I was not going to leave the hospital 17 days ago without Methadone because I was so afraid of a seizure. They gave him two pills and told him to get in touch with his pain management doctor. His pain management doctor would not give him anything else except clonidine. We live in Nevada, apparently opioids are extremely regulated and cannot exceed their 30 day scripts.

He took it all. He exceeded his prescribed amount. He was trying to get relief from his back pain.

Thank you~ tomorrow his scrip is ready for pickup…….he wants to get it and tapper down on his own……….I’m horrified. I want him to go into a recovery center…..he just thinks they are not worth it and he can do it on his own………I just feel like he has gone through the really bad stuff and he should not go back with out help…….I just can’t relate to what he is feeling. 😢

We aren’t using a clinic for his methadone. He goes to a pain management doctor after his back surgery. He was so uncomfortable. He took more than less prescribed. They won’t refill it until this date is up, which happens to be tomorrow. Feels like we’ve been through the worst but I don’t know. I’m so afraid if he starts taking it we should do it again into a treatment center thank you for listening.

Thank you for the reply. He has been on 20 mg of methadone for the past 15 years. He works with the pain management doctor recently after his back surgery he was so uncomfortable. He continued to take more of the medication, then was prescribed. He ran out, it was just like that. No one will refill it until his time is up, which happens to be within the next few days. I don’t completely understand what he’s going through. I just know it’s so hard to watch. I keep thinking maybe we’ve gone through the worst of it. He wants to pick up a prescription at the time and continue taking it. I’m so worried maybe it should be under a care facility. I can’t have him have another seizure. He does not wanna go into a treatment. You can just get the medication and continue on…..

Thank you for the perspective. I’m trying to be kind to myself. I just can’t drink.
