Lower Back Pain

March 1st, 2006
First , id like to say hello and god bless to all , ive been suffering w/lower back pain from a murdercycle in 1989. Does anybody else use methadone for pain relief, I do 20mgx2a day. Ive found it to be the most reliable pain med yet , I have not even needed a increase in 4 yrs. Anybody else who uses , could you please let me know of any log term side effects, my wife says im very forgetful. Your help would be greatly appreciated ...Thanxs in advance -lets try to stay strong

methadone
I am on this also and another med also. seems to work back pain somewhat for me. i am concerned due to the pharmacy saying this is not really good for you. speak to your pharmast. i told my dr. what i was told and he said stay with it never mind what you were told. due to this i am somewhat concerned but take it. i am also taking oxocodine for the pain
