Oxynorm + Methadone?

[FlyOnTheWall420]

OK so just a quick little history on myself and my drug use and then Ill get into my question, I'll try make it as quick as I can anyway.

OK so I was a very heavy heroin and benzo user for many years but over the past 4 years I have been on the methadone program and because of that for the last 2 years almost I have not gone back near any other street opioid and I have reduced my old dose of 45mg on Xanax a day down to now just taking 0.75mg per day and I have reduced my methadone liquid from 110ml to now just taking 35-40ml per day.

But over the past year I have been having some major complications with my back and shoulders witch has left me in agony pain for many months now and just been getting worse.
I was worried to ask my GP for strong painkillers though since due to my history, I felt they might of been thinking I was just script shopping but my new Doctor is the best doctor ever and so understanding.

I did tell him about my worries of not been able to get a painkiller to work for me though since the Methadone has my opioid receptors blocked and I have a crazy high tolerance to anything I ever take.
So I have also been prescribed clonazepam 0.5mg at night and Arthrotec witch is an anti-inflammatory and a gastrointestinal drug since I suffer with pretty bas stomach issues too for most my life.

But basically what I am asking is what kind of doses should I be taking to stop or at least give me some major relief since I have been on methadone for so long and still have a huge drug tolerance regardless.
I am not looking to get 'super high' or anything like that. I just really want this pain in my back to give me a break because over this last entire week I have only slept for 3 hours after every 50 hours awake. Like I havnt slept even a minute for the last 40 hours so far this time and I probably wont go to even try sleep for another 8-10 hours since its very early here now and if I can get to sleep I wanna be able to wake up in the morning instead of falling asleep in a couple hours from now and then be wide awake again before its even 8pm in the evening so I am sick of doing that....

Been looking at these forums for years now but just made my first account today so I could ask a question lol.

TLDR; Will I still get pain relief from Oxycodone even though I am a long term Methadone user?

Thanks in advance

It's going to be difficult for you to get any relief from other Opioids like Oxycodone or Morphine because like you said your on long term Methadone treatment and Methadone is a potent Opioid which will keep your Opioid receptors occupied. But if it was me I wouldn't just give up, there's no harm in trying other Opioids, you should definitely ask your GP about it.
