I'm currently on Methadone for chronic pain in back, from a severe injury. I'm seeing a pain specialist, and he has tried everything under the sun. I've been seeing him for almost 3years now. Finally, he has me on Methadone pills, 10mg. per pill. I'm advised to take 100mgs a day, in even doses (20mgs 5x per day) well, I did that for about a year...It doesn't seem to help me. My pain doctor will not give me anymore than the 100mgs a day, he does from time to time give me Oxycodone to take in between. My question is, why can't he give me a higher dosage than 100mgs a day? Since I have been on them for so long. Has anyone been on methadone for a long period of time taking more than 100mgs a day? Just unable to bare the pain, need something...open to suggestions.
