Chronic Pain: You have to discuss with your pain specialist if Methadone is the right grug for your kind of pain and what else you can take and do including therapy, nerve blocks to spare the use of narcotics, which are very addictive and you develop tolerance if you use these long term narcotics are not the answer for all chronic pain.

DANGER: I personally do not use methadone. I see no advantage to it in management of chronic pain. In my opinion it is the most dangerous drug used in pain management.
