Does Opana Cause Any Side Effects On The Body?

Hi, I sure would appreciate an answer to my question, thank you..I have been taking morphine sulf 30 mg. 3x daily for an injury i got, when I was hit by a speeding car, while I was walking across the street, because of this, I have constant back and hip pain. my Dr. prescribed many different medications, had over a dozen injections. I did not like the way the fentynal patch, oxycontin made me feel..like I was a zombie, I am currently being prescribed morphine sulf 30mg 3x daily, I have been taking this medication, for about 3 years, since the accident, it is not as effective as it was, when I was first prescribed it. my Dr. currently would like to change my medication to opana 10mg every 12 hours, then after 1 week, I may take 1 tablet 3x daily. I am a bit nervous about changing medications..and wonder why, after 1 wwek I can take 3 tablets daily. I am nervous, because I do not want the effect, fentanly patches or oxycontin had on me. I would like to know the difference, side effects etc. about opana. thank you I am sorry to have wasted your time, I did not realize I had to pay for an answer, BECAUSE I was hit by a car and have constant pain, my Dr. will not give me a release to go back to work, so unfortunately I will not be able to pay you..thank you, for your interest in my question..and again, I am sorry to have wasted your time.

Hi,
As mentioned you met RTA followed put on patch then morphine n now on Opana . Opana is a oxy derivative of morphine and have similar kind of action n side effects like drug dependency, construction, decrease cough reflex , cns depression ,etc. and precautions to be taken while using cns depressing medication , anti cholinergic , h2anti histaminic drugs.....etc. And precautions if having head injury altered liver enzyme using alcohol respiratory illnesses lik copd etc. for more detail read its drug information sheet which come with drug.
So my advise would be these drugs to be taken only under supervision . If you have any other query contact me . Again It ll not charged by me.

Thanks n regards
