I have a lot of chronic pain issues and after  taking oxy ir and er, neither work the best anymore.

 

im wondering if suboxone or methadone work as pain medicine and not only treatment to sobriety.

 

i just don't want the stigma of being an addict-ever though I know I'm dependent.

 

 

is this worth talking to my pain management doctor to see about switching?

 

would it give adequate pain control?

 

 

i just know once anyone sees I'm on it I will lose credibility as a chronic pain patient and I'll be seen as an addict.

 

thanks,

Losing hope
