Hi Ginny,
I have had the pain meds readjusted and they are helping me now.At first
start with the methadone I was taking a total of 20mgs. a day which
really spaced me out so bad I could not function.Then he cut me down to
10 mgs. a day and that was not enough for the pain,so he put me up to
12 1/2 mgs a day which still was not enough.I ended up going into the
office and he put the methadone up tp 17 1/2 mgs a day which is better
but still not totally great.I have to take 1 full methadone at 5:oo a:m
then 1/2 a methadone at 10:30,1:30 and 4:30 then another full methadone
at 8:00p:m.I am also only taking the klonopin once a day instead of 3
times a day. I do have breakthrough pain with the 1/2 doses though.My
next appointment with the pain management Dr. is August 16th.Thanks for
your concern it really means alot to me to have people to talk to on
this forum.I have to go now but will be back tomorrow.
