The reason I went off of the Methadone is that I am doing much better. My RSD is pretty much in remission. My problem is everything else I'm dealing with. I go back into PT Monday for the TOS, Fibro, back, and neck problems.

As far as it helping. I loved it. I was able to take a low dose of it. I was on it for about 6 years. I could take it and feel like doing the things I needed to do because it did help with the pain a lot. When I went off of it, I had no problems. I actually went off of it cold turkey and was fine.

The only thing I found is it caused some sweating but I was already doing that anyway. I was also going through menopause.

I keep it on hand so if my RSD does peep out due to the weather. The barometer change really gets to me. The hot weather gets to me too. Sometimes my pain is worse in hot weather.

You can overdose and die with most any meds. A person has to have cronic pain to understand it and why a person takes meds, I believe.
