Question by SQUIRREL: Please tell me all the reasons Methadone is prescribed? IM TIRED OF EXPLAINING MYSELF.?
Recently I started seeing a pain specialist. He added Methadone to my prescriptions. I take pain meds, muscle relaxers,nerve meds,sleeping meds, high bp meds,siezure meds.and meds for anxiety/depression. I have many neurological problems such as Degenerative Disc Dis., Degenerative Joint Dis., Spinal Stenosis, Spurs in the cervical,thoracic.lumbar and sacral regions, Severe Encroachment of the lumbar/sacral for. Cauda Equina Syndrome, I also have meniscus tears in both knees ,bursitis in my rt hip, . Along with that Ihave Fibro Myalgia, Migraines, Epilepsy and High Blood Pressure. I dont like the fact that some people automaticly think Methadone is only for dope heads, junkies and the like. PLEASE help me educate the world about other uses for METHADONE !!!! I feel as if my family and friends think of me differently because I am taking Methadone. I take my medications as they are prescribed because without them I would have absolutely NO QUALITY OF LIFE. EDUCATE MY LOVED ONES!!!!!

Darlin’ I suspect part of the problem is that you feel you have to explain junkies….get that garbage out of your head.
The fact of the matter is that narcotics always have, and always will be pain relievers reserved for acute and chronic severe conditions. You shouldn’t have to feel guilty because other people abuse them.
Be an example of someone who is using them responsibly – that will educate them far more than words.

It is effective for pain, but have you read the deaths connected to this medication.
Ask them because overdosing can be lethal.
