Yes that is what the started me on because I was on that amount of Methadone when they transferred me to the Hydromorphone. So no I will go back to Methadone at the same rate in September. I called and found out today instead of waiting for them to call. I seemed to have less burning then. I also have been on 15 mg of oxycodone three times a day. That is what helped me get by the best. But with the Methadone. I could get by with taking two a day. Worried more about the constipation and tiredness along with stomach upset issues but the burning from the waste down and the flushing wipes me out at times with a mood. Oxycodone only last six hours and I am back to fire again. Only allowed to take oxycodone every eight hours. None of this did my colon any good either. Lot of things they do not tell ya before you get into all of this. I tell everyone take care of your back and don’t ever have back surgery because 99% of them don’t last or even work. Now I’m 70 and now they want to cut me again. Really don’t want to leave my wife alone now in this world knowing it will take at least a year if and a big if -if it works out. LOL Anything else I can say I will be glad to reply. Thanks again. Jeff
