Doctors Who Prescribe Methadone (Page 22)

I am addicted to strong pain meds and I am tired of having to come off of them, the withdrawal is awful. I went to a urgent care doc and was prescribed suboxone. I take anxiety meds too but he wants me to stop. I really need the anxiety meds but he wants me off them. How do I get him to change it from suboxone to methadone so I can take my anxiety meds?

That’s good to hear because after years of taking it gets into your bones and is probably one of the worst withdrawals anybody could ever go through. Just be careful and you are okay now. Glad you didn’t suffer a long time because sometimes it takes months depending on your dose of methadone before you start feeling better and it takes two years for you to start sleeping like you were since it was only short term taking it. 160 mg is a pretty high dose for methadone at a clinic. I think your body was telling you something when you weren’t feeling good from taking it. I get scared to death sometimes and I’ve been going to a pain management doctor for over 10 years now, and I was only getting Methadone at first, and then he put me on high a high dose of oxycodone because of a really bad car accident I was in, but I never asked for it and now I regret ever taking one oxycodone. You know how doctors are. They're the biggest drug dealers out there and a lot of them are on at their practice making people suffer who need medication no matter what the medication is! Glad you’re feeling better. God Bless and best of luck!
