Hello. I have been on every pain killer there is. The only one that really works for me is Methadone. My experience: no side effects, quick and long-lasting pain relief. Very inexpensive. If I should have breakthru pain..I will take 2 Aleve. I have a sensitive stomach so i take all my meds with milk. I have been reading lately that some pain management Drs. are taking a different approach to the uses of methadone as a pain-relieving approach. I have been on this medication for about 7 years and I have stopped taking it for a spell to see if i would suffer from withdrawal...I was just fine. I hope this does not sound too arogant..but I really think that this drug should be at least considered if all else fails. I also realize that everyone is different. What might be great for one..might be the oppposite for another.

I would welcome hearing from others who have contemplated trying this drug 4 pain control!

Take good care..all!!
