Chronic Pain
"I have been on Methodone one for nearly 13 years to manage chronic pain. I have been on 90mg. daily for approximately the last 3 years. I started at 100mg but after 10 years I had an auto accident and quickly discovered that since my dose was so high and my tolerance was great, almost every other pain med. the E.R. tried didn&#039;t work!! I was in the most agonizing pain I had ever felt! No sympathy from the nurses, to them, I &quot;had enough med. on board to kill a horse!&quot; Which was only maddening to me because &quot;I&quot; was the one in extreme agony! Its taking a long time but I definitely decided then that I needed to lower my dose as much as I could slowly, safely. I am still working on that. Three years and only down 1 10mg. pill is discouraging!!"
