How effective is methadone in managing neuropathic pain? it has less side effects than morphine & more effective. thx

It's effective: For a brief time then, many patients report loss of efficacy. So where do we go from there? There's actually no solid research to confirm which is universally accepted as showing methadone as unique or superior in pain management for neuropathy when comparing to less potent opioids. Have you truly been tried on every possible medication or cocktail of meds for the neuropathy? Tried BOTOX?

Methadone: has some properties for helping with neuropathic pain. Generally though opiates are poor neuropathic pain medications and are not typically recommended, however methadone may have better efficacy than other opiate medications. Given its long half life it can be a health crisis, because overdose can be problem. I would see a pain specialist to determine what might be appropriate for you.
