I have MS, and also have neuropathic pain that might be from that, or who knows, maybe it's a whole 'nother flower in my garden. Anyway, I've tried so many meds that are supposed to help (e.g. Gabapentin, Lyrica, Cymbalta, countless antidepressants, and other anti-seizures) that I'm just fed up with that route. At least four pain management doctors have suggested Methadone over the years, and I've always declined. But today, the fifth brought it up, and I decided to give it a try.(maybe)
So here's what I wasn't able to get a clear answer about
:
Why do they want me to take it every day on a schedule? Why can't I take it as needed like any other narcotic?
Would a drug test such as an employer would use flag it? (I have a desk job that in no way could put anyone's safety at risk, but as you know, companies do it anyway.)
Thanks to anyone who can answer these.
