Re: [QUAD-L] neurontin alternative

[Dana Miller]

I have taken Methadone for 'several' years after my doc took me off of 
perkacet.  I take 2 pills 3 times a day along with half an Aquabid.  It is 
my understanding the aquabid 'boosts' the methadone just a little. (?)  I do 
not get a buzz like I did with perkacet--actually I just felt 'warmer' for a 
couple of hours.  I also take 2 ultracet 4 times a day, alternating it with 
the meth.  I feel no "high" from  either drug and if I stick pretty close to 
schedule, the pain is managed.   Sometimes I will take an extra dose of 
ultracet.

I have not tried going off the neurontin since starting the meth.  After the 
bad experiance with the gabitril, I am hesitant. 
take care,

Dana

I'm telling ya.  My pain specialist has me on 15mg of methadone a
day.  that's not very much as all.  Huge improvement.  It affects the
nerve endings to keep the pain away.  I was taking 20mg a day and
asked to go down.  I still have slight pain but nothing like before.

I am also enjoying being free of neurontin, gabatril, etc thru the use
of methadose (a better name to call it since methadone is always
connected to junkies.  I take 10 mg 2x/day and am pain free in many
respects, including neuro pain.
Does anybody get a buzz when taking the meth?  supposedly  it does  not
get one high
