hi, I have gone through your question. I am a practicing anaesthesiologist and pain consultant. I can understand your concern and the pain you must be experiencing. As you are taking these medicines since long time your doctor must have reduced the dose, because these drugs are known to have abuse potential. It doesn t mean he has forgotten about your problem. Methadone is a opioid analgesic ( pain killer). It can be available without any prescription from doctor. you have the option of other pain killers like paracetamol and tramadol for relief, which are safer and available off label. Don t worry, I am always there to help you.
