You just started methadone for chronic pain and you also started a new job you feel very drowsy on the methadone what would be an alternative?
Hydrocodone works well. But for cronic pain you might build a tolerance to it quickly and it wont work as well, plus hydrocodone is very short acting, 4-6 hrs, unlike methadone that shoud last up to 12 hrs. If you continue to take methadone the euphoric, drowsy side effect should subside as you build a tolerance to it but the pain relief shouldent change. To offer a sutible alternative i would need more information on what kind of cronic pain you have...like for migraines you could try somthing like imitrex, ect. Also.... You may need your dosage changed, I was once on it and was a zombie, they adjusted my dose and i was back to normal, also I prefer methadone because there are little to no sideaffects. I don't feel stoned, and that's a big plus!! If you are drowsy on methadone, you are on too high of a dose. Have it adjusted ASAP. Do not get into the pills because they are not as easy to control. Best of luck to you.
