"I have been challenged with pain management as a result of acute reflex sympathetic dystrophy for 5 years now. Last year, I had a spinal cord stimulator implanted, and it is working wonders. Thank you, Boston Scientific Neuromodulation. I've weaned off the need for Fentanyl and Oxycodone, and now manage the pain very well with methadone. Its long-acting actions are outstanding, and it doesn't leave me feeling high, as so many of the other opiates do. Overall, an excellent choice by my pain docs!"

"I have lupus and sciatica and have tried every pain medicine that is available. Methadone has changed my life. I am able to do way more than lay in the bed all day in pain. I am not pain-free, but it is tolerable for once, and that is a huge blessing!"

"I was tried on numerous medications for my chronic pain. When I took my first dose of methadone, I was 'nearly' pain-free for half the day, and the dose doesn't need to be increased as often as it did on other drugs such as Oxycontin. For breakthrough pain, I only need an anti-inflammatory or another mild narcotic such as Percocet, and only rarely. I think this is a great drug for pain!"
