"Under treatment for 5 years for  Peripheral Neuropathy &amp; severe burning pain in toes, feet, ankles &amp; lower legs.



W/Pain doctor, used 30mg Oxycodone 3X/day + 1.2 grams of Gabapentin 4 times/day + (at max.) 20 mg of Methadone, 4X/day.     On Methadone for 2.5 years.   Oxy for 4 years.



Did a 6-month slow weaning off  Methadone.     Feeling much better now, but STILL get an occasional hot flash and massive sweats.  



Then, went &quot;cold turkey&quot; on the  (FOUR YEARS of) Oxycodone.  .Started Nucynta Extended Release:  150mg 2X/day.   And used 0.3mg of Clonidine 3X/day for withdrawal.  But WD was still pretty bad. Used frequent Medical Marijuana to handle WD symptoms."
