"i was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2009 after breaking my neck and lower back in a car accident. i was taking approximately 14 pills a day...everything from percocet to morphine as well as anti-depressants.  my marriage failed and i was not able to cope with every day routines. my pain was so great. finally, after seeing a pain management doctor and taking myself off all of the medications, i was prescribed methadone and what a miracle it has been. i still have to take norco with the methadone, but my pain level is becoming more manageable. i am not able to work but i can get out of bed now and maintain somewhat of a life with less pain. what a great improvement this has been for me. i hope this helps someone who is unsure."
