Actually there are several very good articles on the use of methadone for long term treatment of chronic pain. It is beleived to be the narcotic least apt to be abused and has the least side effects.
I'm sorry I forgot the author (a respected PM Physician) of the best and most informative article but maybe someone here will remember. I found it by goggling it.
Dosage may have to be increased in time but again they beleive not as often as other opiates.
When methadone is taken under medical supervision, long-term maintenance causes no adverse effects to the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, bones, blood, brain, or other vital body organs. Methadone produces no serious side effects, although some patients experience minor symptoms such as constipation, water retention, drowsiness, skin rash, excessive sweating, and changes in libido. Once methadone dosage is adjusted and stabilized or tolerance increases, these symptoms usually subside.
Long term Sub and methadone are reffered to as "harm reduction" or replacement therapies" If you can't make it now without something I think lower dose methadone would be better . It's works better for cravings or drug hunger for hrad core addicts and in the case of an emergency it's easier for the medical people to deal with.
s dopamine structure and that i will never be happy again or feel as good as before i began the drug use. can anybody tell me what some of the long-term effects maybe and weather i will be able to fully recover. Did i permantely damage my brain's structure? Please, i need some medical information on this. I have been looking on the internet but not much exists.
i dont know if these are possible long term effects of the drugs or something else. everyone keeps saying im having anxiety attacks but these feelings come when i am calm and seem very serious. if anyone has any advice on whats going on ,whether drug related or not,, or any advice on good doctors to go to PLEASE let me know immediatly.
BUT, I have to take it or I am in pain. So try not to worry so much about the long term effects when you are trying to survive today.
If you are worried about this I would talk to my doctor and let them know what you are experiencing and there may be something they can do differently. Just dont stop any seizure med without a doctors help.
Hope you feel better..
does anyone at ALL feel frustrated, used, mislead, and just angered that the (your doc/methadone people)did not at least warn YU of the possible head/brain issues with long term methadone use? When i did some research, i found that this was known in 2001!!!!! not just 2012!!!! Probably before 2001. in the U.K they were dispensing methadone much earlier than North America. I am in Ontario Canada. Blaming them or anyone for my addiction i am not!! Is not a reasonable expectation that the C.O.P.S.
dont be too scared as said above few people experience sides but one thing is for sure long term use for decades is not healthy and only cirrhosis or severe damaged liver can justify such use so i'd definitely combo with other therapies so that nucs can be used short term

Can long term Opiate Addiction cause long term brain damage? Is there any records that prove this..... I personally feel that it's a real possibility, but don't know what anyone else thinks or knows for sure. Also can immidiate Methadone withadraw pose any serious health risk? Again, are there any records of this?
The transition method seems valid, though I don't recommend long term methadone use. Methadone is actually that much stronger and long lasting 30mgs will cover 160mgs of oxy. If your husband is an alcoholic, he is an addict, with enough time, his new drug of choice could become opiates, which is worse in my mind, the the consequences are the same though. The detox from methadone is about 90 days on average, it's 2-4 weeks for oxy, so it really depends on what his long term goals are.
