Chronic Pain
"Switched to Metadol {methadone hcl} from a rotation of morphine contin &amp; hydromorph contin.
The transition was without any complications or side effects.
From 100mg of morphine twice daily {or 3x18mg hydromorph daily} ...to 4x10mg daily of Metadol {methadone hcl}.
Almost a year has past &amp; no worries!
With 1 to 2 gms of  medicinal cannabis &amp; 40mg of Metadol daily, all of my pain and other side problems are now in the past.
No side effects except lethargy {a lot of time in bed but not having quality sleep; I suspect a lack of REM sleep}.
I&#039;m attending a chronic pain clinic. I&#039;m 65 years old with lots of youth experimentation with most rec. drugs.
With acceptance from the authorities, the Metadol cost is covered."
