Will your pain management Dr GP follow your surgeons recommendation to put you on methadone if He has you taking 6 Hydrocodone 10s a day now?
Well, it depends. Methadone is prescribed for pain management but it depends on what your looking to do. If you are trying to get off of opiates then I doubt he would recommend Methadone for 6 Vicodins a day because that is not that bad of an opiate habit and methadone is alot stronger than Vicodin so there would be no point in going from Vicodin to methadone if your trying to get off opiates. But if you are looking to get better pain management because the 6 Vicodin 10mg's are not enough or are not working, than yes your doctor may follow your surgeons recommendation. From all the people I know who take methadone for pain management, they all love it because they can function more and do not get as "high" and as tired, but it really works well for pain.
