Hi I need advice. I had a rare surgery for 3 tarlov cysts and the fentanyl and percocets with valium are not working.
Should I try morphine or methadone? The worst part is nerve pain. Seems you have been through alot.

MY Bf IS ON METHADONE AND HAS NO ENERGY SLEEPS ALL THE TIME AND HAS NO SEX DRIVE HAS THIS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ON 20MG A DAY???
I'm 33, and have been on Methadone for about 8 years. On March 12, 2011, I noticed that I couldn't exercise due to abdominal pain. Since I was having a sudden difficulty passing gas or stools, I began using laxatives (magnesium citrate). I was told it was probably constipation. Nearly a year and a half later, I'm still taking a laxative cocktail every night because I feel even worse if I don't. It seems I have to empty all contents of my stomach in order to have any degree of peace. I can hardly eat at all, and only one meal a day. I'm in agonizing pain on the left side of my abdomen, just under the rib, but generally in that whole area. I have migraine headaches, and I'm hungry, but the hunger pangs aren't as bad as the fullness and pressure that I always feel. I went to the hospital and had an x-ray (they refuse to do a CT scan or any other diagnostics because I don't have insurance, and I sure as hell can't afford a specialist. So I have no idea what's going on, but the x-ray indicated that there was no blockage. Still, the hospital sends me home with a laxative every time I go, and charges another $500 for it. I'm tired of suffering every single day, with no clue as to why. I was diagnosed with H. Pylori back in April of 2011 and started a treatment of antibiotics, but it didn't work, and the pain just seems to intensify with time. I was trying to taper off Methadone (70 mg) and had gotten to 58 mg when the stomach pain began. I'm trying to go without the laxative (again) because my grandmother thinks that could be causing more problems, and after two days without taking it, my stomach is constantly making coffee-pot noises, cramping, and I feel like my stomach's going to explode. I lie upside down to try to pass gas, and I'm constantly trying to burp just to get some small relief. I've had to stop going to college, stop hanging out with friends, and now I can't go anywhere but the clinic to dose. On top of that, I have burning migraine headaches at the base of my cranium, which stopped for a while, but they're back again. That could be caused from a combination of methadone and vomiting because of my stomach, which has caused cavities right at the gumline in several teeth. Last time I went to the "free" clinic to get a tooth pulled, they broke something, and a bone is sticking out; and after a year, there is still inflamation there. I wake up in the morning and have a panic attack because the pain is so great (I was used to feeling like sh*t in the morning because of methadone addiction, but nothing like this). My family thinks I'm being punished by god (I live with my grandparents). I don't have a car, so I can't seek help on my own. I was denied disability just last month, so I don't have much hope for getting well. Ironic how my friend gets approved for disability, and he's out skateboarding, partying...I sit in a room alone all day, suffering throughout most of the day. I swear, when a person is in desperate need of help, it's never there. It seems when you're happy and feeling good, everything turns out right...but I wouldn't know anything about that. I've gone from praying for help, to praying for death, to just accepting that I'm all I've got. Some nights I pat myself on the back, and tell myself it'll be okay. It's pathetic. I would go back to the hospital, but I'd just get the same doctor who gives me the magnesium citrate. He assumes it's the methadone. I tell him, no one else that I know at the clinic has this problem, and he says that he doesn't know that because he hasn't examined them. They're smiling and laughing; no, they don't have the same trouble as I do. I wanted to go to the hospital today, but I'm too weak to walk a mile or two to the bus stop in order to get there. I'm too weak to even stand up in the shower, but apparently the judge thinks that I can work some job, somewhere. I don't want to be a miser. I'm tired of wearing a permanent frown, with eyebrows furrowed down when I feel bad, furrowed upwards when I feel extremely bad. I don't want to talk to anyone, don't want anyone to ask how I'm doing (because they really don't want to know), and I get angry when I hear laughter. I hate to say it, but I'm filled to the brim with hatred for people, especially the ones who could've helped me but refused to. The thing is, when the pain is gone, all of the hatred and frustration disappear too.
Hi Brooke, I know you wrote this message 4 months ago, but it caught my eye because I have lived with a tarlov cyst or meneingacele. I think I spelt that last one wrong but if you type it into google it should tell you the correct spelling (if you don't already know it.) I just wanted to ask you how things were going for you? Have you healed okay? I truely hope so. And one last question. It a little on the personal side. Do you have Marfan's Syndrome? If you're scratching your head asking "what's that?", then chances are you don't have it. See I do have it, it's a genetic disease that makes the soft or connective tissue weak and that's why I have gone for 11 years with no doctor willing to help me, at least until this year. It's kinda funny how me getting cancer led me to a doctor that was willing to take the risk and help me. Anyway, sorry I made this so long. I just meant for it to be a short note. One more thing. I have nerve pain in my feet and gabapentinin has helped me and my son too, a whole lot. I hope you are doing well. I just had 1 cyst as large as a small watermelon, but you, you've had 3 of them to deal with. Take good care, Diane
i'M SORRY but it does get you high and a happy feeling you just have to be looking for that it dosnt get you high if you are on the same dose everyday but if you take different mil everyday it will get you high cuz I do it everyday and can't stop so be careful I am now in a program to try to kick my methadone addiction. Just sayin it can get you high and you can get hooked I did and many people I know. Hope you feel better. And yeah I was a heroin addict and that is a typical dose. And maybe you didn't get high but EVERYONE i know who first started on dones was messed up for a week til they got used to it.. Hope your pain gets under control I know nothing about pain but I do know you can become dependant on methadone and get high!!! then you are screwed and now a addict which fing sucks! good luck
Please ask your doctor, not us most of us (not all) don't have any idea of what we are talking about. I know the internet should have an answer. But it might be the wrong one for you. Everyone is different and react different that is why only ask a doctor, a real doctor not dr. Green thumb!
I know this sounds like I am a total drug addict but ALWAYS ASK A DOCTOR BEFORE ANYTHING! I have been on methadone for two and half years and this is only my experince. (I did the following without a doctor because of family and no real money.) When I first got started on methadone by the doctor I felt sick also and I asked the doctor he could not do anything, so I did I asked a family member who had a persciption for marijuana. REMEMBER ASK YOUR DOCTOR FIRST! I HATED the high but I was able to eat for the first time in a week, and my nausea went away temp, I tryed everything before otc and nothing worked. I smoked VERY little for the next week and then my body got used to the methadone. DO NOT BUY FROM THE STREET! I haven't touched marijuana since. I hate drugs and I will never again do them but at the time it helped me it might help with the strokes and relax you. Also log what you are eating and other meds. Maybe it could be something else. REMEMBER ASK A DOCTOR FIRST! I did this as a very last resort. God bless and I hope you get better. And I mean no disrespect. Good luck. P.s. I am not a professional. Just my experiance and to anyone who reads this STAY AWAY FROM STREET DRUGS IT WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE TRUST ME OR GO TO DOWN TOWN LA AND LOOK AROUND!
Hello I am 37 years old and was addicted to vicodin and norco for around 15 years or more and I wont go into my whole long aggonizing life story but lets just say I have been on drugs or alcohol since I was 13. Opiates since age 19 and when I was really ready to get off I couldnt! After a stint on Saboxone and getting off of that was WAY WORSE THAN PILLS!!!!But come to find out my brain hates me and no longer will produce natural opiates so I STAY IN WITHDRAWL OFF AND ON ALL DAY! It is a nightmare! Until I found the MIRICALE of METHADONE! But I have one really big problem.......
I am metabolizing it so fast! I am on 100mg and have went up and down for the past 6 months trying to find the rite dose! But it is 100 times better than the bag chase so to speak! I have completely changed my life with the help of Methadone but I am throwing up all of the time! I have went from 178 to under 150 in 6 months, I have NO appetite and have palputations and a whole other load of c**p, but not sure if its from Methadone. My doctor is running al kinds oif tests to find out why but could it be so simple as that I am just matabolizing it so fast I am waking up with witdrawls and puking my brains out, because after I go dose I am ok, still no appetite but not sick anymore. The methadone doesnt even show up in my urin when they do the monthy u.a. and they even do it supervised cause I guess they are making sure im not selling it or whatever lol. Any one else have this problemo ;0) IF SO YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!!!!!
