Hi, I am a Licensed Board Certified Clinical Psychotherapist, and chronic pain patient. Have done extensive research on The Use of Opioids to Treat Chronic Non-Malignant Pain. I AM PRO OPIOID! With being on a high dose, and methadone detox being worse than heroin detox, he is ethically bound to titrate you in a humane manner. He took an oath, the Hippocratic Oath. He may not be legally responsible but if he did not do the above you could and should file a complaint with your state medical board. It will forever be on gi record and in his file. I will not even get started on how chronic pain patients are being treated subhumanely and all like addicts! When 3-18% of CPP are addicts and the 18% are predisposed to addictive behavior! People are needlessly suffering and some even ending their pain by extinguishing their lives. It is CRIMINAL! All these people want is a quality of life...

who said that she was on it for pain treatment? there are other uses for it, mainly a maintenance program, and if thats what she is on, detoxing real quick just to go on vacation really isnt an option. if it were, most wouldnt be taking methadone

A one month detox from 150mgs of Methadone is possible, however I guarantee you will not feel like taking a vacation. I recently switched from Methadone to Suboxone. I am unsure as to where u live but in the States you are allowed to courtesy dose at another clinic when traveling domestically. Being tethered to methadone became a nightmare for me. You can earn carry home doses but they are easier to earn than they are to keep. I got tired of jumping through hoops. I never felt like a patient.. Just another pawn in the game. I felt terrible all the time. I wanted to sleep. My life was on hold. There are many other options now that allow you to live a normal life free of withdrawal and cravings. I cannot believe I spent 5 years going to a methadone clinic. I had no idea what I signed up for.
The fact alone that your doctor suggested that you detox before your trip that is one month away is enough proof that you receive terrible care. Any methadone prescriber would know that is not possible. Methadone is different from any other opiate. I know people who said 6 mos and I also know ppl who quit methadone years ago and said they still have residual symptoms.. Its is so bad for your body. The nervous system has a VERY hard time returning to its pre methadone/opiod state. I'm sorry for your struggle. I hope you find a way to have full control of your.life again. Methadone was the better option for me at one time but I felt that they made it the most difficult for the few who were seriously trying to get better and take their lives back.

I get a 2 week supply of liquid methadone in a lock box twice a month..it's taken years to get these take homes and monthly clean U/A's but i've traveled out of the country with a 2 month supply before without problem..get a different dr..or go to the local methadone clinic where you can earn your take homes...many drs..even pain specialists are very ignorant regarding this medication..i've been subjected to surgery without anasthesia because so many physicians are so ignorant about it..good luck..God bless..and im a registered nurse..on disability and a cancer survivor. I've weaned down from 185mg to 44mg daily...good luck.

If they are giving you 3 and one half "biscuits" then you are only getting 140 mg., not the 150 mg. you should be getting. Also, the proper name for them is Diskets. It is important for all of us who use methadone to know the proper name for our medication.

Actually, it is quite the opposite. Methadone is a very serious medication and you can be hospitalized with out your daily dosage. Your Dr. HAS to give you a final notice with your last dosage and a pain management or methadone clinic referral before he or she can just drop you from this drug. BTW... like you said if something were to happen?? The only thing that will make in even occur is NOT PRESCRIBING her the methadone.

Can i ask, what country you are residing in, please? Just because, there is 'NO WAY' in a 'million years' - that a doctor in the U.K would prescribe 'methadone' for 'ANY' pain!!! NOT A CHANCE IN HELL!!! I am a woman with a lot of experience, regarding methadone, in having had it prescribed, personally, for years, to stabilize and detox from opiate abuse, and, also, having witnessed my husband a decade later, be in excruciating pain with both hips displaced! - yet, still a UK doctor would 'NEVER', prescribe methadone as a pain killing treatment! Let's get real here - if ur gonna post advice on a forum! If u r prescribed methadone, it's for an addiction to opiates - not 'pain relief'! And if u can't be honest about that, to start with, then don't 'offer', advice! - how r folk meant to believe u then?

Hopes this gives you hope and puts you at peace a bit. Stay safe everyone and try your damn best to rid yourself of this ' affliction'.

No it means they'll give you a take home script to cover your holiday so if you're going for 7 days then you'll be given 7 doses to take with you.
