Good morning everyone,
I hope all is well.I had my appointment with the pain management Dr.
yesterday and it went pretty well.As you all know I had quite a time
with the meds.When he first started me on them.I was taking 1 methadone
4 times a day along with 1 klonopin 3 times a day which really made me
so spaced out that I was not capable of functioning at all.So he cut me
down to 1 methadone 2 times a day but kept the klonopin the same.At that
point the methadone was not helping me with the pain so I called him
back and he adjusted the methadone so that I was taking 1/2 a methadone
3 times a day and then 1 full pill before going to bed and cut the
klonopin down to taking it once a day. This still did not help me with
taking the pain away so he wanted me to come into the office to try to
get the meds situated around where they would help me.I am now taking 1
methadone at 5:00 a:m ,1/2 a methadone at 10:30, 1:30 and 4:3o and then
another full methadone at 8:00 p:m.Along with still taking 1 klonopin
once a day incresing it to twice a day within 1 week or so.The Dr. told
me that he would like me to give this medication the best shot I can
because he feels that this is the best medication for me to be on with
what I have been through for the past year and a half.So I am hoping
that this will work for me.I hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend
and will post again soon.
