OK. I am a CP patient. I thought you guys could help me out. I was taking oxy 60 mgs 3 x a day for about 2 years. I screwed that up because I was using to many and my PMD let me go. Shocker! Anyway, he gave me 60 methadone pills and pretty much said "Good Luck". I managed to taper down to 10 mgs a day, which I have been on for about 2 weeks or a little less. I just took my last one. Tomorrow I go to a new PMD, who practices Pain Mgmt through Meds.

Question One: If I don't get any meds from him tomorrow, will I go thru hideous wd's like you do on oxy? Or will it be to a lesser extent? I haven't been on meth that long, and I don't think I am on a high dose, so I am thinking it won't be that bad. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Question Two: Knowing my past history. What would this new Dr have to put me on to keep my levels pretty even? I am terrified to tell him I am on the meth, cause he will want to know why and where I got them. Then he will want to contact my old PMD. That won't go over so swift. We had a HUGE disagreement with my old meds. So, I don't want him to talk to him. Please give me some advice.

Love to All!
