(They are as cute as ever!!!) My PMD has upped my 5mg. methodone to 1.1/2 every 8 hours. Percocet 10mgs with 1/2 taken early morn to 1/2 at lunchtime, then 1/2 after school let out and then 1/2 before I went to sleep was the best routine where I could actually control the hardest parts of my pain and actually survive as a Wife, Mother and Teacher functionally. Are there otc meds that can relive my pain when combined? With methadone, I still feel the shooting pains down my buttocks and wake up at least 4 times a night. That's with alternating Lunest/Ambien 10mg a night. I am trying to appeal to anyone that can offer suggestions. I am trying to get a referral for a new PM Doc. I have a script for methadone 4.1/2 3 times a day. Motrin and asprin seem to work just as well. Is anyone aware of a website that may have info on helping in this way? I don't want to be a drug dealer, drug maker, or seller but I need to have control over my own maintenance of MY body. I'm only 45. Any help would be so beneficial!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! welcome & again & hope you're ok tonight.....and that things get better for you xxx
