Methadone

I am angry at Lyles doctor.  He had an appointment and the doctor did a UA, Lyle said he wouldnt have methadone in his system because he didnt like it. Lyle wanted Loratab for his pain management. The doc said that had too much tylenol and it would hurt his liver. So the doc did a UA, Lyle had no methadone in his system. The doctor doubled his methadone prescription, said if that didnt work he'd double it again...

Lyle was dead 3 days later.

 

Can anyone tell me more about methadone? Why isnt this illegal? I know alot of people die in their sleep when on this drug, so why isnt it only used in a hospital setting??

All I can say is that my daughter died from meth poisoning too.  I was told by a pathologist that read my daughter's autopsy report she did not suffer.  She simply went to sleep.  That is the only comforting news I have received.  I know nothing about methadone.  I am so sorry for the loss of your brother. Take care.

"Kali I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal. Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
