User Reviews for methadone oral

methadone is the best pain med. that i have tryed. it's easy on the stomace because it has no aspran or ibprofan in it. i think it is very safe to take only if you take it just like your doc. sayes. if you abuse it you will have very bad withdraws. buy if you need it. it will work better than any pain meds. you will try.

FINALLY!!! I FOUND A MEDICATION THAT CONTROLS MY SEVERE BACK PAIN. I WAS HAVING SOME BREATHING PROBLEMS AND HAD TO CUT BACK MY DOSAGE BUT IT STILL CONTROLS MY PAIN !!! I WAS LIVING IN PAIN CONSTANTLY AND HAD NO LIFE AT ALL UNTIL I STARTED TAKING METHADONE. THERE IS STILL A STIGMA ATTACHED TO THIS DRUG NAME. PEOPLE THINK I AM ADDICTED TO HEROIN AND AM TRYING TO GET OFF OF IT. THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW THAT METHADONE IS A PAIN MEDICATION!

I have dealt with the kind of pain that not alot of people even doctors understand and even my family thought that i was just drug addicted after nine operations after a surgeon couldn't do his job right finally i found a doctor that prescribed methadone it has been a lifesaver. i successfully had two children while taking it and neither were addicted at birth. My family still doesn't understand the methadone usage for me because of the lack of information out there they believe that only "junkies" use methadone. I wish there was more information that was widely out there to dispel this myth. to many including me this has been the only way to have even a semblance of normalcy in their lives and even allows me to go and enjoy my two little boys that before would have been impossibleRead More Read Less

i use this medication for chronic back pain and it has helped me tremendously.it is easy to take and it works great. my pain level went from a 12 to a level of 5 with no side effects.

I take this med for severe pain control. I have been on the same dosage for 15 months and now need to have the 1st adjustment. It works, but don't expect an euphoria feeling from it, it is not meant for that, it is meant for long term serious pain control.

have installed flooring for 35 years. have back pain that nothing could touch. worried about my liver, so methadone was it. i just worry about how people percieve this medication. it is wonderful for long lasting pain relief. couldn't work and support myself without it!! wish the drs. would help their patients more, instead of scaring them. ask your dr. what the other pain killers are doing to your liver!

The medicene has been a wish come through with the relief of pain due to my condition,which is adhesive arachnoiditis.

i have rsds and the docs didnt want me on opoids for such a long term well thanks guys i lost my job as i couldnt sit or stand due to pain and couldnt concentrate my thought is this is a placebo drug and doctors have a right to treat people with severe pain and not like drug addicts because we have kids and families to support as well and deserve the chance to live a normal life also no one has the right to take that away or condemn one for taking opoids shame on the medical industry and there fear of the government last time i checked no one busting people for the dea was a doctor or chemist or any scietific fieldRead More Read Less

For back pain there is nothing better. The pain I have is a very deep ache and burning.

this drug gave me my life back. there are many negative conotations to being on a methadone program. However I have known many herion/opiate addicts, the majority of the ones who have beaten the habit did so with the aid of methadone. I came from a great, educated family I just got caught up in the suburban herion craze of the 1990s. clean for 7 years

Works farely well for pain relief, Does not leave me tired or lethargic like other opiates did.

This drug helped me get off prescription drugs, but now I am very dependant on methadone that is the only down side of this medicine. Also if you use this med just make sure you use it only as prescribed....

my sister is starting to withdraw from this medication what should I expect?

I injured my back in 1986. My Dr. told me I had to be able to walk 2 miles before I could go back to work. I found if I took my Fiorinal w/cod I could walk. Also made me feel good. I became addicted. I was stealing prescription pads and writing my own Rx's. Did this for years. I took drugs & walked 10-20 miles a day to lose weight. Ended up in rehab twice. I still need pain meds for continuing back pain. About 5 years ago I was put on Methadone. My pain is mostly under control and I have not abused any other opiates for 5 years. I wish more doctors would put chronic pain patients on Methadone. I didn't end up in jail which I know I would have.Read More Read Less

Seven years ago, I was diagnosed with a rare disease in my spinal chord that causes chronic pain, among other symptoms. The first year was hell until I was referred to a pain clinic that prescribed Methadone. It has worked wonders in controlling my pain, although I do have to take Vicadin with it for breakthrough pain, and periodically my dosage must be increased in order to maintain the same level of pain relief. Overall, I am very pleased with this medication.

I have been taking Methadone for many years, this drug has allowed me to have a normal life and a job.Many people think this is a bad drug but if taken as prescribed and don't use other drugs it is very effective. There is little doubt in my mind that if I wouldn't have gotten on this maintenance program I would be dead or in prison. As a result of taking this drug I have not used any other drugs for over 25 years. It may not be the answer for everyone but is quite effective for many like me.

it took awhile to ease my pain but lasted a very long time. I am very satisfied with the way it works.

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.Read More Read Less
