Hi folks,
A dear friend in my support group is losing her medical insurance, and will no longer be able to afford the oxycontin she has depended on for several years. Needless to say, she's pretty freaked out about the whole situation. She believes her only viable (affordable) alternative is methadone. She is currently on a dosage of 240-280 mg. oxycontin/day (depending on breakthrough).
I have provided her with everything I have, but I want her to know as much as possible in order to make an informed decision, be safe, and have effective pain control. Thanks folks, Doc
