I am on Methadone. A lot of people can't take it but I believe that the Drs. tend to start people out on too high of a dosage of a lot of meds such as Methadone.

I raised my dosage last week due to my bladder problems. Most people would say it's not enough to do anything but believe me, it does the job. The minute I let it get out of my system, I am a mess with pain.

It has problems just like some of the other meds such as Oxycontin and Moraphine but you have to try them to know how you are going to do on it.

I noticed in that story about Paula Abdul, the firemen was on Methadone. At this point, I have no side effects from the Methadone. IF I got way higher on the dosage, yes I might, but again that is to be said of any Narcotic you take.

Others will come on here with their ideals of meds. Then you will have more of a selection to ask about. I am glad that I only have to take the Methadone. I don't want to be on too many meds mainly because my stomach won't let me.

I sure hope things start getting better for you soon.
