can i take this much
I am prescribed 10mg methadone 3 times per day. I have decided to scale back a little with my doctors okay because it seemed a little too much for me. I just started methadone last week. Today at 9am I took 5mg and at 3:30pm I took 5mg. But it didn't last and I had bad pain so I took the other 5mg at 7:30pm. Now I am scheduled to take 10mg at 11:30pm. Can I take this only 4 and a half hours after taking 5mg or should I just take 5mg and go back to my regular schedule tommorrow? HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!
do you have something for break through pain you can take in between? Then you don't have to worry about it. Good luck.
Hi Foreversittin,
Welcome to the Pain Management Forum. I am very sorry I didn't get to this sooner. I could have answered your question with certainty. This is something that you need to ask a pharmacist or your physician. I would hate to advise you incorrectly.
Methadone has a long half life. I hope you came up with a good solution and your pain was eased. If you have any questions please feel to ask again and hopefully we can be of more assistance.
Take Care, Tuck
