Side Effects Of Methadone (Page 2)

my dr just put me on methadone hcl 5-325 for a 3 level back fusion and was wondering if this causes bad heartburn? I've tried finding the side effects with no luck.

Same s*** to me and 6 weeks after stopping it my hands and body are almost normal. 3 years taking it and last year it started and got worse so I had to stop. I thought I had MS or something. It does not go away. It's worse in the morning and goes all day. That s*** sucks.

First of all your doctor shouldn't have prescribed methadone for acute pain. Methadone is prescribed for chronic pain. I have been on methadone for 3 years this time and it truly does help chronic pain. I've also had to withdrawal from it to have another back surgery. It is very hard and painful to come off of depending on how long you have been on it. First week is the hardest. But as for chronic pain it has worked the best for me. Good luck. Pain stinks. I've dealing with it since 1998.

And I am upset that they think everyone that is on pain medication is a drug addict. Well they're not. Sure your body is addicted to it, but that doesn't mean everyone is out seeking drugs. I would rather have my job back where I was making $80,00 per year. I would give a limb in exchange for chronic back pain. I feel for everyone that is actually in pain and needs medication to help.

$80,000 per year. Not $80.00. Lol. And retirement. Healthcare. And 6 weeks of vacation.

Suboxone is addicting as well as methadone if not more so.

Everyone experiences burning in the throat and heartburn and I’m wondering if it leads to esophageal cancer?
