MY HUSBAND HAS BLADDER CANCER AND WAS PRESCRIBED 20 MG OF METHADONE EVERY MORNING. HE WAS ALSO GIVEN MORPHIN SULFATE 60 MGS TWICE A DAY. HOW SHOULD THESE MEDICINES BE TAKEN?

I'm sorry but I just had to comment...I really believe that the over-dosing is caused from people taking a mixture of things that they shouldn't...I'm not saying that an accident couldn't occur of course, but if people really want to be truthful there is a real problem with people abusing pills, drinking, and I would love to know if when they "misuse it" if they're doing it for pain or B/C they are trying to achieve a "high"? I've never abused a pill in my life and don't intend to start but I know people that do, and some are close to me.... Can this cause brain cancer?? I haven't gotten answers anywhere else. Also, they had me on morphine & methadone for a long time & it really helped!! But then they took me off morphine & said "methadone isn't for breakthrough pain!" Said that "I slipped through the cracks." Said that they would keep me on morphine if I wanted to go off methadone. I said No! Methadone seems to be the only thing helps my pain...I was on 120 10s a MT. for 9 years, and now I'm on 90. They replaced the morphine with percs....I live in severe pain. Have a list a mile long of back problems, neck,arthritis,etc.I'm so angry B/C my quality of life has went so far down. I thought that people had the human right NOT to live in pain!! But evidently not. The last trip she said that she would up my methadone back to 120 but would take me off the percs!!

Pollock that's very nice of you, perhaps you can let people know what you would like to talk about. It might be easier for people to respond to you. I myself have posted quite a bit on here regarding my experience with methadone and detoxing off it. Good luck

Pollock here again, I may not of made myself clear before and im very sorry for that but what I meant was my dr left me after having me on 120 mg oxycodone a day. I have very bad knees. ive had the meniscus taken out of both knees and I feel like im walking on concrete. I'm looking for a dr in the Bristol pa Bensalem pa area to take over where my dr left off. Any help would be appreciated. I'm lost and have no clue where to go.

I personally haven't met one person that back surgery helped! Why did they say that the Dr., had to take you off methadone before a surgery?? Just curious!!

Very well educated! Thank you! I take around 60mgs of methadone for a severe progressive Degenerative Disc Disease and hip displasia, on top of that I take 120mgs of oxycodone a day and most people are ignorant to the purpose of methadone in the first place. So I wanna thank you for you very well informed answer!

Im on 40 mgs if methadones but havent taken in 4 days i get oxys 15 with it but im trying something to get off methadone cuz it causes organ fauile sooner or later..i lost my friend 5 months ago was 36 left 2 autistic sons and a wife..i miss his alot he was taking this combo.i went to pain clinic cuz my doc was giving me dones and oxys for 3 years and after the deaths in vegas he passed us to pain clinic and they said straight out they dont perscribe methadone and wont see us if we take 100mgs of it or oxy 30s and give shots in back plus a controlled release and a quik release because abuse will happen with just quik release and i can say with 100 percent thats right cuz on methadone i never abused my meds.i never took 40mgs just the first 6 months then its like chalk u can take 2 a day and u cant tell the difference my spine felt weird first 2 days but im ok now.im lucky things are working out just be careful and try to stay under 30 to 40 mgs or less at pain clinic they said alot of people who come off that much can ween down with very little discomfort.good luck out there

Also, I havent gotten a buzz off oxys in 2 years, not that i want to anymore just saying at 30mgs of methadone i couldnt get that same feeling anymore which is fine. I'm not trying to feel high off of methadone and oxys..but a xanax does increase the effect, but u will have the worse withdrawals even taking opiates if u mix methadone and xanax so please stay away from that mixture,

I live in las vegas and was going to a regular doctor for 6 years was prescribed for lortabs to oxy 30s and when i got tired of going thru them too quick i went on methadone he gave me the 10mg pills and he prescribed my friend methadone when she was taking 1mg of xanax but she rarely took those but i would take a quarter piece a day for 5 months and took methadone..ive been off them for 3 months but it was hell even tho i had my oxys and methadone was sick in the mind and stomach. I couldnt s*** for days so dont ever try to mix those two for a long time. ive only taken 30 mgs of methadone in 1 week 3 pills and gonna only take 10 mgs a day until next month when clinic will ween me off and get on a controlled release pain pill.

I wouldn't advise quitting methadone or any other opiates cold turkey, I was on methadone almost 2 yrs and the first 2 weeks after tapering off I was fine the next 3 weeks was HORRIBLE. I couldn't sleep I was so sick. Taper down to zero on the methadone and see if ur doc will give you a prescription for a benzo that will help good luck

I should have been clearer. I waited only a day before taking the morphine. No way was I dealing with withdawl! Did that once......never again. Unfortunately my doc stated me on 15 MG's. Morphine.....when I was needing 30 mgs of methadone. Who can guest what my pain scale is??LOL
I hope my fellow painters have the best day possible!

I know this for sure you should not be takeing valium with methadone that is dealy as hell and would stop taking them together immediately I go to the methadone clinic and they wont give you methadone if your taking benzos

Who are you seeing in Vegas? Is your a workmans comp? They are the ones declining thevOxycontin.It's so expensive that the Drawn have to give you something you can afford.It also worked great for me.No side effects, just pain relief.

Ive taken xanax valuim or clomazapan with methadone and it works great it is a very dangerous mix if u take alot together.the bad thing is when u quit taking benzos the methadone doesnt help u will lose appetite stomach get screwed up and real bad constipation..i took for 5 months after my best friend died and it took 2 months to get back to normal coming off benzos.i stay away from xanax but take half of clamazapan here and there and only take 5mgs of methadone after 3 years of 40mgs.the methadone is used for back pain but my doc wasnt to bright so after one of his patients died he sent everyone to pain clinic and they help get my friend off of dones to small doses of morphine and perks and and thats what ill soon get..be careful out there dont be a statistic.

In las Vegas Nv. Try Dr.Mohajer Pooyah. May be spelled wrong. He is an India Dr., he cares for his patients, knowledgeable, spends time with you. NOT a pill mill. A real doctor.
