Methadone should be your VERY!! last resort for pain control.My best friend was on it-but,as she was on it(& yes,an addict) I guess she didn't feel anything right away,so she took nore than prescribed,Yes,my friend had an accidental overdose & died at 51yrs.,I am the one who found her.Please don't take this med. as much as you can avoid it.& No,she was not suicidal,I knew her very well,& she was against that.Be very careful & take ,to the T!!,as directed.I have chronic pain & on 7.5mg. perk's,4 a day-I will NEVER go on methadone,very dangerous! The best of health to all!!!
Ray, my wife was on methadone for a pain-pill addiction for a little over a year. She was content to just keep taking it but I saw what it was doing to her. That **** is poison. Anyhow, I looked into ways out of it and found Suboxone, which is a "bridge drug". Under a doctors care, she dosed-down to a low methadone dose and then was off methadone for 2 days before starting suboxone. She was then on suboxone for 2 weeks before stopping it completely. She had very mild wd symptoms an a little nausea, but otherwise it was almost a miracle drug. And that's coming from a guy who absolutely hates pharmaceuticals.
Hope this helps you in some way.
I would be looking at 2 diffent things 1 is blood pressure im fairly certain this is your problem the othe is blood sugar but blood preshure spikes are comon coming off narcotics this is not normal for withdrawals so get to a doctor and get checked out it might be as simple as b/p meds for a wile good luck and God bless.......Gnarly
