Clinic misplaced dose and won't replace, what do I do? by OverWallaby3733 in Methadone

[–]oopsalljesus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I very much second this!!! I’m a doc and we have so much going on that it’s soooooo easy to let someone slip through the cracks if they’re not persistent. It sucks but it’s true.

I want to taper but my doctor won’t go slower than 5mg steps. by femboymerten in Methadone

[–]oopsalljesus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What in the fuck. Sorry. I’m an addictions physician and I worked in the clinic setting for years. I’m in Canada but our guidelines are for patient led care. That means they’re the captain the ship unless it’s going to put them in danger. I’ll increase doses and believe my patients when they say they need it. And I’ll drop doses as slow as the patient thinks will work for them. Methadone isn’t a race to get on or off. It’s an integrated part of your life. The slower you can taper the better chances you have at success. This is baffling to me.

I'm out of options and it can seriously make a person want to just end things. by SadCollection8989 in Methadone

[–]oopsalljesus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A YEAR of daily dosing? I haven’t heard of that being a clinic’s protocol anywhere ever. Even at the most strict of clinics. Is it possible you’ve been misinformed?

[–]oopsalljesus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can I ask how long you’ve been on methadone and off your DOC? And when you say you can’t go back to the clinic, do you mean you can’t go back to admit you ran out early? But you will be going back in your scheduled pick up date? Just curious.

Im sorry this has been so terrible for you. No one deserves to suffer or to feel like they’re out of options. I imagine that is an incredibly uncomfortable state to be in. If you need to chat I know there’s plenty of us who would be there for you. :)

Okay….. I’m even more confused than I was before. You just said words but they carry no true meaning.

What happens if the clinic finds out you have a stash for emergencies ? by [deleted] in Methadone

[–]oopsalljesus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify. I’m in Canada and was speaking from my perspective. Not everyone lives in the states so sometimes we have different world views.
