Valium vs Xanax

[Dextro .45]

Edit: I honestly want to just get back on Methadone. I never had an issue with that medication, and it always lasted the full 12+ hrs for me. I was only prescribed 10mg x3 a day too, which wasn't that high, all things considered. When I moved to a state (PA) that wasn't fond of prescribing meds like that, I tapered myself off Methadone, fairly easily. Without too many bad WD symptoms. More PAWs than anything else. I'm just in another state now (NM) that isn't fond of giving out Methadone for pain management. And on top of that, the Methadone clinics I've called actually told me, unless I was A) Homeless B) Addicted to illegal substances (ie Heroin and whatnot) or C) HIV positive, they would not accept me. Like...WTF is that about. Never in my life have I had to go through so many hoops just to get treatment for a legitimate issue. I cannot wait to fing move..

I’ve been getting Methadone 100 tablet bottles monthly for 10 years or so…..for pain management via family doctor

It’s not just for Heroin addicts. Forget Methadone clinics….you don’t want to sit in a gross room packed with 15 sweating agitated addicts waiting for their pathetic daily drink, day after day. Disgusting

Go to a pain management clinic referral by your family doc ….you’d obviously have to have legitimate documentation and diagnosis of a genuine medical condition that warrants a long acting opioid, and you’d properly have to be an opioid tolerant patient. Methadone gets more potent when taken long term (weeks) as it builds up due to its long half life

Short term opioids are best suited for a short term injury/surgery etc, then slowly weaned off

Methadone is mostly for long term chronic pain…..find a new doc, specifically a Pain Specialist that is willing to script you monthly Methadone tablets (5/10/40mg wafers)
