Specializes in Pain Management

Depends: Methadone typically is a long acting pain medication and Percocet is a short acting pain medicine. Many times both long acting and short acting pain medications are prescribed to treat chronic pain. I would suggest speaking with his doctor or pain specialist to see if this is the right medication for him.
