Whats the difference between liquid methadone for withdrawel & pill form for pain management?
Hello there. I would like to tell you how sorry I am that you are in so much pain. I also take Methadone for pain and was switched to it after oxycontin no longer helped. I take such high doses that they thought the liquid might be better for me. That stuff tasted so gross that I could not handle it so they put me back on the pills. This leads me to believe that there is not alot of difference between the pills and the liquid form. (other than the taste!) I take ten mgs tablets, 3 of them, twice a day. So that is 30mgs twice a day. I do know that you can not compare mgs of one medication directly to another. In other words 4 mgs of one medication might be stronger than 20 mgs of another. It depends on the drug. Just because you needed 60 mgs of oxycontin does not mean that you would need that much methadone. I have been on every pain medication that there is including plain old morphine and the methadone works best for me. I really hope that you can resolve your problem. I might mentio
