OPANA is indicated for the management of acute pain severe enough to require an opioid analgesic and for which alternative treatments are inadequate.
Limitations Of Use
Because of the risks of addiction, abuse, and misuse with opioids, even at recommended doses [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS], reserve OPANA for use in patients for whom alternative treatment options [e.g., non-opioid analgesics or opioid combination products]
Discontinuation Of OPANA
When a patient who has been taking OPANA regularly and may be physically dependent no longer requires therapy with OPANA, taper the dose gradually, by 25% to 50% every 2 to 4 days, while monitoring carefully for signs and symptoms of withdrawal. If the patient develops these signs or symptoms, raise the dose to the previous level and taper more slowly, either by increasing the interval between decreases, decreasing the amount of change in dose, or both. Do not abruptly discontinue OPANA in a physically-dependent patient [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Drug Abuse and Dependence]

When Should You See a Doctor? – Opana For Sale Online
Some forms of pain are more serious than others. You need to see a doctor emergently if you experience any of the following:
- A stiff neck or severe headache
- Chest pain
- Pain that includes numbness or weakness
- Pain caused by a serious injury
Chronic pain can also be cause to see a doctor, particularly if it deprives you of your sleep, your work, or activities with family or friends.
If your pain doesn’t fall into these categories, you may decide to treat it yourself. If that’s the case, consider your over-the-counter pain relieving options. Drugs like ibuprofen, aspirin, and naproxen are useful for various minor pains. Be careful – do not exceed the recommended doses as too much pain medicine can be toxic or even lethal.
