Yeah, well my PM doc must not beleive in breakthrough meds. I was on 15mgs methadone 4 times a day. I called in with kidney stone pain and he increased it to 100mgs a day. From 60mgs to 100mgs is a big difference, and all I really needed was something like percoset to take in between doses. Now he has me on Oxycontin 20mgs 2 times aday!! That isn't enough with the tolerance I've built up. I had to stop taking that much meth because it made me feel "high" and people were noticing. I don't understand why he won't listen to me about breakthru. Im going to my PCP and either throw myself at her mercy. I just got a bad burn (from falling asleep with a heating pad on my back for 8 hours) and am in terrible pain from that. I also have stones plus fibro and spondylosis. I can't take anymore. Im starting to have anxiety attacks with all this pain. I don't know if she can do anything, but maybe she can talk to my PM for me or I can ask her to take over. I pretty much know what meds work for me and what dose. I wish I could just tell her, but Im also afraid of being a drug seeker. But Im sorry going from 100mgs of methadone to 40mgs a day of oxycontin is stupid. No breakthru or anything!!
