Methadone
"Methadone has been the only pain medicine that I've found that relieves my back and neck pain and allows me to work and function without being high or loopy. The only problem that I have found is finding a Doctor who is aware that methadone is used for more than treatment of heroin addiction. I would also think there would be a lower incidence of abuse because you don't get the "high " you get with other narcotics. "
