A member asked:

This is for a pain doctor with methadone authority im on 110mls a day and i have been clean long weekly caries i fused to discs in my back demerol (meperidine hydrochloride) 200?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

complicated issue: Demerol, (meperidine hydrochloride) however much it may be helping you, is a terrible drug with awful side effects, especially in higher doses. Many authorities, myself included, believe it should be off the market. Finding a pain physician who will ignore your addiction history (however long in the past) and prescribe Methadone is taking some serious risks. Very few pain specialists prescribe demerol- get a 2nd opinion.
