After being on high doses of percocet for two years, your body can't help but become physically addicted. So I was sick of feeling like a junkie on top of my severe pain issues. Methadone has given me my life back. There has been no side effects like on opiates and I take about 15 mg a day vs. 60-80mg a day of percocet.

This is amazing I even tried suboxone, but it didn't control my pain and didn't stop the physical craving for the drugs every few hours or so despite the need for it due to pain. This is the way to go if you want to manage your pain and not become dependent on opiates or kick the habit effortlessly.

I used to take two 20mg oxycontin and four 7.5/500 percocet a day and still was in so much pain that I could not do anything. If I cut the grass in my small yard I was down for three days in terrible pain.I could not sleep for days due to pain I now take three 5mg methadone tablets a day and allthough I am not completely pain free I can now do some chores without fear of day's of recovery.

No more cane and I am now holding down a full time job as well as part-time witress/bartender. Just watch yourself and take only whats perscribed and you find tremendous relief of pain! Much to my old doctors surprise I am back to living my life again. I have been taking methadone for almost 2 years with closely monitored perscriptions and with great success.

Comment:
I have used it for two purposes; 1) to get off of any and all narcotics I once used for pain but then began abusing, and 2) for severe pain from several accidents I have been in. It is incredibly effective for controlling my pain, and has relatively no side effects that I notice, with the exception in the beginning fatigue.
