Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Hi Willow I take Methadone and Ms contin. I started taking Methadone 2 times a day. Now I take it 4 times a day. It seems to help keep me more even. Are you having problems with it??? -- Willow wrote: Were you taking your dose once a day or was it divided into smaller doses taken throughout the day?

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Hi Willow, I take my doses every eight hours. They, my doctor, has had me on every six hours but I can't maintain that schedule because you have to take it pretty religiously. I have a hard enough time taking it every eight because you have to take it on schedule. With the every six, that means getting up from a good sleep to take your meds and I'm not doing that. If and when I do get a good nights sleep I am not about to purposely wake up just so I can take my pills so I went back to every eight hours. I wasn't prescibed a total amount for 24hrs and had it divided. I started at a certain dose and was ordered to take it every eight hours from the beginning. --------------------------------- How low will we go? Check out Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 My Dr rx's me Methadone in 10mgs, so i can take up to 40mgs per day. Some days i can just take 10mgs and be okay. --------------------------------- All-new Yahoo! Mail - Fire up a more powerful email and get things done faster.

At times I get soaked with sweat - so much that my shirt and the sheets need to be changed and I probably need to shower and wash my hair. My hair is as wet as if I had already showered. I don't know if this is related to the Methadone or hormones or breakthrough pain. I have an appointment with my pain doc later to day. I'll run it by him and see what he says. ; ) Willow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
