It just scares me that I am on 26 and I am always taking pills between pepto bismol and tums and rolaids it is crazy!!!!! any suggestions that are not sarcastic would be so greatly appreciated
Samantha,
I too am on methadone to help with chronic pain. I take 100mgs a day, 40 in the am, 20 afternoon, and another 40 in the pm. I don’t take ANY Anti-inflammatory at all, because they can cause upset stomach, nausea, etc…
I’d ask my doctor about that too be sure, also there aer drugs to help you with this symptom also! The one I ask for when I am not feeling well is "fenagrin" but your MD may want to try something else for you. If you want, you can talk to your RX also, and see what he has over the counter that you can try.
As far as the weight gain, I gained a lot also when I started methadone. I had to watch my calorie intake, get more exercise, and also, cut down on the carb’s which I seemed to be craving from the medication.
Everything I have suggested should be talked about with your doctor or your pharmacist. I am not an MD, I only have had some of the experiences you are going through. I wish you luck!! && hope you feel better soon!! I want to add that I sometime have to FORCE myself to gt up and get active, but I feel better for it and then I am also able to sleep better at night!
LUCK!!
