I am under the care of a pain management doctor for a major back injury and surgery in 2012 that left me with multiple ruptured discs, moderate to severe neuropathy in both legs, arachnoiditis and general severe back pain. I have been on methadone for 3 years with no change in dose (30 mgr 2x per day). I have no history of drug abuse. Last Monday without any warning, my insurance rejected my monthly methadone prescription. My doctor put in for a new medication, which took 4 days to get approved and filled. I started the new med Thursday evening (Morphine extended release 30mg 3x per day). I had already experienced some withdrawal symptoms by that point, mainly stomach upset that I was treating with Immodium and Pepto. However, the last 4 days have been miserable. By mid-day Friday, I had a full blown migraine with all the side effects, which had been normal for me prior to the methadone treatment. It is still going full steam, the Morphine has no effect. I cannot keep any food or much water down. Then this morning, I started having seizures/convulsions, 2 so far. I have no history of any kind of seizure, so this is new territory for me. My question is this: will the E.R. help me, or is this normal (and not dangerous) for methadone withdrawal? IS it methadone withdrawal or an adverse reactions to the Morphine? I want to go to the E.R., but my husband is 100% convinced it would be a waste of time, and since I don't drive, I am at his mercy. Thanks for reading!
