Chronic Pain
"I am prescribed 1-2 (10mg) tabs of Methadone, up to 6 times every 24 hours. On the &quot;good&quot; days, I take a lower dose (like 3 (10mg) tabs in 24 hours) with pretty much complete relief &amp; on the &quot;worst&quot; of days, the max dose (12 (10mg) tabs in 24 hours) makes doing the everyday &quot;necessities&quot; actually possible. The biggest negative I&#039;ve experienced while on this medicine, is a MAJOR WEIGHT GAIN of around 1-2 lbs a WEEK (So like 40lbs in 6 months, before I started working out &amp; dieting to compensate)! Also, this medication has COMPLETELY STOPPED my menstrual cycle! However with these downsides, I&#039;d still strongly suggest this medicine for those with chronic severe back pain!"
