Hi Kathy,
I was on Methadone for over 5 years and just got off of it all together about 8 months ago. I do keep it around though for flareups. I like it. I like you tried everything going and got sick on all of it.
If the dosage is started low and work up on it, I think it's better that way. It is the only med that I found that knocks the pain completely while it's in the system. I also use Lidocaine patches along with it at times or just by themsleves. They help some too.
Read up on all of the side effects of any meds you are recommended before you go in and ask for them so you will know which ones you may not want to ask for.
Good luck,
Ada
