| 5 | Denegerative disc disease. | Best pain management medicine for chronic pain. | M | 47 | 6 weeks 10 3X day | 6/14/2015 | 5 | Pancreatitis/Whipple/total Pancreae | Present: Sweating, sweet tooth, flushing Past: liver enzyme elevation, NODDING, severe weight gain, dental issues, poor hygiene, memory loss, hallucinations, cravings: sweets and nicotine | I have had ALL experience with Methadone. I was born with a genetic complication with my Pancreas called Divisum that is very rare. It can be exacerbated by food, alcohol, infection and drugs. Being rare it was a difficult road and took years before accurate diagnosis. I went through pure hell with abdominal pain thought to be "gas" in my teens to accusations of alcohol induced pancreatitis in my 20s until a surgeon recognized it. I had a car accident that led to opiate addiction which caused severe pancreatitis that became chronic. At that time in 06-07, I went on Methadone(90mg) for 9 months. At that time, I had every single horrific side effect and I couldn't work due to nodding out. I was over medicated but in severe pain. The drug covered underlying infection and I couldn't wean because I was in so much pain! I didn't understand until I ended up in the hospital for 3 MONTHS. As it went back into remission, I detoxed and was able to be clean for 4 years. In 2013, I was on track, eating clean and in the best shape of my life!! Well, pancreatitis came back out of nowhere. Not kidding! And it was wicked, extraordinarily sick with liver enzymes in the 1000s(normal 20-65); vomiting nonstop until I ruptured a stomach vessel. I was once again on high end opiates and then my dr wanted me to do Methadone again for pain. Reluctantly, I agreed and for 3 months again found myself in ZOMBIEville with dose at 40mg through day with oxy for breakthrough. I was mean and miser | F | 38 | 6 months 40 mg | 6/5/2015 | 5 | Disc Degenerative disease | Weight gain. Constipation. | Best medicine for chronic pain treatment. No other medicine came close to Methadone for pain relief. | M | 46 | 18 months 10mg 3X day | 4/13/2015 | 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 | 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 addiction, 2 back surgeries | Constipation, sweating, intense sweet cravings, weight gain ( 10lbs) but I ordered Vitadone and all of the side effects are GONE !!!! | methadone is my miracle drug. I can live a normal life with my family :). I have very little break through pain, nothing an ibuprofen can't take care of. I plan to be on this medicine the rest of my life. I had 2 back surgeries with the 2nd one being a bi-level spinal fusion and it messed me up :( my dr said I have what is called failed back surgery. I also have nerve damage on my right side, osteoporosis , and arthritis . So yes methadone takes care of that for me to live a normal life, I have a very active 2yr old that I am able to play with and a 14yr old daughter that is happy to see her momma awake cause the other meds are my devil. Sorry for a little of my life story, lol, but thank you for reading it. Do not let the people who stereo type methadone as only something for junkies because it's NOT true . I NEVER intended to get addicted to the hydrocodones, but years of taking them and anybody and everybody will be addicted to them. | F | 36 | 9 months 80mg | 11/14/2014 | 5 | back l as in | It works gave me a normal life howeer my dr would like me to liwer it they get on her for prescribing it. I never have enough and go thr wuthdrawl 1 week a month its hell. But i need it for the other 3weeks IT KILLS THE PAIN | F | 54 | 7 years 80mg day | 9/11/2014 | 5 | Lower back and leg(s)pain. | Constipation and a bit of sleepiness. | I used to take Vicodin in the summer of 2006 after my back surgery, went through physical therapy, the pain was almost gone, but it was bearable. Fast forward to 2012 and the pain returned to my lower back and legs. My usual doctor prescribed hydrocodone that did not work; and refused to give something stronger. My partner was on oxycodone and soma; and he gave me one to take for the pain; and it helped. I've found a new pain management doctor, but he only prescribed me the oxycodone and soma only once because he was afraid of the DEA; and wanted to force me to take shots in my back and I have a big phobia of needles! The shots hurt like hell and they didn't work at all! After trying to find a pain management place that show compassion, I've found one that really listened to me. My doctor sent me to get an MRI and it shown the problem. Even though he'd like me to consider surgery and injections, he put me on methadone at 5 mg which helped a little. The next month he upped the mg to 10 mg @ 4 times at day. Let me tell you...it really works!! The pain diminished, I can go on walks without pain, able to do some household chores (not as fast as I'd like but am grateful), do food shopping, and even can make love with my partner without screaming from back pain. The only downside is constipation, but I use stool softners and gentle laxatives to take care of that; and a bit of sleepiness, but I can handle that. I am so glad my pain management doctor has me on methadone for long term | M | 48 | 3 months 10 mg 4X day | 7/13/2014 | 5 | disc in lower back | Before it the medicine reach its peak I yawn a lot til it gets in my body. | F | 45 | 7 years 70 mg | 6/24/2014 | 5 | Pill addiction/back and hip pain | Tiredness, sweating, weight gain (40 lbs). NO SEX DRIVE!!I'm glad I'm off pills but clinic here is $84 per week so if you don't have Medicaid , you pay cash. I'm afraid to get off methadone because of the withdrawal horror stories It helps my pain and keeps cravings away. | F | 31 | 3 years 95 mg | 5/25/2014 | 5 | M | 50 | 10 days 15 mg | 5/16/2014 | 5 | Low Back and Leg Pain | Constipation. | This was by far the best medicine for long term pain management.

I have a fantastic job that requires me to travel some and attend very important meetings and the clinic i attend will not excuse me but 1-2 times and it's just a mess then. I am ready to detox due to this clinics rules, which i understand they do have, but when a person does right they should have a little repect and consideration for them and this clinic doesn't. If i file a greivance on them it just goes to the medical director of the clinic and nothing gets done! Very tired of the ball-n-chain with them and my take-homes!! | F | 36 | 10 years 108mgs 1X day | 7/25/2011 |
