Whats your opinion on methadone for pain control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Methadone: It is a good strong analgesic. Titration to an effective dose is a slow process. It has risks and side effects that you should discuss with your doctor. It is to be used for long term chronic pain. Never to be taken only as needed.
