A member asked:
My dr is pressuring me to try methadone to treat my chronic pain in place of my usual narcotics. is methadone effective for chronic pain and what are the risks?

Effective: Methodone is commonly used for chronic pain. Your prescriber believes it would be effective for you. But it has its risks. Both the benefit and the risks should be discussed in detail by you and your prescriber.
