I feel like the luckiest person on the planet! I have had chronic pain for over 30 years from fibromyalgia and osteoarthitis. My doctor knew me before I got sick so he knew that I was not a maiingerer and has helped me through most of this time.

AFTER TRYING OTHER PAIN RELIEVERS AND FINDING LITTLE RELIEVE,I WAS INTRODUCED TO METHADONE THROUGH A NURSE WHO TREATS ARTHRITIS PATIENTS . THE EFFECTS WERE IMMEDICATE AND AFTER A MONTH OF SUCESS WITH METHADONE I ASKED A DOCTOR TO RENEW THE PRESCRIPTION AND WAS TURNED DOWN. MORE INFORMATION MUST BE AVAILABLE TO GENERAL PRACTIONERS SO WE ARE ACCESSIBLE TO THIS NEW METHOD OF PAIN RELIEF.

This medication works great for my chronic pain from Endometriosis and the 7 surgeries I've had to undergo. Without this medicine, I would not be able to have any life outside of my home...now I can work, play; have my life back!

It has really worked well for me without the side effects of the oxycontin as far as that funny feeling when you first start taking it.

It helped me kick, and then stay clean, so I will always be a believer in methadone.
