Guest guest Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Robin, I take methadone and it works great for me. I take it 3 times a day and I use oxycodone (NOT oxycotin) as a breakthrough med. I have had some side effects, but I've found that they are common with any pan medication. My side effects: sleepy, memory lapses Also, compared to most other pain medication, methadone is pretty cheap. I hope the methadone will help. It may take a bit to find the right dose for you, so don't be discouraged if it doesn't work immediately. Kimber -- Kimber Vallejo, CA hominid2@...

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 I am on methadone and oxycondone for break through pain. The methadone does take a while to build up on your system. It took about three days for me. Now thing are OK. Yet, I have more than the CP pain I also have the pain from the stone in my biliary tree. Methadoe does work well for me.
