Any opiate will help with withdrawals but opana is schedule II and the prescriptions go bad after a certain date I believe it is thirty days from when written so it is possible you cant even fill your script anyway.

Just as others have said, it depends on the dose of percocet you were taking. I do not know much about opana, but I believe they are extended release oxycodone w/out tylenol (someone please correct me if I am wrong). The most important thing you need to keep in mind through your withdraw period is that any pain meds you take now are only to prevent severe withdraws, and to help you taper.

This means you should not get ANY pain relieving effects or qualities, or the "high" feeling some people get from their meds. Your body is NOT going to like not having the amount it is used to, so you will not be comfortable through this period, but your tapering meds should keep you just one step away from the brink of sickness. You are NOT taking pills anymore when you want, for pain, or any other reason except to taper. This means you need to space whatever meds you have as far apart as possible, only taking them to prevent sickness, therefore only taking them right before feeling sick.

First, as others have suggested, try asking your doc for something not as strong as what you were on, such as Norco, then tell your doc you want to taper down and need his/her help. Work with the doc (if he is willing to help) to make a schedule, and if needed make a contract with the doc of what you will take, and when you will be off. 4-6 weeks is a reasonable period to ask for tapering, if the doc is willing to prescribe enough meds to last that long. If not, you may have to make it in 2 weeks, either way, whatever the doc is willing to do is better than if you went cold turkey in 1-2 weeks.

If the doc won't help, you need to set up a schedule with the opana, where you take a certain amount for 1-2 days, then cut that amount by 1/4 or 1/2 for a couple days, and keep repeating this. Also, you can space your time like this as well. If you take your meds every 4 hours, do that for 1-2 days, then take it only every 6 hours, then go 8 hours, etc. 

Please let me know if you need any help or more suggestions, also let us know if you were able to get your doc's assistance. Good luck, remember just stick to your schedule, and you will do good.
