Years ago, when my pain DR put me on MS Contin, he said they are almost

exactly the same, almost indistinguishable, functionally. If one doesn't have

insurance or copays are different, it does cost a lot less, but that's not

really

the reason to chose one over the other. With me it was a stupid psychological

block, because I'm an RN & was concerned @ people that worked with me at the

time, though I think that it was really ignorant of me, in retrospect. I used

the MSContin for many years & switched to Duragesic years & years ago, just

cause I was very tired of taking of taking pills & was happy with the MSContin

& am with the Duragesic. I think it's 6 of one & 1/2 dozen of the other. I'm

sure others are taking Methadone. did you ask on ednf.org?

I've read every post TJ, I didn't see that one. I saw you asked about the

other meds. Dylan just stopped taking Methadone about 3 weeks ago. He had

tried it for about may 5 months. Most people do very well with it. Lots of

relief with little side affects. The Drs like to use it, because it is thought

to be the safest narcotic on the organs. It's the choice that is made if

pregnant moms have to take a narcotic. Dylan just had too many side affects. He

reacts differently than most people to most pain meds. He's a tough cookie to

figure out for the Docs. Also it is very cheep if you don't have insurance. He

had gone up to 60 mg a day, but his pain was still around an 8. With the side

affect problems, it was just time to try something else. He is on the patch now.

Still working on dosage. There are others on the board using methadone.

Thanks Cindy- yep if two taken four times a day , would equal 60 mgs- but he has

mine at 3 times a day so thats only 40....... I'm gittin more ticked by the

moment , i mean - not only did he mmake me come in 2 months ahead of my

appointment and be sore from the ride...... he also sugar coated my mental

ability........ LOL- think its time to give in........ and just because my right

leg is dead doesnt mean it cant do things......... I've trained it........ it

goes now where I want it to- brain power I guess........... I may not be able to

gauge pressure,,, the reason they said no driving was due to that and because I

rupture so easily...... lol - why is he playing games with me! ?

TJ, I did miss you post I think. I'm sorry - I don't use Methadone, so I

have no experience to help you with. Just wanted you to know I saw it this

time! Good luck - if you don't get any answers, please re-post your

question.

Love Lana
