"This has been the best pain medication I have found to relieve my back and neck pain. It has been the hardest to get prescribed. I do not understand why other than the stigma it has for the maintenance use for heroin addicts. Unlike other pain medicines, it does not get me high, and it lasts more than a day, and I can get by on less than ten mg a day."

"This medication gave me my life back, after being on most every type of other opioid medication, and I mean everyone. I have many minor/major health problems related to chronic pain, neuropathy, and arthritis, barely able to walk. Within three months of intense physical therapy and 30 mg Q12hrs (once morning, once before bed), I have been able to work, walk with a limp but without a cane, no ups and downs like the fentanyl patches I had prescribed for a year, Roxicodone, hydromorphone, oxymorphone IR and ER, and many more opioids that seemed to give the euphoria that, of course, most people would become either physically dependent or develop an addiction disorder, which I suffered from both. After I spoke with my doctor, I was able to get on Methadone."

"I have been on this medicine for 3 years for pain relief for many problems. I take 10 mg 3 times a day, and I would suggest nothing else. I have been on other narcotics that have done nothing for me and got me all jazzed. This medicine does nothing like that. Methadone keeps you level-headed and does not have any side effects."

"I had tried many, if not every pain med known to man. Hardware in my neck due to osteomyelitis. Excruciating nerve pain and damage due to diabetes and venous insufficiency, COPD, etc. Like I mentioned, I've tried everything, and the methadone seemed to help without the side effects. I was on over 100 mg for quite a while, which is why anything I tried for breakthrough pain was blocked by the methadone. I had spoken to my pain specialist about it, and I am taking a giant southbound leap to half of what I've been taking for 2 weeks and see what happens, and yes, I am 'terrified.' Wish me luck, and I'll let you know about my endeavors."

"Used lots of nonsteroidal drugs to fight back and leg pain. None of them seemed to work anymore. Doctor put me on Dolophine 20 mg 3x a day. It gave me my life back. I was at the point that I could not get out of bed in the morning."

"Methadone is my lifesaver. I have had back pain associated with nerve damage, degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, bursitis, and some other minor/major problems here and there. I was taking ten to twelve Percocets a day. I heard about clinics that give doses of methadone daily. I went, and now I'm happy to get my methadone daily. I take nothing else and couldn't be happier. Methadone works the best for pain, and it's long-acting, and I take it for opiate addiction as well. I'm on 50 mg, and it just works great."

"I have been taking methadone for about a year now. I was on OxyContin for way too long, and although the transition was a bit difficult, I made it through. I take between 3 and 5 10 mg tabs a day, and I do have relief from chronic back pain, but I do feel as if I need more, as it keeps feeling as if it gets less and less effective. Might have to up the dosage."

"Retired, age 46, on medical disability, stage 3 heart condition. After several years of not working, I had issues with back pain. I asked my M.D. for help, I received OxyContin, very costly at $1400 for 30 day's dosage with time. So cost would become an issue, but the problem with OxyContin is that it affects all phases of your life in a negative way. I decided to go to a Pain Management Clinic. There I found hordes of people there, long waiting times (4 to 5 hrs), and people who could barely walk. I did receive methadone, and it worked well. My issue now is that I want to reduce dosage in conjunction with medical marijuana and a TENS unit. They say I can't (Ohio dispensaries not set-up until 2018). By the way, it's not the same Pain Management Clinic."
