I take morphine and dilaudid for chronic pain associated with my 9 hip surgeries and three car accidents
I would like to take methadone for pain management instead of what I'm taking I live in Clearwater Florida

Hello, Karen! How are you? I'm sorry about what you've been through.

Why do you want to switch? Are the Morphine and Dilaudid working for you?

Most doctors aren't going to want to prescribe Methadone, due it's extremely addictive nature.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

NO!! I'm uninsured, live 20mi east I4. I've used each of these. Right now methadone was the only thing I could get. I am in so much pain, I want to die! My usual scripts are duragesic 75mcg with Nucynta 50mg for breakthrough. And that worked VERY well. Perhaps u could switch. I'm also 4yrs clean & sober, taking meds correctly is a matter of life and death for me. Do u know of any teaching hospitals for uninsured??

To W. Grand Rapids: Don't take Methadone....it REALLY does take a toll on your bones. I tried this and it really doesn't help w/pain, although they will tell you it does, take the pain meds your on or switch to one w/out any aspirin or tylenol.
