I left the 2 replies below since this is an old post.....but, it's about Methadone.

You both mentioned that your doctor's told you to put the Methadone in a seperate area than the rest of your meds due to them being a Street Drugs now, and because of the doctor's saying that, it made you feel like a junkie.

There is no way you can become a junkie while taking Prescription Medications if you have Chronic Pain. You can if you DO NOT have Chronic Pain.......

Now, if you feel "high", it's because the dose is too high and the doctor needs to lower it for you. Otherwise, it is perfectly safe for you to take.

Deb,

It is funny that the doctor told you not to tell anyone that you were taking it, because they told me the same thing. They told me in the pharmacy to put it in a completely different place than I put my other meds. I guess it is just as popular on the street as oxycontin! I store it in its own private place where I know it will never be found and just take out what I need each day. I find that it really does help me with my pain since they adjusted it. Take Care and LOL.

Stacey, Yes, I have taken Methadone for RSD and my doctor told me to keep it put away where no one could get it and to not tell anyone I had it because it had become a street drug. It helped the pain but I felt funny and the idea that is was such a dangerous narcotic I only take it once in a while. I found it did help the pain but I was afraid like you are that I might become a junkie. Good Luck and let me know how it works for you.

Love,

Deb from Louisiana
