Avinza Vs Methadone
(Newest replies first)

Updated

Do u know which med will likely give me more pain control and consistent relief: 10mg of methadone or 60 mg of avinza? I am currently taking methadone with very little relief and I was looking throughput my medical records and realized that approximately nine years ago I was taking avinza. I don't recall whether or not I had better pain control back then as compared to now because it's been so many years and my condition has worsened drastically in the past year. I wondering if anyone has any more information for me that could help me. compare the two medications. I'm not sure if I want to switch from methadone to avinza or ask to increase the methadone. Thank u.

I have been on avinza for three years and it works very well to control pain , but it drains your bank account very rapidly. I have been on 360 mg per day or over $1700 per month for three years, but can no longer afford this. What natural remidies do you know that may help.

Hi Laura,

Since your reaction to medication will be completely different than someone else's, no one can really tell you for certain which pain med would be more effective for you. Nonetheless, from what I've read Avinza is basically an extended release version of Morphine so there's a chance that it could be more effective than Methadone, but you wouldn't really know for sure until you tried it again. If you have previously used Avinza, I imagine you must have gotten some sort of relief from it and since the Methadone isn't working great for you, it might not hurt to give it another shot.

Also, I do know of some natural remedies for pain if you'd like me to post some information about that. Just post back and let me know! I hope this helps in some way.
