I have fibromyalgia/chronic pain and have taken many other meds incl extremely high doses of hydrocodone with little result. From the 1st dose this made life bearable.

This med has received bad press due to ignorance and improper use. Any drug is dangerous when used improperly. This was a miracle drug for me. It gave me my life back. I have fibromyalgia/chronic pain and have taken many other meds incl extremely high doses of hydrocodone with little result. From the 1st dose this made life bearable. A year ago I was in a car wreck and broke both hips and my pelvis. They had me on so many IV pain meds they couldn't believe I was still rolling in pain. Finally they reverted back to just my pre accident dose of methadone and the pain was gone. It doesnt knock me out or make me goofy like others did. It just takes away the pain.

This drug gets such bad press because of those who abuse it and the stigma attached to it because of it's use in helping addicts. More widespread education of the public is needed in order for physicians to begin to prescribe it more. It has the potential to help so many people.

I have taken methadone for back pain for 4 years. I works great, it stops the pain and leaves my head clear as you don't feel doped up on it. Plus is is inexpensive compared to other pain medications. It is the best pain medication I have ever taken for my back.
