Sorry Debbie,

Those two are not known by that name here in OZ-- Do you know what they are?
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.

I have been on Opana er for a while now. my doctor just took me off of it because I was experiencing stiffness in my body when I sat or lay down too long. I would get up from bed to go to the bathroom and I was so stiff I was unsteady and had to force myself to move. he now has me starting tomorrow on Avinza..I am tired alot of the time I have breakthrough pain and mild headaches .. anyone here on Avinza?

I was on it for 6 weeks or so...it made me so sleepy / drugged.. only 30 mg per day...I took myself off of it. Have had withdrawl for two weeks.. very sick for at least 10 days. SO... caution. It DID work really well for the foot involved..almost made it painless..night was the only time I had breakthrough, but couldn't function, being that drugged feeling. Back on oxycodone now... 15 20 mg a day.. but sure is hard to manage...and takes 30 min to kick in. I have tried at least 6 or 8 diff. drugs. All had side effects that were not acceptable. WISH I could find a SAFE.. pain killer that only worked on the foot and not the whole bod.... let me know if you have any like that ...LOL.
