I've asked this in the pain management mega thread but haven't really got a super definitive answer so figured I'd start a thread specifically about this. I suffer from chronic pain due to a spinal injury and have been on various meds for it for about three years. Currently on Norco 10s 6x a day. I find I have trouble staying within my dose. This is mainly due to tolerance and the fact that the meds help tremendously with my medication resistant depression. I have been offered by my PM doc the chance to switch to either oxy or methadone. I lean more towards the done as it is pretty long acting from what I gather and is sort of a stabilizing medication reducing cravings etc.
My questions are for those on or who have been on methadone whether for MMT or pain. Mainly I'd like to know how it makes you feel personally and for those who have used for pain how well it works for that. I know it's subjective but would like to know others experiences. My goal is to have pain relief as well as if possible the depression relief opiates in general seem to provide without the ups and downs oxy and hydro give. Just a stable level of relief.
Any and all methadone users personal experiences would be highly appreciated. Thanks for your time and for reading my post.
