Because they’ve stopped making generic oxycontin, I will be switching to methadone for pain management. I’ve done quite a bit of research and learned it is an effective pain reliever. My concern is, will I experience oxy withdrawal? I understand it is rather painful and want to be prepared. My doctor assures me there will be no discomfort but I’m still afraid. I am uncomfortable about taking methadone at all but because of 4 back surgeries. the first being a botched job, I have debilitating back pain that requires relief. Will I experience withdrawal during this transition? I am aware of all the risks with taking this drug and treat my instructions with the utmost respect. Can anyone out there tell me what to expect during the switch?
