Chronic Pain
"Started on Methadone in the hospital after 2nd Laminectomy &amp; fusion L-4 to S-1. I am on 30mgs 4 times a day (120mg in 24 hrs) I noticed an immediate weight gain of 20lbs (that I can&#039;t get rid of) and complete cessation of my menses! I was NOT warned of these side effects! The extra weight adds to my back pain &amp; depression.  I just don&#039;t know what to do! I want off of this, but I have failed other medications! I just want my body back (20 lbs lighter) AND help with my pain!"
