Methadone

Post by aberdeino »

Hi all, my Dr at the pain clinic has recommended I try methadone to help with the severe outbursts of pain. Just wondering how many people here have tried it and if there are any major side effects?

I have been on Methadone for 1 1/2+ years. I take 10 MG 3x's daily. I don't have any side effects. I was on higher doses and have reduced down to this for well over a year. I woud not be concerned.

Sorry it took so long for me to find this, and you.
For the record I am prescribed 50mgs twice a day.
I've recently been weening(and trying not to whine)myself off all of my meds but I get so screwed up. I don't know which one to stop first so I've been selecting the wrong one and paying for it.
Hopefully I'll get it right...soon.
Peace and laughter,
Scott
