Been on Lortab 10's for the duration..it started with taking 2 a day and has gradually built up to 5- 6 a day...I still have pain and I feel like lortab has taken over my life even though I know my pain is real..I went to a pain mngmt clinic and he suggested that I take 10 mg methadone..he said I will feel like a normal person again and not have withdrawls from the lortab but the methadone will relieve the pain as well. He said methadone when taken correctly is VERY effective and is a VERY misunderstood drug. I am also having injections to see if they will help. I am already on antidepressants and high blood pressure meds but he said that is ok..Frankly just the name SCARES the hell out of me and I was wondering if anyone has had success with methadone treatment????

Methadone makes people think of heroin addicts...but it is also a very useful pain medication! It is long lasting and effective. It is an opioid, so it can have the same issues with dependence and tolerance that other opioids have, but it is a legitimate pain medication. It is good that you are being seen in a pain management clinic, because they also have other ways of treating pain. I hope you feel better soon.
