Common Questions and Answers about Methadone and lyrica
methadose
Hello Papagarv1,
Welcome. Sorry I am late in responding to your question. You've asked for no judgement - you won't get that from me. Very sadly ppl in chronic pain have been driven to all kinds sources to treat it. I don't condone buying opiates off the street, especially such a complex med like Methadone. Her risks are very very high! Please do your research. My concern is for her physical safety. Now I'll shut up and answer your question.
I have have been on methadone & zanax for 7yrs 40mg methadone & 31/2 mg zanax and slowly tappering off the methadone 5mg a week to reach 30mg to get on bupenorphen for 1to2 months so i can get off methadone because of longer w/d so i have heard i would appriciate any info thanks
Yes, I've taken it and also methadone you want to start taking 75 mg during the day and 150mg at night for a month then change to 75mg at night as well. Then tell your doctor to give you 50mg take it for a month then he will give you a weining schedule and then you should be home free. Exercising and moving right along, testifiying and tell people how good God has been to you.
t recommend that) and had very mild agitation, little sleep and wierd dreams for about 5 days. After that I was off of it. I switched to Lyrica. seems to work better than methadone. If you have not taken methadone as suscribed then you might have to taper off of it. If you have a problem please give the pills to someone you can trust to dish them out to you, and if you feel you want to argue with them, stop and meditate how good you future is going to be off this grip of methadone.
ve taken a lot of pain meds and gone through withdrawl for things like Hydrocodone, Percocet, and even Methadone. Second only to Methadone, Lyrica was the worst to withdraw from! Having said that, I'm am back on Lyrica because it does help my pain. I think the trick with Lyrica is to start out at a low dose and step it up gradually. I started with 25mg and did not get any relief until I got up to 125mg. When I went over 125 I got head aches.
Im in the same boat, i have fibromyalgia, and a ruptured disc in my back that i have to have surgery on in the near future, and i just got off methadone 40 days ago and i was going through serious wd,s AND back pain, my dr. gave me lyrica which helps alot. dont take the trams because your swithing one addicting drug for another and eventually u will have to withdraw from that too.
No this is not from TMJ, I had osteonecrosis in my jawbone, had 3 surgeries and haven't had any pain since I was on the methadone but now that I am down to 18mgs the pain is starting to come through, my sister tells me it is rebound pain???
I have taken Lyrica and stopped it and started it back and I am now stopping it again. It helps with my pain, but I get suicidal ideation when I take it. It is a good pain med and I know a lot of people who take it problem free. Some folks may not have wds from Lyrica, but I definately do. My wd from Lyrica was/is as bad as any wd I've experienced except for Methadone.
I have a strict rule for myself and that is no sweets after 4pm and I try and have dinner before 5pm and exercise before bed.
I know it is very hard to exercise with chronic pain and dieting is not an answer either as a healthy diet is the best option.
Maybe a program like weight watchers may help. I know it helps me when I do it as I have someone else to "compete" with:)
Having to weigh every week and having a goal also helps.
m currently on 12 mg/day of Suboxone for tingling/burning all throughout my body (in addition to Amitriptyline and Lyrica). However, I still have LOTS of pain - I still get this tingling sensation on top of my head and other painful paresthesias. I heard from multiple people that Methadone is better for pain than Suboxone, and so I brought it up to my doctor. My Dr.
The first time this happened I took Lyrica and Norco and it really helped with the pain and allowed me to sleep a little bit. Now this time Im trying the Lyrica by itself and Im not getting near the relief I did last time. I just had an MRI last week and they found that I have disherniation(protrusion) of L5S1disc that they think could be the cause of my nerve pain.
m also on Lyrica along with methadone and oxycodone for chronic low back/leg pain. The Lyrica is for my leg pain, which is caused by "nerve pain" as my doctor tells me. I think it may also have some antidepressant qualities, or something like that. I should know, since I have been taking it since the drug went on the market! I'm going to do a little research and find out what I can about Lyrica, just "for the fun of it"!.
The doctor put me on Methodone (5 mg) - 3 times daily and Lyrica (50 mg) - 3 times daily to help me get off the hydrocodone without any problems and also to control my terrible pain. It has seemed to work most of the time except I tend to be very sleepy alot of the time.
I would like to hear of your experiences with this medicine and if it worked in taking your pain away. Did you have any withdrawal symptoms when you went off of it? Any help you can give would be appreciated.
