Don’t take more than the prescribe dosages of your medicine. The drugs you’ve listed all have an effect on your nervous system (and therefore your breathing) and you could easily overdose.

Your insomnia is probably related to your past drug addiction and your need to see your doctor to have your medicines adjusted. My guess is that your nervous system is still used to be revved up by the speed and has not yet returned to normal. Your doctor may be able to give you something else.    Read more...

Question by James: I need a medical question answered fast!?
I’ve been taking 6 tablets of 10 mg. percocets a day for 2 years. (prescribed by my pain doctor). I moved to another state and I am still in the process of finding another doctor to prescribe my medicines. I did find a doctor here that would only prescribe me 90 10 mg. tablets of methadone a monnth. I had them filled, but never took any. However, I ran out of my percocet completely, I was trying to take it sparingly, but have finally ran out. I started to go through withdrawal symptoms, and still could not find another doctor. Someone told me to have a few drinks everyday, and that would help the withdrawals. Wrong!! Anyway, my question is this. I had a bottle of wine this morning and decided to go ahead and take 3 of the methadone tablets. I thought they were 5mg, and then remembered they were 10mg. Now I’m afraid I’m going to overdose on taking the 30mg at once with alcohol in my system. I just ran out of my percocet 3 days ago, and am used to taking 60mg. a day. Does anyone know or been through this same thing? Please serious answers only, I feel bad enough. This state is the worst state to find pain management and I’ve been trying. No doctor wants to take cash, and looks like they are already overloaded with patients as well. Thank you for your answers in advance.    Read more...

Question by Carlos: Can my doctor get in trouble?
If I intentionally overdose on my methadone (to kill myself), can my methadone doctor get in any trouble? I have been VERY careful not to let on to anybody (ESPECIALLY my doctor or caseworker) that I’m planning to die — obviously they would stop me. But, I don’t want him to get in any trouble if I go through with it.

Of course if you ODed on methadone they’d investigate wondering where you got it from – looking for flaws in the system or if the doctor over-prescribed. Even if the doctor isn’t fingered for any wrong-doing [they are supposed to watch you take it are they not?] you are making them responsible eg the enabler of your death which isn’t overly cool when all he’s really trying to do is help. The last thing he’d want on his conscience for the rest of his life is your death, that’s not why doctors go into practice.    Read more...
