I'm telling ya. My pain specialist has me on 15mg of methadone a
day. that's not very much as all. Huge improvement. It affects
the nerve endings to keep the pain away. I was taking 20mg a day and asked
to go down. I still have slight pain but nothing like before.

Hi Stacy,
I'd wake-up and want to eat. I put on weight and almost stopped
working out completely, and that was when I started weaning myself off
it. At least the pain lets me stay awake and doesn't put weight on
me!

Hey Dave,
It had the same effect on me plus I put on weight. My doctor was
a bit upset I quit taking it but did absolutely nothing for the pain.
I take a low dose of methadone and I love it. It's only 15mg a
day. The spasticity decreased and everything.

Hi Dan,
I started taking Elavil and the longer it was in my system, the later
I was getting up in the mornings. I'm usually up at 5:45 A.M. so it
was unusual and I stopped using it.
With Love,
My Doc told me I need to try neurotin or elavil--- I tried
elavil 3 days and slept good 1st night then had some indigestion next
2 nights not sure if the elavil caused it and had a lot of the
pain i'm trying to get rid of 3rd night......Does anyone know if these
meds take a while to begin working ?
