chronic pain
"I have to say...the best thing for me.  I've been on most kinds of pain medication, because of back surgery and methadone has saved my life. I take 80 mg a day.  The government is making it harder to get, the pharmacy doesn't want to fill large amounts. I don't get high on the drug, but it helps tremendously with chronic pain. I am 68 years old and a liver transplant recipient.  Been on it for 6 years. Constipation isn't a problem for me, it may have been at first, but my body has adjusted.  Much better, then morphine, diladid or oxycontin.  And cheaper by far."
