Pain
"I was very skeptical when my lifelong dr retired, and my new doctor wanted to switch me from MS Contin to Methadone, for my LA pain med. I had never heard anything either way about methadone as far as pain, it is just associated with opiate detox, and replacement therapy, and I did not like the thought of being prescribed it. To my great surprise, the 10mg four times a day, worked miracles in my life, with very little, to no noticeable side effects. Really helped the pain, didn&#039;t make me feel doped up or itchy. He&#039;s since sent me to a pain specialist, I&#039;m now on the &quot;high powered&quot; stuff e.g. Opana ER, doesn&#039;t really help much. On 40mgs TID. Don&#039;t know what the hype is over the Opana, doesn&#039;t work that great for me, and for relieving my pain"
