Im a second year student nurse writing an essay on pain relief, my chosen subject is the effectiveness of pain relief for a 7 year methedone user, any links to websites or infor with references would be fantastic! im struggling to support my essay
i realise i have missed the L in RELIEF

I hope I can be of help. I remember term papers, research papers and the joy of no sleep..LOL I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Marshall University with my RN, BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) I bet that is what your going for. Ok...I am also on Methadone and an advocate. Plus, I have my own video that I sell to clinics for use with new patients and run my own website at http://findingnormal.webs.com/ So, now that I have tooted my own horn..LOL Let me see if I can give you some links to help. BTW, our student library gave us the right to view online medical journals without joining and paying to sign up. You may want to check into that because working from home you usually only have access to the abstract which is not enough. Also, whenever you use a great article look at the references to find more to use. Now try these..

These are just a few of many. Like I said look at your references. Also, to answer your question. Pain relief can be less effective for those in MMT however, it needn't be. It just takes a doctor who knows what their doing and some trial and error plus compassion and understanding of addiction to help ease the pain of MMT patients. I know about that too. I have terminal liver cancer also from HCV contracted while a nurse. :) Good Luck in your nursing career. God Bless!

I am currently taking Norco 10 mg 6 times daily and 20 mg's of Methadone. From what I am learning I trust that the Subutex is going to help me with the withdraws from Hydrcordone. However, I am concerned about the Methadone. Will Subutex work equally well for the withdraws from Methadone?

I'm sure you have heard it a thousand times but really, nothing will work unless you want to really quit! My ex took 70mg of methodone a day at the clinic and an occasional loratab when he would take 2 doses in one day! He was horrible on that stuff but anyways he went to rapid detox in New Orleans. I don't know if you know about it, but they give you a shot that immediatly take hydrocodone out of your system and you shit yourself and throw up for a few days but after that you won't have the long term withdrawals and cravings. They put him on depression medicine after that and he did okay for a year after that and didn't constantly, or ever go out searching for drugs that I know of. Sorry for the long answer...hope I helped. No, Subutex doesn't work. It is just another drug that you will be dependent on. The only reason Methodone clinics exist is because they don't want ppl on the streets or robbing places so they can get cash to score, because you know like I do that they will.

I just started hearing about methadone being used recreationally. I know what it is for but am curious why it is being used recreationally and is it now easy to get?

Methadone is a synthetic opiate with several uses. It is used to aid Heroin addicts to taper off the (heroin) they are using so that they can get sober. It is also used humanitarily for pain for terminally ill patients. Do you seriously want to try this stuff??? It is actually more physically addictive than Heroin itself.
Not a good idea,at all.

From my research it seems that Suboxone is safer, fits into your life better (no standing in line at 5am) and does not have the severe withdrawals that methadone users experience. I would like some real life answers..it is to get off of the roller coaster of pain pill addiction. How expensive is Suboxone w/o insurance?

sub is "easier' to get, meaning you only need to see a doctor once a month to get it instead of going to a clinic daily.

However, they are both super long lasting opiates and both produce severe and very long lasting withdrawals once you try to discontinue them.

Most sub doctors are charging about $200 per office visit (for a 10 minute visit just to write a script) and the pills cost about $7 for an 8mg tablet at a pharmacy.

Getting off pain pills is a 30 day roller coaster ride, and getting off sub or methadone is a 2 year roller coaster ride...a very bumpy ride that most can't tolerate.

You also will have all the same side effects on sub or methadone you have on pain pills, plus usually some new ones.

I would strongly recommend you look at other options. I went the sub route after being filled with lies from doctors about how great it is, and it robbed me of 5 years of my life.

If i had to do it all over again, I would go inpatient to detox for 30 days, or less, and be done with it. No one ever wants to go inpatient and be away from their family and loved ones for that long, but compared to sub or meth, 30 days of your life is a breeze.
