Yes Methadone is a great medication for Fibro when taken properly, because see methadone has a tendency to build up in the body, and u have to be careful not overdose on it. A lot of doc's are scared to prescribe narcotic's for fibro, but when all else has failed it seems to be a good last line of defense. Good Luck

I take methadone. The official dosage is 10mg 3 x a day but I take 20mg in the morning and no more after that. Narcotics cause insomnia for me. I also take 2 7.5 hydrocodone in the morning as well but none after that. The methadone is what saved my life. It is the only pain med after trying many including the fentanyl patch that worked in the long term. Good luck.

My doctor offered me Methadone but I refused. Id rather have Dilaudid and Hydromorph-contin (not available in the USA).
