I have been thinking about taking opioids for depression for a long time, and I now have a doctor who will let me try opioids (I think). I may try Methadone because it is cheap, and it requires only one dose per day, and easy to administer. Oxycontin is another one I am considering since it is a time-release medication and has a long half-life. What would Methadone’s advantages be over Oxycontin? Oxycontin is very expensive, and I would rather not use it if Methadone is nearly as good as Oxycontin.Another concern I have about taking opioids is that if I need to control pain sometime with opioids, I may not be able to get good pain control because I am already tolerant to such a high dose of opioids.
Your comments, please.
