Hi all,
I've been browsing here, trying to gauge whether I'm going to have issues in coming off of methadone and vicodin. It looks like I'm in much less of a dire position than most of you here, so forgive me if I'm coming to you for something that you consider trivial.
I just need a simple answer from someone other than my doctors, who seem utterly ignorant.
I'm on only 5mg methadone three times daily, and using approx 40mg of Vicodin daily (10mg tablets x 4). I don't know whether it matters, but I'm also on 300mg Neurontin twice daily.
I suffer from chronic facial pain, similar to trigeminal neuralgia, except the pain is constant and bilateral. I may, however, be facing the end of my chronic pain.
I want to discontinue the methadone and vicodin, but I want to make sure I do it in a reasonable way. I know it's a minimal dose, but I've also read many of your stories. I'm concerned that even a little evil is still evil.
Am I going to need any special advice, or is my maintenance dose small enough to where I won't see any significant effects?
Thanks for your time. I may not know anyone here, but just browsing through these threads I've come to gain a lot of respect for the ones who are honestly trying to help.
