methadone for Opiate Withdrawal: I am a mother of 3 great kids and I was throwing my life away by being addicted to any pain pill I could get my hands on. Primary Oxy.

methadone for Opiate Withdrawal: My husband and I had a severe OC habit.. He has chronic pain and the doctor would literally throw painkillers at him 150 OC's a month. I took them as sad as it sounds to get high. I thought "Wow something that takes away my depression and keeps me going at work, I could work a twelve hour day at the office, go to the gym and have dinner on the table. Then everything spiraled out of control. We almost lost our home to foreclosure as we were spending 500 a day on our habit. We even had to sell one of cars to keep our home. We have been on Methadone for 5 months and it has given us our lives back. I would recomend to anyone with chronic pain as my husbands is now managed successfully for the first time in 10 years.

methadone for Pain: I have suffered from back pain for nearly 20 years and had numerous surgeries and just about every procedure out there. I was on 240 mg of Oxycontin with up to 6 Percocet at a time for break through pain. When I was prescribed methadone I was leary but it has changed my life. I was prescribed 10mg 3 times a day. I've never even taken a full dose yet and its been over 2 years. I went right from my old doses to 1 mg a day with roxicodone for breakthrough. Pain management has been great.

methadone for Pain: I was on oxycontin 40mg 2x a day but had to increase its strength as time passed. Then the doctor put me on Methadone 10mg 4 x a day. This been effective without any increase in dosage over the last year. I am now trying an additional drug with it called Lyrica 150mg 2 x a day. Now almost pain free, only break through pain occasionally. Before, life was not really anything to look forward too, just pain, pain and more pain. I couldn't even sleep. Not so now with Methadone.

I've cut my dose by a third and feel fine so far - will stay where I'm at for a couple of months, then begin titrating down again at a very slow rate. Methadone has been instrumental in my recovery.

methadone for Pain: Methadone tablets helped me live a normal life, free from the pain that severe arthritis in my left hip and back was causing me. However, my doctor was busted by the DEA for over-prescribing and as a result I had to turn myself over to a clinic. I hate going to the clinic, after 6 months I finally have 1 "take home" weekly granted. It's located 11 miles from my home and having to drive there almost everyday really gets on my nerves. This clinic does not treat people for pain, only addiction.

methadone for Opiate Withdrawal: I love using methadone. It has helped me to stop hanging around looking to score, so I can say it has helped me get my life back to some degree. Now and again I seem to get the odd hot flush like a menapausal woman but I suppose it is much better than writhing around in a soggy bed for two weeks with the buckets by my side, one for toilet, the other for bile. Methadone really helps. If you are taking less than 40mg, you should cut down 10mg and go onto Subutex, which is even better.
