"I take Methadone for chronic back pain caused by failed back surgery and for CRPS (Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome). My life would be useless if I can't control the pain. But my doctor is my family practice physician and doesn't seem to be able to stay with the dosage. He makes many mistakes when writing the prescription, and we only realize it after we get it filled. Then he refuses to make it right, leaving me to try to stretch the amounts as best we can. I'd change doctors, but I am afraid he will cause me to lose my ability to get it. He has even threatened to do something if I don't go along with the excuses he makes. I don't know what to do."

"I have read all the reviews of the methadone medication. The ones that really stand out to me are the people who are taking methadone and say how it saved their life/took all their pain away, and then will say how it rots your brain, or warn you to not take it, etc. If you have a doctor who knows what he is doing, has experience in providing this medication to patients, and YOU follow the doctor's directions about taking the methadone, there shouldn't be a problem at all. It will take your pain away, and you will have a life worth living. Now, not all medicines work the same for all people. There are exceptions to EVERYTHING... in other words, the medication just may not work for you due to your body chemistry. Then, go to your doctor and tell him/her the situation, and there is something out there that will help you. You and your doctor just have to find it, and sometimes it takes a while. Be patient, you will find it. Yes, I do take methadone. It works very well for me."

"When I was seeing a doctor, I would get 30 mg in the morning, 30 mg in the afternoon, and if I needed it, 30 mg at night. Between those times, I took 30 mg of instant-release morphine three times a day if needed. This was better than just the methadone. I had no pain at all with the methadone, and no morphine with it. I would say, on a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a 7 or 6, and that's the diskettes. I found that the liquid did not hold me as long, and within 8 hours, I was back in pain. At least my pain is tolerable now."

"I was referred to a pain clinic by my neurologist because of my ongoing chronic pain from a benign brain tumor, fibromyalgia, and a lot of other disorders. The neurologist at the pain clinic put me on 60 mg/day of methadone for pain management and Lorcet 10 mg for breakthrough pain, which I took for 20 years. I had mild pain, yes, medium pain sometimes, but nothing like before. Then, I got a call from the clinic saying that I could no longer be a patient there unless I could pay cash because Medicare stopped letting them treat their patients. I went into shock! I had an appointment scheduled in 5 days, but I would also have to pay cash for it. The clinic told me that they would refill my pain meds for 30 more days to give me time to find a new doctor or clinic. So, I thought crisis avoided, I can find a doctor in 30 days. I actually found a pain clinic! I left with no methadone, I went through the most awful torture, pain, and sickness. It's been 45+ days now, still sick! Just say no to it, please."

"On this for acute chronic pain and opiate addiction. This drug is amazing for pain, but it is also so dangerous and bad. Stay far away."

"I've taken Methadone for 20 months now for chronic pain due to fibromyalgia, neuralgia, back and neck pain, and migraines. This has helped me incredibly well. I've been able to function and gain my life back again! The only drawback is some weight gain...not a lot though...about 15 pounds over the time span, which is not a bad trade-off for crippling chronic pain. Although there is a stigma connected to methadone users, it's worth it to finally be nearly pain-free and be living again!"
