User Reviews for methadone oral

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.

I have acute degenerative disk disease well before my time. Surgery was not a option and excercise did not help. Low dose methadone has brought me back to life. 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.Read More Read Less

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.

Methadone maintenance treatment saved my life. It doesn't taste the best in its liquid form, but its truly a lifesaver for people who suffer from opioid dependency and have unsuccessfully tried to detox and maintain sobriety several times.

without this i don't know where i'd be.i thank lord for helping me through the hardest time in my life.i have been clean now for 3 and a half years!and still going strong.

TAKE 2 EVERY DAY, MORNING IS FINE BUT IT MEANS I CAN'T DRIVE THE REST OF THE DAY, EVENING IS OK BUT IT WIRES ME INSTEAD OF MAKING ME GO TO SLEEP. USING FOR A RUPTURED DISC THAT CAN'T BE OPERATED ON. I'M SURE ONCE I GET USED TO THIS NEW DRUG, I WILL BE ABLE TO FUNCTION MORE NORMALLY. BUT AT THE SAME TIME SCARED AS ALL CAN BE, MORE EDUCATION NEEDS TO BE OUT THERE SO PEOPLE DON'T THINK I'M A HEROIN ADDICT.

Methadone has saved my life. I am only 22 yrs old and have back problems. When my doctors gave me pain killers, I became addicted. When I lost my insurance I could afford to see my doctor anymore, and wasnt able to get my prescriptions. Long story short, I went out looking for them on the street and became addicted to oxycontin and herion. That ruined my life. Methadone has given me my life back and helped me to deal with my back pain as well. If anyone who is in trouble and doesnt know weather methadone is right for them, or hear people say its trading one drug for another they are wrong. SweetGrl5298 AIM. If advice is ever really needed, I can help..or find someone who can.Read More Read Less

I have been in cronic pain for a serious back injury for 20 years. I've been on methadone for the last 5 years, and it has help me deal with my pain many times over. I've been on many different pain medications, and methadone has proven the most cost effective and pain reliever. I hope this forum will help someone who is dealing with a similer problem.

It has helped with my addiction and it has been a definate life saver.

going on the methadone program saved my life. It has helped me quit using heroin and given back parts of my life I thought were gone forever.

I have been taking methadone for several years now and it has been a life saver for me. My husband also takes methadone and it is the only med that has made both our lives worth living. Our quality of living has improved so that I can work full time. My husband is unable to work but al least he can function as a human being. Many Dr don't understand or approve of methadone but keep looking for a Dr that does. Methadone I found also works for IBS. I use to suffer daily bouts and now I only have 1 to 2 days out of the month that I suffer. Methadone has been a wonder drug for myself and my husband.Read More Read Less

i have a 3.5 yr old daughter whom i had while being on methadone and she had no withdrawl symptoms and came right home, i am currently 9months pregnant and am still on methadone and hope to have the same results

i have been on methadone for 5 yrs and haven't used herion in 4 yrs or any drug in 3 yrs. i am a productive citizen and parent and wife! it has changed my life for the better a thousand times over!!!!

I have found that taken methadone over any other medication for pain has been a blessing. I still have to deal with pain but at a level I can tolerate instead of constant pain. I take less of this then I would have had to take of any other pain meds. I take up to 15 mgs a day and have for over 31 months chronic lower back-pain and there are days the pain causes me to not be able to walk or stand so having this to help ease the pain is a Blessing. I really hate when I see a new Doctor and they ask if I am a drug-addict or an alcoholic all because I take methadone for pain, they should think before saying something to insulting a person that lives with chronic pain daily. You would think that a doctor would know what else this is used for besides Heroin users or drug-addicts Read More Read Less
