Which Is Stronger Hydroco Apa 10 325 Or Methodone 5mg (Top voted first)

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and a back injury from my service days. Both cause me a great deal of pain. Recently my doctor replaced my Hydroco/APA 10-325mg tab with Methadone 5mg tab. It seems to work better but I must take the methadone 3 x's a day rather than as needed with the Hydroco.

The Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen would likely also have worked better if you took it regularly. While it can be taken as needed, all pain medications such as these actually work better for prevention, rather than stopping pain once it has set in.

Why did he switch your medication?

My back injury was 40 years ago and no treatment has been effective yet. I have no desire for surgery so vaious shots, nerve burnouts and many pills have been tried. Why the methodone, I don't know but the next step is to try biofeedback and other such things. I don't think he likes to give opiates for long term pain relief.

Methadone stronger than the Vicodin yes!
Please be careful , it has a much longer half life as well-
2.5 Mgs of methadone is equal to 10 Mgs of Vicodin
