"i started out on darvocet many years ago for my knee pain and ended up on percocets.  that was a horrible place to be after years of use and it would take so many more than prescribed to work.  since i started taking methadone i haven&#039;t felt this good in the last 25 years of dealing with this pain and pain medicine.  i take what i am prescribed and even though i still am a bit uncomfortable my quality of life is so much better!"
