I was just wondering how you are able to cope with the pain.

I have been trying for 2 months to go off of my Methadone. I am going to start a series of TPI's this month to try and get my pain calmed down to where I can go off of it. I know it adds to my CFS. When my CFS came back on in Nov. after losing Bill, I also had to go up on my Methadone a couple of months later due to my pain getting worse. I noticed it made the CFS even worse.

It doesn't take large doses of meds to mess with me. I am only taking 5 mgs. of Methadone 3 to 4 times a day and I know other people take larger doeses of meds and can function, I can't do it on this small amount.

I am desperate to get off of the Methadone but every time it starts going out of my sytem my pain level is to the point that I get suicidal. I was wondering how the ones on here that says they went off of their meds managed to do it.

Thanks for the help.
