Yea better chance flying. So, I started methadone clinic and I'm better now than ever. pain is controlled, appetite is better, and I'm not chasing the pain with pills. Thank "God" for methadone 1 dose last 24hrs.

didn't know that it is impossible and might take up to a year for this drug to leave your body. didn't know that withdrawing even slowly could cause severe problems. think people need more education before prescribing it, so they can make an informed decision before using this medication.

One day I started getting spasms as if i were being shocked by electricity. The spasms became worse and about a week later I could not walk. I was bent almost at a 90 degree angle and the quad cane was at it's shrtest setting. Promary care put me on Vicodin, then Percocet. Nurologist sent me to pain management. He did another MRI with an injection for "Higher Definition" and gave me injection of cortosone whyich brough little relief. Finally he gave me 5mg methadone every 4 hours. It was increased to 10 mgrms and now i'm on 40 MGS daily and the pain doesn't cause me to cry out when it shoots down my leg or similar shooting pain. I can walk but carefully but the razor sharp pain is very dulled, thank God
