Topic starter   [#9753]

Started methadone eight months ago for pain and I am trying to work out whether what I am feeling now is tolerance or something else.

Cold and heat sensitivity turned out to be part of it and is barely mentioned anywhere.

Would rather hear from people who have lived it than from the leaflet.

Access to mugs should be on the clinical questionnaire. Same for me with methadone, unfortunately.

You are not imagining it and you are not being difficult. Document it and take the document in. Same for me with methadone, unfortunately.

Personal experience, labelled as such, is exactly right here. Nobody is prescribing.

My pharmacist has become my actual doctor and I am at peace with it.

Everyone here blames the drug. Half the time it is the appointment schedule, not the molecule.

Small wins count. Walking to the mailbox is a data point.

Reference ranges differ between labs, so comparing two reports is close to meaningless.

Ten percent cuts, of the current dose not the original. That is the arithmetic that keeps it survivable.

Following this because I am in the same place and have no idea what to ask at the appointment.
