Bravo and well said! A great analogy too! Our bodies physically become addicted and the fact that she only took so much with her tells me she takes it legit. Otherwise, she would have all of it where no true addict will leave meds behind!

Re: Riley (# 2)

All good practices. I was about to say if you’re on it for chronic pain why would you have it stolen from your home when you were on vacation without it. But now I understand a little better. Also always report that stuff to the police. It’s so much easier to get a replacement prescription or get it refilled early if there is a police report on file. I take buorenorphine for chronic pain and to keep me honest!!! I get tested. My dosage hasn’t changed. Ceiling effect. So I can’t abuse it. I have a lock box. I take what I need on vacation and plan I’m advance. I will have a doctor write 2/14 day supplies or a 2 week supply so I don’t run out while out of state. It’s a medication not every pharmacy carries. And every state is different. Also I don’t want to return from vacation and I have to have my appointment the next day. We take two vacations a year and I plan ahead so that I get my refill about a week before I go. This way I have medication to take with me and medication when I get back and medication in case something happens. And this way I can come back from vacation without worrying about having to go to an appointment the next day. What you did was smart. And kudos to you for avoiding taking the Percocet. That is a slippery slope.

I had an open or compound fracture 2 years ago of my Ulna and radius. An open distal radius and ulna fracture. They call it a wrist fracture but there are no bones in the wrist. You have a arm bones and you have hand bones. But somehow it has this name. But the pain was surreal. I also had a concussion from the fall and I have amnesia between the three days that I broke it and when I woke up from the nerve block after surgery screaming in pain in my bed. I remember nothing of it. They had put me on Percocet for the fracture and then hydrocodone for post surgery. And my buprenorphine doctor told them that I would need a higher dose because otherwise it would not kick into my system. Because buorenorphine is anti agonist. They didn’t listen. They gave me 12 hydrocodone to take post surgery. The lowest dosage of 5 mg and they told me to take two every four hours. That’s maybe a days worth. And they said start taking it before the nerve block wears off well sure enough by that point you have no medication left. The nerve block lasted about 14 hours.

But I try to always listen to my doctor. Or doctors. I ended up not asking for more medication and I went back on the subutex. But I have had it stolen months. And I filed a police report. I only had about a three day supply stolen because that’s all I carry with me. But those three days are enough to screw you up really bad. Especially if you take a certain dosage per day. But the presence of the police report allowed for me to get the prescription filled early. You have to file a police report if there is a theft. Just saying. It makes things a lot less difficult When a distant family member or someone you know steals from you.

They waited till we were out on the kayaks and then raided our locked camp.

But some people will do anything. But it sounds like you did everything right. So congratulations. I’m hoping that the methadone is working for you. They tried putting me on Suboxone but I have a seizure disorder. So my only options were methadone or buprenorphine. I chose the latter because I am an addict. And I’m careful and I’m good. I tell doctors the truth. I haven’t tested dirty in almost 15 years. I had one screwup at the very very beginning. I don’t miss my appointments and I don’t miss my tests. Maybe I’m too honest. I don’t know. But once you Lose that trust and you get it back. You do everything you can to keep it. Good luck to you. I wish you all the best. And I’m so glad that someone on this website did the right thing. I also take clonazepam for my seizures. But it is one of the few medications that works. And I have been on the same dosage for 10 years without a dose change. Although I did find out the blue ones don’t work. They don’t even show up in my labs. They don’t show up in my cheek swab, they don’t show up in my urine. But the yellow ones are green ones do. So the best of luck to you and I’m glad you did the right thing. Be proud of yourself.

Re: Stop with the BS (# 17)

Not everyone who takes methadone is an addict. I know for a FACT that I was living in Tennessee and I have numerous health issues (ALL legit and I had X-rays MRI CAT SCANS NERVE CONDUCTION TEST ULTRA SOUND and any and every other test one can imagine), I was on almost every narcotic from Vicodin to Hydromorphone also while on practically every narcotic I also was on Methadone and I have never sold, not had any of my medication taken away, I have never been branded as a junkie or drug addict and ALL of my medication came from a SPECIALIST. So please get your facts straight before you go and call someone a liar and or a drug addict. I have medical records and print outs for everything I have been THROUGH (not throw) and prescribed. I thought that this forum was to HELP people NOT brand someone else as a drug addict liar. God bless any and every single one of you who ARE truly chronic pain patients.

You should not speak on things that you obviously know nothing about! Methadone is used & prescribed by pain management for pain, it is NOT just used for Addiction!! Ignorance is not always bliss... ??
