Hello I am going through an Opana withdrawl last dose was Friday night. I have loose stools and trouble sleeping . what else should I expect? How long will this last? I have been on Opana 10 mg ir 5 x daily and 20 mg xr 2x daily for two years and forgot my pills at a hotel in Florida. I can not get my next script for another 9 days. Thank you.

Dear patient,
Opana contains opioid agonist and what you are going through are opioid withdrawal symptoms. You are likely to experience severe bodyache, frequent yawning, goosebumps, diarrhea, watering from eyes and nose and a high blood pressure. This process is most likely to go on for 10 days, but bodyache to continue for upto 3-4 months. Hence, it is advisable to meet a deaddiction specialist to take care of these symptoms with appropriate drugs, as specially, the high blood pressure needs care. For diarrheoa you may take loperamide and NSAIDS for pain, but under physician supervision.
