5 | Opioid addiction | Increased sweating, daytime sleepiness. | This drug saved my life. MAT (Medication Assisted Treatment) is the gold-standard and only effective treatment for OUD (Opioid Use Disorder). My cravings are literally gone. Side effects are mild. I don't intend to ever go off of it. The side effects are a VERY small price to pay for relief from active opioid addiction/use. Just wonderful. I highly recommend it if you are struggling with opioid addiction. Don't be scared by the bad stories, it's almost all people bitter because they could not/would not comply with treatment and thus had to detox off of it. If you follow the rules, you will be fine. | M | 37 | 14 days 60 MG 1X day | 8/22/2019 | 5 | opiate addiction | constipation. | kills anxiety, all! of it. was absolute cure, for absolutely everything!- for me. will be very addictive, just like all opiates. wish i could be on this stuff for my whole life.., but, alas that just isn't possible. cures heroin addiction, and all known worries in life. | M | 48 | 1 years 50 1X day | 11/1/2017 | 5 | Opiate Addiction | Constipation / Weight Loss | There is just to much negative shot said about this drug. I've been on maintenance 2 other times and I had people fill my head with all the negatives we have all heard regarding methadone and each time I detoxed off I was back abusing and running the streets. I am now back on working full time paying bills spending time with my children and staying out of jail. I will be on this for the rest of my life. For me it's a godsend. If you are a diabetic and to survive you need to take a shot a day. You will do it no questions asked. Well in order for me to stay clean with no urges to get high with in return allows me to live a normal life I take my daily methadone dose. It's a no brainer. And it also takes aasy back pain I don't even have to think about pain medication on top of my maintenance dose. Kills 2 birds with one stone as they say… | M | 37 | 1 years 120mg's | 8/29/2017 | 5 | Methadone | Being off has been a nightmare. Don't think people understand the out come off this drug.they left me on this drug for 16 years with out other ways. Find out about N/A from N/a went detox been off this fucking devil drug for 7 months now and finding out about my body drs don't even no what's wrong they just think I'm trying to get pain killers. Once they methadone. In so much pain still I wish I never got on it. They r so quick to hand those drugs out. Pls get strong and find other ways I wished I did!!!!!!!!!! | F | 37 | 10 years 30 mg 60 m | 2/18/2017 | 5 | Chronic Back Pain | Only side effect I have is constipation. But my pain doctor prescribed Movantik, a narcotic constipation medicine. | This medicine is the best medicine for chronic pain. This medicine gets a bad reputation, but if you take as prescribed works better then anything else. The biggest downfall is if you have to stop taking it, withdrawal is very difficult and painful. | M | 47 | 8 months 5MG 3X day | 3/17/2016 | 5 | Back Surgery & Fibronyalgia pain | dry mouth | This is the miracle pain killer with least amount of side effects that has kept me as a productive working citizen. Hard to believe the doses given on here and the side effects are caused by those high doses. You should not take this medication to the point of total pain relief. I have been on my dose of 5mg 2 x day for 15 years with occasional raise to 10 mg to see if helps more, but side effects outway the gain. This drug is tarnished by drug addiction stereotyping, when it could be used o improve so many more lives. At this time my pain doctor tries to get me off this medication on a yearly basis & I do try. This past Fall, she told me that if I continued with methadaone, that I would eventually not be able to have sexual relations with my wife. I agreed to try to get off methadone and went onto Suboxen (used to help get off methadone & as pain killer). The only problem was that when I would take only half of dissolving pill under my tongue, I would lose pain, but I would also lose consciousness. *The worst side effect to Suboxen is that I could no longer feel my Genitals to be able to start urinating & could not ejaculate. Ah, exactly what she said Methadone would cause. So, after staying on for 2 months to see if side effects would go away, I asked to get off Suboxen and my Doctor argued with me that my symptoms were impossible. I would not back down & told her that since my body should no longer be dependent on Methadone, that I would try one of the we | M | 49 | 15 years 5 2X day | 1/15/2016 | 5 | oxys dope habit | pain in my joints blurry vision sometimes | stories of getting off it scares me to why i even got on it i think if i had to do it over start fresh i would choose suboxsone or stay on oxys meth has scary with draw effects | M | 41 | 1 months 75mg day | 9/30/2015 | 5 | heroin addiction | Pain in joints | This stuff helps greatly with my anxiety and takes away all my drug and alcohol cravings! | F | 25 | 3 months 80 mg | 8/1/2015 | 5 | back pain , leg pain | Yawning, constapation, | the only pain med i do not abuse | M | 40 | 2 years 75mg | 7/8/2015 | 5 | Back and hop pain. | The only side effects I get from the methadone is a little constipation. But I make sure to eat plenty of fiber in my diet. | I've been on Methadone now for 14 years and let me tell you. I never thought in my entire life that I would be able to finish school and get my degree and hold down a great paying job. It's to easy for me to abuse other medications and methadone is the only one that has worked for me over the years. I know to some of you that 160 mg a day might seem a little high. But once I found the right dosage, I never had to change it and it's been 12 years on that level. I don't take anything else because it's too easy to abuse other pain meds. I stopped drinking and using. For me methadone has been a God send. I really never thought that I would be a productive member of society. And look at me now. I have 4 kids and still married after 15 years and I have a good paying job. It really has been a great medication for me. For others it may not work as well. But different strokes for different folks. | M | 50 | 10 years 160mg | 6/29/2015 | 5 | Denegerative disc disease. | Best pain management medicine for chronic pain. | M | 47 | 6 weeks 10 3X day | 6/14/2015 | 5 | Pancreatitis/Whipple/total Pancreae | Present: Sweating, sweet tooth, flushing Past: liver enzyme elevation, NODDING, severe weight gain, dental issues, poor hygiene, memory loss, hallucinations, cravings: sweets and nicotine | I have had ALL experience with Methadone. I was born with a genetic complication with my Pancreas called Divisum that is very rare. It can be exacerbated by food, alcohol, infection and drugs. Being rare it was a difficult road and took years before accurate diagnosis. I went through pure hell with abdominal pain thought to be "gas" in my teens to accusations of alcohol induced pancreatitis in my 20s until a surgeon recognized it. I had a car accident that led to opiate addiction which caused severe pancreatitis that became chronic. At that time in 06-07, I went on Methadone(90mg) for 9 months. At that time, I had every single horrific side effect and I couldn't work due to nodding out. I was over medicated but in severe pain. The drug covered underlying infection and I couldn't wean because I was in so much pain! I didn't understand until I ended up in the hospital for 3 MONTHS. As it went back into remission, I detoxed and was able to be clean for 4 years. In 2013, I was on track, eating clean and in the best shape of my life!! Well, pancreatitis came back out of nowhere. Not kidding! And it was wicked, extraordinarily sick with liver enzymes in the 1000s(normal 20-65); vomiting nonstop until I ruptured a stomach vessel. I was once again on high end opiates and then my dr wanted me to do Methadone again for pain. Reluctantly, I agreed and for 3 months again found myself in ZOMBIEville with dose at 40mg through day with oxy for breakthrough. I was mean and miser | F | 38 | 6 months 40 mg | 6/5/2015 | 5 | Disc Degenerative disease | Weight gain. Constipation. | Best medicine for chronic pain treatment. No other medicine came close to Methadone for pain relief. | M | 46 | 18 months 10mg 3X day | 4/13/2015 | 5 | pill habit | Always hot sleep good no sex drive but takes away my cravys | It help me stay clean | F | 39 | 1 days | 1/4/2015 | 5 | 14 years it beats going dr. shoppin | None if I take the same dose everyday it's saved my life and kept me out of prison 15 years now you have to respect it and it works | I don't take anything but methadone and I have a pain free life thank you God | F | 56 | 1 days | 12/16/2014 | 5 | Pill addiction, 2 back surgeries | Constipation, sweating, intense sweet cravings, weight gain ( 10lbs) but I ordered Vitadone and all of the side effects are GONE !!!! | methadone is my miracle drug. I can live a normal life with my family :). I have very little break through pain, nothing an ibuprofen can't take care of. I plan to be on this medicine the rest of my life. I had 2 back surgeries with the 2nd one being a bi-level spinal fusion and it messed me up :( my dr said I have what is called failed back surgery. I also have nerve damage on my right side, osteoporosis , and arthritis . So yes methadone takes care of that for me to live a normal life, I have a very active 2yr old that I am able to play with and a 14yr old daughter that is happy to see her momma awake cause the other meds are my devil. Sorry for a little of my life story, lol, but thank you for reading it. Do not let the people who stereo type methadone as only something for junkies because it's NOT true . I NEVER intended to get addicted to the hydrocodones, but years of taking them and anybody and everybody will be addicted to them. | F | 36 | 9 months 80mg | 11/14/2014 | 5 | back l as in | It works gave me a normal life howeer my dr would like me to liwer it they get on her for prescribing it. I never have enough and go thr wuthdrawl 1 week a month its hell. But i need it for the other 3weeks IT KILLS THE PAIN | F | 54 | 7 years 80mg day | 9/11/2014 | 5 | Lower back and leg(s)pain. | Constipation and a bit of sleepiness. | I used to take Vicodin in the summer of 2006 after my back surgery, went through physical therapy, the pain was almost gone, but it was bearable. Fast forward to 2012 and the pain returned to my lower back and legs. My usual doctor prescribed hydrocodone that did not work; and refused to give something stronger. My partner was on oxycodone and soma; and he gave me one to take for the pain; and it helped. I've found a new pain management doctor, but he only prescribed me the oxycodone and soma only once because he was afraid of the DEA; and wanted to force me to take shots in my back and I have a big phobia of needles! The shots hurt like hell and they didn't work at all! After trying to find a pain management place that show compassion, I've found one that really listened to me. My doctor sent me to get an MRI and it shown the problem. Even though he'd like me to consider surgery and injections, he put me on methadone at 5 mg which helped a little. The next month he upped the mg to 10 mg @ 4 times at day. Let me tell you...it really works!! The pain diminished, I can go on walks without pain, able to do some household chores (not as fast as I'd like but am grateful), do food shopping, and even can make love with my partner without screaming from back pain. The only downside is constipation, but I use stool softners and gentle laxatives to take care of that; and a bit of sleepiness, but I can handle that. I am so glad my pain management doctor has me on methadone for long term | M | 48 | 3 months 10 mg 4X day | 7/13/2014 | 5 | disc in lower back | Before it the medicine reach its peak I yawn a lot til it gets in my body. | F | 45 | 7 years 70 mg | 6/24/2014 | 5 | Pill addiction/back and hip pain | Tiredness, sweating, weight gain (40 lbs). NO SEX DRIVE!!I'm glad I'm off pills but clinic here is $84 per week so if you don't have Medicaid , you pay cash. I'm afraid to get off methadone because of the withdrawal horror stories It helps my pain and keeps cravings away. | F | 31 | 3 years 95 mg | 5/25/2014 |
