Pain med effect (?)

[grima6]

Hi Maria,
I was on Methadone 20mg/day and it did give me some pain relief but after 2 weeks the "build-up effect" caused me to vomit myself silly and needed a week in hosp to rehydrate! In the two wks that I was on methadone I definately was like someone had pressed a fast-forward button somewhere! I felt the need to clean and couldn't just do a simple task like having a cup of tea without cleaning the bench with my spare hand. Neurontin may also be partly responsible for this as well. My experience with it was that my ability to concentrate went to zero and this fuzzy, busy mind made sleep difficult.
I had the same reactions to methadone to you but I was only on it for two weeks so I don't think it is just because of long-term usage, sometimes your body will just react to drugs because it wants to!!!! I should know, my body reacts to just about every bloody one!
Anyways, feel free to send me a pm sound like you have very similar pain to me.
Take care
