DJNjax. Very interesting about methadone. I though my pain Dr was gonna put me on OxyCotin for my chronic pain. I was suprised when he put me on methadone. I would rather the Oxy, personally, and not just for the buzz. I think it works a lot better on my pain. The methadone I teake is 4 times a day, 10mg. I try to take it the samr times every day. I notice when I wake up, Im in a lot of pain. Do not understand why. Ive tried all the potentiating tricks and none of them seems to work, except gabapentin and quercetin. And, its not much help. Ant more ideas. I guess Im just stuck with methadone. Heck, its sure better than nothing, ta know. Good tidbit of info from ya. Thanks! Oh yeah, please hang in there with your back bro. I cant imagine being in that situation. I checked out you screws and bolts and shit. Scary stuff. Ill pray for ya dude. Take it easy!
