Common Questions and Answers about Side effects of methadone used for pain
methadose
It could be a side effect of the methadone or even an allergic type reaction to it. I remember when I took Macrobid (antibiotic) for a urinary infection, I had a high fever (102.3) every time I would take it, so I called my doctor's office and they told me to stop it immediately because I was having an allergic reaction to it. As it turned out, my father had had this same type of reaction to it a couple years before.

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.
s allowing me to use the hydrocodone for breakthrough pain. I used it for several years prior to my cancer diagnosis for pain mangement of my thoracic outlet syndrome and did not have any problems with addiction. I only used it once or twice a day, broke a 5/500 in half whenever the pain got hard to handle. Hopefully that will work since the hydros don't have all of the potential side effects of the Ultram. Unfortunately, I have severe reflux disease so I can't take the NSAIDS.
t having to raise the dose to meet th epain need of their patient. And also methadone has shown to be a good pain med used for long term chronic pain relief becauuse of the above reason (and it's much cheaper).
I do have to say you were on a heavy dose of oxy if i understand correctly..20mg 1 in the am, 2 in the afternoon and 2 in the evening.
For some who get great analgesia from methadone, other medications can help with the side effects. For example, I used ritalin for the years I was using methadone. It kept me from falling asleep behind the wheel, and improved my ability to reason, greatly.
If the methadone is a good pain reliever (for me, it was the best), ask your doctor if he/she would be willing to try a stimulant medication like long acting methylphenidate or Adderral XL to minimize your methadone side effects.
My partner is on 32mls n he's droppin a couple of mls every 2 wks, he's doin so well, I wanted 2 know how I can help him when he's of completely & wots he goin 2 b like wiv out nothin ?
Several more teeth quickly followed before learning it was a possible side affect of taking Methadone for so many years. There was no warning, no pain or discomfort, and even though I had all of my teeth and only two fillings at the end of 2016, my dentist blamed me for poor dental hygiene.
It now looks as if I will loose the rest of my teeth as they are rotting from the inside out. I now live cowering in my house, too embarrassed to go out due to all of my missing teeth.
What you are experiencing from missing your dose is very normal...I was on methadone for almost 2 years.I went c/t off of 25 mgs and I'm coming up on 10 months clean.If I can help you out in any way please fell free to shoot me a pm anytime.All the best...
Opiates effect everyone differently- and the side effects and half lives of the medication can increase interactions/side effects.
That being said - it sounds as if your prescribed dosing is 1-5 mg OxyContin and 1-5 mg methadone tablet TWICE per day- is that correct? Then on top of your prescribed doses- you are self medicating by taking 2 or three times the daily amount in addition- you are TRULY lucky you have not wound up dead or in the hospital from overdosing.
she has had severe pain in her joints as well as a lot of pain in her hands and arms...no it is not arthritis.....my question is....what will happen if she combines the methadone and the pregabalin?...she takes methadone about every other day...a bottle of 130mg methadone will last her almost 5 to 6 days....any info would be helpful.
