I was on Methadone for over 5 years and still keep it around for my worst days. I was able to get off of everything about 5 months ago.

I tried everything going and the side effects were just too much for me. When we found that I could take Methadone with very little problems my Dr. was on Cloud 9. He thought we'd never find anything that I could take or that would help the pain.

I was able to stay on a lower dosage. I took 2 1/2 mgs. Every once in awhile I had to take 5mg's but I most stayed with the low dosage.

I know everyone can't take it, but I carry some in my purse and have it at home and it does knock the pain for me.
