Help! I am on methadone 30 mg a day and Norco 10/325, 8 a day. Scary, but I am still in severe pain. Anyone?
My HMO is writing me off after years of ignoring a severely degenerating condition in my C spine. I am now a single mom with a 2 year old and am unable to work due to severe pain and progressive loss of use in my right arm. I am terrified but determined to do whatever I can to get better. These medications seem like an insane combo and amount to me. I have never taken any narcotics until the last year. They say surgery is not an option. Anyone out there have similar experience or ideas?

Methadone and heroin and driving license?
I have drug addicted friend. He's on methadone but he's still taking heroin sometimes. Because of the medicine and the drugs for him is really hard to concentrate, he forgets really easy, he doesn't really think clear. Sometimes he looks totally lost even when he's trying to walk to somewhere. The medical institution he goes to take the methadone know he's still take heroin and in what kind of states he gets sometimes. The thing is he still has his driving license. Is that normal? I mean, i think it's dangerous for him and other people on the road to let him drive. Fortunately nothing has happened while he's driving, but still, isn't it any legal prohibition for people in that situation to have driving license?
