That is great that you found something that works!!! I too have been on many different kinds of pain meds but nothing ever works. Right now I'm on OxyContin 40mg 3x a day. It barely knocks the edge off the pain.
The last time I went to my pain management doctor, I asked if I could try something other than Oxy and Methadone was one of the three options she gave me. Like an idiot, I chose the Duragesic patch that you wear for 3 days at a time. Pain meds normally do not make me sleepy but this one sure did!!! I kept falling asleep at my desk, couldn't drive, couldn't function a bit. I finally ripped the patch off after falling asleep at work on the toilet (for 30 to 45 minutes)!!! I'm just glad I didn't fall off :)!!! But when I stood up my legs were still asleep and my ankles rolled over - ouch.
Anyway, back to the Methadone.....so no side effects, they don't make you feel sleepy or "messed up" and they are working for you. That is wonderful!!! I'm really happy you are feeling good. Maybe I will give them a shot. Please keep us posted.
