"methadone is my lifesaver. i have had back pain associated with nerve damage. degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, bursitis and some other minor/major problems here and there. i was taking ten to twelve percocets a day. i heard about clinics that give doses of methadone daily. i went and now i&#039;m happy to get my methadone daily. i take nothing else and couldn&#039;t be happier. methadone works the best for pain and its long-acting and i take it for opiate addiction as well. i&#039;m on 50 mg and it just works great."
