will it hurt a person to take tramadol while taking methadone?

I wouldn't do it.  I know they're both pretty powerful and both mood altering.  I know that junkies use both so I would not combine them together, you really shouldn't need to.  Methadone is usually used when someone is trying to get off drugs.  Tramadol may not be a narcotic and may not be controlled but it probably should be as it definately alters the mood.

Well, your question was whether diabetic neuropathy can bring on pain in a person's legs.  Yes, it can.  More often, though, is a loss of pain and other sensation in the legs.  That's how a diabetic person can sustain a serious injury to the foot and not feel a thing.\n \nIn your mother's case, I suggest strongly that her physician be alerted to her situation.  There are other anodynes that can be tried (an anodyne is a painkiller).  It's odd that not even morphine relieves her pain, which suggests that drug should simply not be given her anymore.  There is such a thing as drug tolerance, in which the person needs more and more of the drug to come anywhere near the sought-after relief.  In the case of an opiate like morphine, there are complications that can be life-threatening.  \n\nThere are worthwhile alternatives that should be offered your mother.  But the doc has to be made aware of her ongoing discomfort.  There are doctors who are pain specialists; if hers is not one of these, your mother is within her rights to ask for a referral to one.

If you are honest about use of the drug for pain related use, there is a high probability that it will merely be included to be discluded from the results.  However, methadone is a highly addictive controlled substance and may not be as casually treated as an antibiotic may be.  As for your reason for worrying about the prescription, the pharmacist should have it.  They may ask for the name of the pharmacy that fills the prescription.  Another thing to consider is that it is a criminal offense on the federal level to take prescription drugs prescribed for someone else.  There may be have mitigating circumstances such as a 'fear of doctors' or 'inability to pay for doctor's services' that caused your lack of substantiating documents to attest to your need for having Methadone in your system.  Pain in and of itself is a powerful motivator to do something that would ordinarily not be done (from an ethical standpoint).  If it is intense enough to require pain medication that is as strong as methadone, you could be doing additional damage to the muscles and underlying tissues to continue to stress your back.  Pain is a signal to something being 'wrong'.  Listen to it.  It is trying to 'tell you something'.  Back pain can be very serious and should be examined for potential paralytic problems.  You could really hurt yourself more by taking the drug and continuing to work than it you try to endure the pain and stop when you are unable to stand the pressure.  See if you can find a physician to diagnose and prescribe a therapy treatment or obtain a prescription prior to the test date.  Even if the prescription is not the same, it is much better to say that I obtained some and took them until I could go to see the doctor...than to say, I am avoiding doctors and taking someone else's relief remedy.  The person for whom it is prescribed probably actually needs it, too.\n\nFurther, from a legal perspective, employers often have employees sign a legal waiver that enables them to access certain types of medical information.  Your physician may also ask for you to sign a medical information waiver form to feel protected from a breech of patient-doctor confidentiality trust.  It is better for me not to be concerned about it because any unauthorized use or circulation of it could be a matter of legal consequence.  If in doubt of the confidentiality of your physician related documents, seek an attorney's advice prior to testing.  It could prevent your arrest for illegal drug use.  There confidentiality goes 'beyond the grave'.  They cannot talk about you to anyone unless you are intending to commit a haenous offense against mankind (killing) AND they took you at your word.  \n\nSee a doctor, soon.  Hope you get to feeling better.  I used to take Doan's pills as if they were after lunch mints due to the amount of strain in one of my positions held before I had acquired skills and proficiencies through training programs to enable me to do less strenuous 'work'.

Methadone is a synthetic analgesic similar to Morphine.  It works very well for pain relief...most people think of methadone as a medication given to heroin addicts to relieve symptoms of detoxification from heroin.  I took Methadone as a PRN with Oxycontin,  but it gave me really bad headache so I had to switch to another PRN narcotic.. If it helps and the doctor has prescribed it for pain use it as directed.  Hope this helps.  Pain is a horrible thing to live with I sincerely hope the operation is a success.

Tramadol seem sto be one of the drugs of choice.  There is also a med called toradol, or ketorolac, but it cannot be taken long term, only for a few days.\n\nI have attached some websites that should help.

Yes, in fact, they can be deadly.  Taking a precribed pain killer over a long period of time puts you at risk for a prescription dependency if you aren't already now and the pain meds themselves become tolerated by your own system until you will no longer be able to rid the pain without increasing the dosage or changing the medication to a stronger rx.  If you take the medication to treat pain as it comes then you may also find yourself masking a totally different medical condition that requires attention by a professional and not a "do it yourself prescribed treatment".  The effects on your body itself from the daily use of almost any medication can have negative reactions to your organs and even the make-up of your immune system.  And, that "everything is perfect" and the "pain is all gone" feeling that comes with the relief of chronic pain...when a pain medication becomes tolerant in your system there is no relief in the end.  I took some of the strongest pain medications for years, all prescribed legitimately and the day I treated a pain I shouldn't have it almost killed me.

In your own words: "I would gladly be addicted to opiates for the rest of my life if it means I can be out of this pain."  The doctors are right to protect you from yourself.  Have you tried therapeudic massage, thermal water treatments, etc?  I wish you luck.  Living in pain is certainly very depressing.  You have my sympathy.

I was on methadone maintenance as recently as a month ago.\nIf you do a slow drop in your milligram intake it is not very painful to get off. I was ok in about 2 days and never really felt that bad anyway. \n\nThe key to the whole thing is slowly getting off, DO NOT try to rapidly drop the dosage and then all of a sudden stop taking it completely. You will experience bad withdrawl symptoms.\n\nMethadone maintenance saved me in a way. I did it for alomost a full year. But don't get too comfortable on methadone, it can be very addicting. Use methadone as a drug to get off drugs. \n\nI suggest after you get to the peak of your dosage, that you drop the methadone dose at a rate of 1-2 milligrams per week.

Well, taking any medication while pregnant is risky.  Being that morphine is a drug adminitered in hospitals only, talk to the doctor that gave it to you about your concerns.

Methadone is not the same as the other two.  The first two were the same thing.

It should say on the bottle...you could call your local pharmacy. If you are asking the question you probably shouldn't take the pills and see your doctor for your new pain.

That depends on your resistance to codeine.  I have been prescribed T3, T7.5, T10, and even T15.  In spite of the greater strength of the others, T3 has always worked best for me.  It also depends on where the pain is located.  Codeine isn't a deadener to every type of pain.

Methadone is a narcotic and is used to help with narcotic withdrawal.  By giving it to an addict one can avoid the withdrawal reactions once the addict stops the narcotic.  In such cases only a registered drug abuse center can dispense the medication.  Also, methadone is very effective for people with chronic pain because it lasts longer than painkillers such as codeine, hydrocodone (Vicodin) and oxycodone (Percocet).

She needs to go a methadone clinic where they will monitor her better and taper her off. I have heard many stories similar to this concerning suboxone. I think it should be banned methadone is much more effective. Just be aware that methadone is also a ssri so adding antidepressants could be deadly that and anything else that would raise her serotonin (St John Wart, dxm/coughsyrup) I wouldnt recommend any type of sleep medication at all. Also you can make lemon poppy seed tea to curb the withdrawls (maybe thats why she sleeps so much, shes taking to much at once and then withdrawing). Just mix poppy seeds with lemon juice...filter with a coffee filter and drink. This has been know to work even though many would disagree. In my area they have programs that will pay/reduce for rehab or treatment. Its called CARE I dont know maybe thats available in your area check it out.
