A member asked:
I was on methadone for peripheral neurophty for 4 years. i stopped taking it for 6 days? is ok to start back taking methadone.

In general, yes: It should be OK to restart the medication. Methadone is a long-acting pain medication and is still in the system after 4 days. However, this could be different depending on the dose or other medications that the patient is taking. Would be best to have your pharmacist review.
