"i&#039;m 20 now and i have been taking methadone for a while now and i love it. i have been on percs and vics for a long time and they didn&#039;t work as well as the methadone. it lasts all day and doesn&#039;t take long to start working. i thank my doctor every month when i go back to get refills. i didn&#039;t know you could use it for pain but i&#039;m really happy you can. if you are on percs or vics and they aren&#039;t lasting very long and you are not looking for the high you can get from pain medicines ask your doctor about methadone, it&#039;s the best pain medicine out there."
