-Pain Medications Suggestion

[Guest guest]

:

I spent the first two or so years of having cp taking various forms of

oxycodone, including up to 120 mgs. three times a day of oxycontin. That

was until about a year ago, when this medication just didn't seem to work

near as well as it did, I was nauseas all the time, and I was flaky even

more of the time...This was when my pain management doctor introduced me to

methadone. I take 30-40 mgs. 3 times a day...I feel like my old self, not

as flaky...but hardly any nauseas and my pain is very well controlled. I

use Actiq pops for breakthrough pain...which I am sweating out that they are

going to restrict to only patients with cancer, because they work great and

instantly for breakthrough pain. I hope this might be another option for

you. Good Luck!
