mrsD,
I don't think we're in disagreement or at cross purposes on anything here. Pretty much everything you've mentioned is talked about to some degree (some more than others) in the links I posted, especially the concerns about methadone (as well as the risks of other opioids) in the last link. I agree that there are many doctors who are prescribing medications without understanding how to do so safely. We can't reach the doctors on this forum, however we can reach and inform patients with good information. Just about every time I log onto NT, I see posts by folks that reflect: 1. Inadequately addressed/treated pain, and/or 2. Misunderstanding/misinformation about pain medications. Sometimes these are outright questions, and sometimes they are comments (inferred questions) that something troubles them about appropriately prescribed & taken pain meds. I think we're very much on the same page! Doc
