If you have break through pain on methadone what else can you use to help the break through?
Lots of option for breakthrough pain. Methadone is used as a long acting time released narcotic. Pain management clinics will depending on the the patient and the condition often offer a shorter acting pain relief narcotic for break through. Examples could include, norco, vicodin, Oxycontin, dilaudid, morphine in various strengths depending on the dosage of methadone and how many tabs a day are being taken. Also depending on the dosage of Methadone the strength may be increased or shorther period between doses could be an option. All depends on how long a person has be taking Methadone and what the break through pain level are on a scale of 1-10. Hope this helps. I feel your pain.

Can you take 5 mg oxycodone for breakthrough pain while taking methadone?
Methadone is a similar opiate derivative like Oxy, but not as strong (at least from my viewpoint).Neither drug is a Chronic Pain drug - both Oxycodone and Methadone are Acute Pain meds, and only last 6 hours. Chronic pain meds are OxyContin and Duragesic. OxyContin lasts 12 hours, Duragesic up to 72 hours. Those are used for primary, and the other 2 for breakthrough pain.For example, I use 1 100mcg Duragesic patch every 48 hours, and use Percocet 10/325's for breakthrough (about 150/120 per month).If you're only using acute meds and have chronic pain, then you need to start using a Pain Diary to track your pain so you can show your doctor that you need a chronic med. If your doctor isn't listening, time to find another one.TSD -RAVEN-Category Supervisor----I would talk to my doctor and let him no that you are having break through pain. Most pain clinic is prescribe another pain medication with methadone for break through pain. I would not stop taking methadone with out first talking to my doctor.
How does Fentanyl and methadone mix?
YOU cannot use tramadol in combination with methadone. It is an opiate antagonist which if you are taking methadone can send you into instant severe withdrawl. I do not have the answer for methadone and fentanyl combination but do not use the tramadol methadone combination. If you do or have you are in for a very very scary experience. There are many pain meds you cannot mix with methadone. Take it from a life long methadone patient who has experienced what it is like to mix an opiate antagonist with methadone........Do not try it............................
