"I have several back and spine problems. I was in a car accident 34 years ago and was not expected to survive. The older I get, the worse the pain and more surgeries are needed. I've been on about every pain medication. After taking one for a while, they stop working. I've now been taking methadone for 15 years, and it still works. Of course, I still deal with pain, but methadone helps better than any other medication I have taken. It truly gives me my life back. I'm still taking it today and don't know how I'd survive without it."

"I have been on so many other pain meds that made me sick, and yes it was the one Dr. who cared about someone's pain that helped prescribe it to me. Methadone is great because it's the first thing I take and the last thing I take in a day, so I can have life without so much pain."

"I've been on 60 mg/day for the last 17 years after I developed multiple neuropathy issues in my extremities after chemotherapy treatment. I've tried everything else on the market that I can legally try. Methadone is the only thing that works and doesn't get me high as a kite or knock me out. I will warn anyone that this medication is very dangerous as far as CNS depression goes for the first two weeks of use. I was nodding off all over the place! The great thing is that this goes away after the first few weeks. After the initial period, I have noticed very few side effects. The ones that I have are the usual constipation that all narcotics produce. This medication will lower testosterone levels after long-term use. (Longer than a year.)"

"I’ve been on the medication Dolophine for 18-20 years now. My dosage is 20mg twice a day. While taking the methadone, I’m able to function normally and walk without much pain from severe nerve damage. Now my health care provider and numerous other pain management clinics are refusing to dispense it anymore! They keep informing me that my regular dose is “way too high” and dangerous to prescribe anymore! It’s interesting how those same physicians and health care providers didn’t mind handing it out for all that time! Now they want me off of it with no “reasonable” alternatives!"
