Has anyone tried cat food as an alternative to methadone?

It's a fact that once a cat has had Whiskas for a while, it loses any interest in ingesting anything else. Ask any cat owner. It doesn't matter what else you put down, the cat won't touch it.

Whiskas for druggies. Waddaya think?
They could make a "Cold Turkey" flavour.
@ oldtimekid2: Yeah, well. That's not a very good answer. You don't know what you're talking about, for one thing. You, clearly, haven't observed the phenomenon. It goes way beyond simple preference. There is definitely a drug element.


I don't think that would really work... the flavor may be preferred by cats like if someone tries a chocolate chip cookie that they love and they just don't want any other kind of cookie. It's a preference issue, not a drug issue. Not a very funny joke, either.

What are alternatives to methadone for pain?

I had shingles in 2003 and it caused nerve damage (phn). I take about four or five 5mg doses of methadone a week to control the intense pain in the trigeminal nerve in my face. I am afraid of becoming addicted to this drug. Loritab does me no good at all. Has anyone had this experience. I have a physician that will prescribe methadone but I would really like to get away from it and him. My family physician can write lesser painkillers but I absolutely don't know which way to go. Are pain management doctors usually effective?


the key to pain meds, like methadone, is that if you have pain, and use the medication for that purpose, you do not become addicted. Addiction occurs when you don't need the med for pain and you only use it to get high, then you become dependant on the stuff. If the methadone works for you, then be grateful, because many meds will not work on neuralgia like yours.
