established by the FDA.

Oxymorphone IR has been studied in post-surgical pain in doses varying from 5 to 20 mg. Oxymorphone IR is currently under review by the FDA. The safety and efficacy of oxymorphone IR have not been established by the FDA.

Oxymorphone is a Schedule II controlled substance.

Respiratory depression is the chief hazard from all opioid agonists including oxymorphone preparations. Respiratory depression is a particular potential problem in elderly or debilitated patients as well as in those suffering from conditions accompanied by hypoxia or hypercapnia when even moderate therapeutic doses may dangerously decrease pulmonary ventilation. The most common adverse reactions reported by patients treated with oxymorphone ER during clinical trials were nausea, constipation, dizziness, pruritus (itching), vomiting, somnolence, increased sweating, sedation and headache.

I had taken Opana which was Endo's 5 and 10 mg which I'm guessing will be the Breakthrough on the ER
I wish everyone the Best

I took ms contin for about 3 years, and have to say it helped alot. The sweating and constipation were the only mild problems I had with the drug.

I was on 2x30mg 3 times a day, with oxy ir 2x5mg for breakthrough pain.
Never went off my dose. or took more than I needed the whole time. It worked taking at least 50% of the pain away. Why would I mess up a good thing lol.

If I could, I would jump at the chance to go back on it as the pain has increased to pre ms contin lvls. Pain where I begged the doctor to cut off my leg, believe me it is there again!

Hi ,I was just trying to get information out on a fairly new Med the Oxymorphone ,which woul;d be the natural step above Oxyconton but it is whatever the patient deems best ,we all have gotten RSD in different ways ,it affects each of us differently ,I tried the Ketamine but never again ,in my nearly 39 years since my RSD was dx ed ,I have tried just about everything and now I take my Morphine Contin and Morphine IR ,if your state allows Avinza it is the best Morphine I have taken and is on the Tennessee Formu;ary for SSI ,it is made differently but it didnt last 24 hours with me soo I took ot QID,my pain was helped more than ever before but here in Oregon it is too expensive and I am lucky to get the Purdue Frederick Morphine Contin ,IO am glad that since people are diverse so is the way people can be treated for this horrible disease we have ,I wake up in fear of the day each morning but get through the day still ,I wish you al;l well Gentle Hug

I would love some links. Lost 2/3ds of the middle finger of my left hand. It was ripped off and degloved by the side view mirror of a truck. Happened 6 years ago. My RSD is an important part of my life. Tried everything (7 surgical procedures and all the standard drugs. I rotate my opiods about every 18 months. Thanks in advance. Bruce
