I am interested in the Methadose vs Methadone discussion. I am looking at my husband's bottle, and it says "Methadone Malin". I am assuming that the pharmacy just typed Methadone as the generic name, or something. I also assume that the "Malin" would stand for Malinkrodt. So he would be taking Methadose. I have followed the discussion that the pain control is better with the Roxanne version. Would the side effects be different? Or just more because you need to take more to get the same effect? My husband's main problem is sleepiness, but he had the problem while he was on Neurontin and Methadone, even before the Lyrica and before the Topomax. (Although it is really extreme now). So if he could take less Methadone, that would be good. Or is the chemical composition more potent in the Roxanne version so the side effects would be the same, because you are getting the same amount of the chemical in a lesser dosage. Am I making sense?
