Suggest An Effective Alternative For Methadone
I have been taking a low dose of methadone for pain from my doctor for over two decades. I know I am dependant on it, however my perscription is taken how it is supposed to be taken and I,ve never misused it I have never taken any illicit drugs, taken alcohol or smoked marijuana and have no desire to do so.my main question is there any other pain medication that would work for me that does not have such a negative reputation.
