I was on Methadone for ablout 6 months, it worked well for me NO side
effects and my doctor had me on it because I had NO health insurance and
it is the least expensive pain med. The only thing about Methadone is
that it decreased my food intake a lot. I lost over 20 pounds in 6
months so I had to stop taken it, this might me good for some woman but
I am already a very small person and I can't aford to loss weight. If
you have any questions at all please feel free to write.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!!!
