pain
"I have had sacral joint and nerve pain since 2000. I started taking Lortab and when those didn't work, oxy's.  I finally managed to get off those by taking 5-10 Lortabs a day. I was a slave to the bottle, every hour or two. It was awful.  Now I take 1-2 methadones in the morning and I am fine till the next day, about 80% of the time.  Occasionally I have to take a 5mg one 1 hr before bed, but all in all it has been a relief."
