pain
"I'm now 35 years old and I have been on Oxycontin 80mg 3 per day for about 10 years now, plus breakthrough pain medication.  I found it very helpful until my body gradually developed tolerance to the medicine.  I inquired about going to our local methadone clinic.  I took a chance and tried methadone instead.  Methadone took away all the pain that the oxycodone did but there wasn't any euphoric feeling. That is what caused problems with my family and the law. Well now I function and I have pain relief, and everyone is happy.  "
