withdrawals
I've been taking percocet for a few years now for chronic pain. My doctor prescribed me methodone for the pain. If I stop taking the percocet & start right away taking the methodone will I go through any withdrawals?
i TOTALLY agree dont use Methadone or soboxin it is just trading one addiction for another.. just have to taper off.. I am now clean 5 days after 4 yrs using 15 mg oxycodone. I am not 100% but it is alot better.. good luck
hello and welcome to mh. dont know what kind of pain you have but the methadone has more severe and much longer detox than the percocet withdrawal. many,many times the pain gets much worse the longer you are on pain pills. it is rebound pain.
it is usually advisable to be off all pain meds for about a month to re-evaluate the pain.
once you are on the methadone it is very hard to get off of it.
