What is my next step in the process of killing the pain? Or is there a next step?  How long will it take for me to get off this medication and get out of my body?  I know I can't do without it now without being totally knocked down and not able to work or anything else.  I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place. http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/59341/39917/methadone
