While it does help with some of my pain, I CANNOT stay conscious on this stuff and it makes me feel mentally retarded. I can't focus or concentrate my mind and I fade in and out of consciousness for up to 12 hours at a time, all the while having odd hallucinatory "dreams." Despite the fact I seem to sleep constantly on this stuff, I'm still completely exhausted once it wears off so evidently the "sleep" I get while on methadone is not of good quality. I finally started cutting my 10mg pills into EIGHTHS which seems to help reduce the mental side effects, but the painkilling effectiveness is significantly reduced as well, obviously. Often I choose to just endure my pain rather than have this stuff blast my cognitive function. Lastly, I'm very concerned with what I'm reading here about tooth decay. Not cool! Why isn't that on the warning label? | M | 31 | 1.25 1X day | 5/13/2011 | 3 | cancer | dry mouth, constipation,feeling of helplessness | F | 44 | 2 times | 6/15/2002 | 5 | Chronic Pain | Constipation, nightmares | I personally think that it is a great drug because it saved me from the deadly grip that the Oxycontin addiction had on me. It works well for the pain but it is sometimes hard to catch a buzz | M | 20 | 1 days | 2/8/2002 | 5 | 14 years it beats going dr. shoppin | None if I take the same dose everyday it's saved my life and kept me out of prison 15 years now you have to respect it and it works | I don't take anything but methadone and I have a pain free life thank you God | F | 56 | 1 days | 12/16/2014 | 5 | pill habit | Always hot sleep good no sex drive but takes away my cravys | It help me stay clean | F | 39 | 1 days | 1/4/2015 | 4 | opiate addiction | M | 37 | 1 days 47 mg | 11/30/2012 | 3 | laminectomy l4 l5 sciatica&DDD | itchy dizzy | I AM NOT ALONE this is not so much for rating the meds only 1 day on it (meth hcl) and I pray it works I have eaten every other up to the infamous OXY !!! "I AM IN LIFE TAKING PAIN" is the sign we should be wearing. DRs are scared to prescribe anything that will work Rx’s are playing guardian of the crypt and to you who strives to get high I feel for you but you are making it so f'n hard for us who are really in need of these wonder drugs do us a favor and keep it to the streets. I have felt like i was being punished for having an injury this is not how the medical field should be operated and last but not least the insurance company’s (the one that starts with a) how dare you tell me no because the cost is to high we may only make 10 billion this year. My heart goes out to each and every one of you who suffer from chronic pain. I am currently on methadone hcl 10mg hydrocodone 7.5/500mg for breakthrough lyrica for sciatica nerve block Finally a Dr. that is wil | M | 36 | 1 days | 3/17/2006 | 3 | pain chronic | 1 days | 6/5/2015 | 3 | Fibro - Post Chemo Chronic Pain | I just started today with Topamax & Provigil. About 3 hours after my first dose of the Methadone, I started vomiting quite a bit. I decided to wait to add the other meds until I get used to this. On a positive note, I feel pretty good, pain is milder. | Has anybody experienced vomiting from this med & how long did it last? | F | 34 | 1 days | 5/26/2007 | 3 | i took methadone for heroin add. | sweats, extreme sleepiness at 3 hours, nausea, | its all in your mind. i went down 70 mg in 35 days and had almost no side effects. | M | 24 | 1 days | 12/5/2008 | 1 | Rupture disk | immediate nausea, vomitting, sweating, swelling, itching, constipation, confusion, spacey, insomnia | My experience was awful. It took 3 days for the constant vomitting to stop. I couldn't even hold down water. The nausea was persistant. I wanted to rip my skin off, the itch was so bad. I swelled up like a balloon animal. I was dripping in sweat non stop. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't think. And the relatively violent nature of the vomit and swelling, we'd say this goes down in my records as an alergy. It's been 2 weeks, and the constipation is only NOW starting to return to normal. It probably did it's job killing the pain, but I didn't notice as I was far to busy dealing with the side effects. | F | 34 | 1 days | 11/5/2007 | 1 | unknown | DEATH | My friend accidently overdosed on this drug because she drank alcohol. If you drink alcohol I don't advise you to take this medicine... this pill can be very dangerous. I know dumb people that take it for "fun" well... you will die from it. Like all medication if you are not prescribed to it you should not take it! common sense is not so common. | F | 22 | 1 days | 6/19/2009 | 1 | twenty yr habit on methadone | Thinning beard as messes with albunim hormone I think is name mastitis years ago. | They don't prescribe in europe apart from uk and holland nasty drug thats has messed with my heart and bones as high dose and was on three four 50mg amps a day at one point but I gave the needle up as my heart is a lil f...ed . | 1 days 100plus | 11/10/2014 | 5 | Diabetic Neurorapty | Not sure, very tired, no energy,constipated, the medicine took care of the pain in my legs which was aweful. Also take Bencar and Coreg for High blood pressure, Mobic for Arthritis | M | 70 | 2 days | 12/15/2009 | 3 | For drug rehab | Sleeping to much, mood swings, sweaty nights | Methadone will help the person if they dont get carried away. Methadone clinics will let you go as high as you want. I was more addicted to the methadone than i was when i took pain meds off the streat. Detoxing off of it is HELL! I felt like i was on acid. I had the burning cold chills and goose bumps 24/7. I got myself down to 10 ml a day for about two weeks then went cold turkey from there. It has been a month and i am just getting back to normal. Taking methadone three times a day is wrong. Your suposed to take it once in the morning. Methadone is a 48 hour drug so it will carry you throughout the whole day. Takeing t\\it three times a day is a drug habbit. Taking it when you need it is a drug forming habit. If you are on opiates then dont go on methadone if your not ready to quit cause it is a lot stronger than any other pill and is hell to get off, you will feel like your on acid the first week and not sleep much. Dont take xzanex to help out with the anxity casue then you will | M | 27 | 2 days | 6/25/2007 |
