I have been taking 30 mg of Oxycodone with 60 mg Kadian a day for the past two years. I have learned that if I take most of the 30 mgs oxys early in the day and go the rest of the day, night and until 10 or 11 a.m. that my tolerance springs back like when first taking them and I get the most benefit from the pain limiting / mind altering effects. Does anyone know what I mean? (

) Since I am suffering at night (I do sleep but my husband tells me I am crying/ moaning in my sleep most likely because I'm not getting enough pain killer late at night) I guess I feel I'm trading my pain level for that "feeling" of first morning feeling of euphoria. I told my doctor about the moaning at night and he suggested I replace 30 mg Kadian (twice a day) with 40 mg Opana (twice a day). He said a lot of people have had good success with Opana. I tried this for 5 days and I didn't notice any difference in pain control and when I went back to Kadian I had a terrible withdrawal. Do you think that was from the Opana or was I withdrawing from Kadian? I was told I wouldn't get withdrawal by switching.
The main reason I went back to Kadian is I only had a 30 day supply of Opana and that wasn't enough to last until my next appt as I had to switch pain clinics as mine closed it's doors last month and left me in the lurch. I have an appt on 2/2 and I had enough Kadian which is ther reason I went back to it. Do you think if I stuck out the Opana longer it might work better for me? Any suggestions, help. Also, one last question, last year I gained 15 lbs and had some leftover Adderal (35 mg) from an old prescription - anyway, I've been taking one every couple of days to help me lose those unwanted lbs (sorry, and I know I shouldn't do this). I have lost 10 lbs so am ecstatic but I am almost out of Adderal and I'm sure no doctor will give me more with the opiates I'm taking. Can anyone tell me if it's dangerous to take 40 mgs Adderall with Opana & Oxys? Or Kadian & oxys? The warning on the Opana scares the hell out of me. Thanks.
