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 | 5 | pain management | Drowsiness, sweat easily | When I first started taking this stuff it really was uncomfortable. There were no nasty side effects other than feeling like I was in the fog. The best part however is that I have not had to increase my dosage and in fact am way down, only 10mg twice daily. In addition to that my pain is controlled quite nicely. It no longer makes me tired it has never made me loopy like most narcotics. All in all this stuff is much cheaper and way more reliable than the usual narcotic analgesics. I have tried, vicodin all stregths, oxycodone, morphine, dilauded and on and on. All of which worked OK but made me loopy and needed more rather quicly, like weeks. Anyone with chronic pain should at least consider this if you are to be on anything long term. The only real big pitfall is it is very addictive physically and getting off it is much more difficult than other opiate based narcotics. For me it has been a real blessing. | M | 50 | 11 years 40 2X day | 5/30/2011 | 5 | Heroin Addiction | Weight Gain, sweating more frequently, | Without methadone, I dont know where I would be today. Yes, there are side affects but I would take some extra weight and sweating a bit more the usual anyday over withdrawal symptoms, being a drug addict, ect. Methadone has played a HUGE part in me getting my life back together, the MAIN reason it helped me was becuase in my drug addiction it wasnt so much about chasing the high anymore, but to feel OKAY and not be "bogue", which i would NEVER put myself through again! So when I started methadone, i was no longer putting my life in danger, had risk of getting diseases, or dying from a overdose, on heroin i couldnt fuction normally, now i can everything any normal person does.such as have my own place, car, moneyy, pay my bills, have food to eat..on herion i lived in a hotel, took the bus and was broke and severely depressed. Methadone if taking seriously, meaning your truely want to fix your life and get off drugs, can help you tremendously,and it everyone is different, but if you find yourslef there more then a year or two, you need to ask yourslef some serious questions.. | F | 23 | 1 years 75 MG 1X day | 2/16/2011 | 5 | opiate addiction | Excessive sweating, sedation, cloudy thinking, decreased motivation, less anxiety | F | 45 | 6 years 174mg 1X day | 2/13/2011 | 5 | opiate and xanax addiction | some constipation and some upper gastro intestinal issues from craving sweets and thats it. | I was up to 400 mg of oxycodone and 4 or 5 xanax bars per day. I was able to stop using the oxy's right away and the xanax the 3rd day. For me the key is the feeling of wellness and energy that i get from the methadone. I know that i can make it thru the day. I have been a drug abuser for over 30 yrs and have tried every treatment program there is. Methadone is by far the best one for me. I am so glad that i found the clinic that i go to. I need the professional and structured and caring assistance they give. | M | 59 | 90 days 45 MG 1X day | 10/8/2010 | 5 | opiate addiction | On it almost six years | F | 44 | 5.5 days 190 1X day | 9/12/2010 | 5 | six large blood clots to lungs | sweet tooth,six drive in the tank,can not be in the heat,sleeping not enought or too much and trouble with thoughts. | Great for the pain but not for the life. After starting this med I find myself in a daz and can not do all the things I like to do. The pain from 6 clots in the lungs is great because the scaring has damaged my lungs that can not be repaired. I tried other meds but with little help for the pain. | M | 48 | 6 months 20mg 3X day | 5/23/2010 | 5 | pain pill addiction and pain manage | sweating, sweet tooth, tiredness at first. My dose is high because of a high metabolism. | It saved my life. | F | 35 | 9 months 245 mg 1X day | 3/4/2010 | 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 | 5 | Chronic Pain and Heroin Addiction | Extreme sweating is the worst, and most annoying side effect. Constipation, and in the beginning of treatment extreme drowsiness. | While I began using opiates as a needed prescription for chronic pain due to a back injury and from effects of having Lupus, I quickly began abusing the drugs for the euphoric effects and for rectreational use. What started as a 10-15mg of Hydro a day habit quickly escalated to approximatly 400mg of Oxycodone, 150mg of Morphine, and as much heroin as I could get my hands on in any given day. At the end I couldn't even feel the euphoric effects anymore, I had to take the drugs just to keep myself out of withdrawl and so I could function and get out of bed. Methadone has SAVED my life. I could care less if some people think it's trading one addiction for another. Since I no longer have to spend my entire day focused on how and when I'm going to get my drugs, I don't have to do anything illegal, I don't have to lie, I'd say I'm a success, and I am so greatful to have my life back. | F | 34 | 2 years | 4/22/2009 | 5 | CHRON'S/CHRONIC PANCREATITIS | A LITTLE SLEEPY IN THE BEGINNING. | A WONDER DRUG.I TRIED EVERYTHING THERE WAS FOR YEARS AND I WAS ALWAYS IN PAIN.THE NARCOTICS MADE EVERYTHING WORSE AND MY LIFE WAS A LIVING HELL!AFTER 2 BACK SURGERIES,2 BOWEL RE-SECTIONS(FOR CHRON'S) AND A WHIPPLE PROCEDURE FOR CHRONIC PANCREAITIS I WAS PUT ON METHADONE FOR THE CHRONIC PAIN.I STARTED OFF AT A LOW DOSE 10mg TWICE A DAY AND I WAS TIRATED UP TO WHERE I AM NOW 50mg 3 X DAY.I STILL HAVE SOME BAD DAYS AND ON OCCASSION I AM ADMITTED TO HOSPITAL BUT OVERALL METHADONE KEEPS MY PAIN MANAGEABLE.I WISH THE DR'S WOULD HAVE GIVEN THIS TO ME YEARS AGO.IT WORKS BETTER THAN ANY OTHER PAIN MED(IE.PERCOCET.DILAUDID,MORPHINE,FENTANYL.....)ALL THOSE OTHER NARCOTICS ARE TERRIBLE!ALL THEY DO IS SCREW UP YOUR LIFE AND YOUR BODY FROM THE INSIDE OUT!METHADONE HAS NO SIDE EFFECT FOR ME.IT JUST MANAGES MY PAIN. I RECCOMEND IT AND IF USED PROPERLY AND NOT ABUSED YOU CAN GET YOUR LIFE BACK WITH A LOT LESS PAIN!GOOD LUCK! | M | 39 | 3 years | 3/28/2009 |
