Is It Safe To Use Hydrocodoneand Instead Of Methadone?
Hello. I m trying to stop using my Fentanyl patch. The pain mgmt gave me 10 mg methadone q 12 h hour withdrawals. Uh....I can t and don t want this methadone. It seems to make me worse. So, when the horrible sickness/anxiety hit the last two times, instead of methadone I took half of a hydrocodoneand.25 MG s of my za ax. What I want to know is if I can take my meloxicam and gabapentin while the methadone is still in my system? Thank you.
