"i was admitted to the hospital with a severe headache and stiff neck. i was given demerol on one occasion it didn&#039;t really help, and upon my next visit for the same headache 3 and a half weeks later i was given tordol for my pain and zofran for nausea...it sure didn&#039;t help. so i was put into a room where i asked for some pain medication and the nurse told me i could get nubain for my pain. i had never had it before to the best of my knowledge..but get this.. the doctor that admitted me saw in my chart that i had taken methadone in the past..he asked me do you still take methadone?? i said yes every day. the nurse gave me the nubain and i had instant withdrawals. one week later i&#039;m still sick with a headache."
