Jay - methadone is an excellent pain medicine despite it's reputation as being good only as a treatment for getting off heroine. I'm glad it works for you and wonder just how bad you need all that Neurontin.
I don't know what kind of problem you had with the Fentanyl patches - they work wonders for me. I started on 1-9-02 at the 50 strength - then to 75 and on to 100 strength on 11-18-02 and my pain went from a 9+ down to 2 to 4. I've been using these patches now for over 6 years and right now am using 125 strength changing them every 48 hours since 4-27-07.
I've had PN for 21 years come December and I'm 76 years old. I will continue using this medication till I die or till something better comes along. I take NOTHING else for PN and I'm getting around pretty good with just a cane and enjoying life and I still drive without incident. I also walk just about every day but I'm down to a mile or so instead of the 10 miles I use to run! But, hey, I'm still verticle!!!
