Is methadone a painkiller

Lovely, sweet tale. Your characteristic ramble; I especially enjoyed the 'painkiller as truth serum' expediting the plot!

Sounds great. I'd like to know what (specifically) was in the bottle. I have seen advertised some products that numb the area and help with anal sex specifically, not just as a lube, but as a painkiller.

To Anonymous 4 months ago. There are a few Doctors and Nurses who read these stories by the way.....16 to 17 inches will not only go through the rectum but with a slight left turn into sigmoid colon then to the decending colon and further up with a sharp right turn into the transverse colon. Enemas only reach so far and after that you meet faecal matter (shit) so people having a colonscope where the camera and light at the front and highly flexible is 2 ins in diameter, have to have bowel prep which is a diet to follow and take 2 sachets of picolax several hours apart and lots of water, litres and litres and then spend the next 24 hours mostly in the toilet, as we call it spring cleaning for the bowel, clearing you top to bottom and only water allowed until you have the scope. You have sedation usually midazolam (gives you short term memory loss) and Fentanyl (opiate painkiller 100 times more powerful than morphine) IV and a drip. It is extremely painful reaching the upper areas of the decending bowel and even getting into the transverse is so painful it breaks through the sedation/painkiller. Used to see tumours and other conditions. With a dildo you would of met shit and if you pushed too hard perforated you bowel and died. So really, did you put 17 inch dildo up your arse,long enough to go into your transverse colon with that tricky 90° right turn, didn't meet any shit (apart from your boast) and could overcome tremendous pain and not rupture your bowel?!!! So let's have the truth....and remember Doctors and Nurses read these stories!!!

It is a shame the writer does not want to go where her original compass was logically taking her. The bad character wants to take a straight woman by force or drug. She chooses a drug to take her UNWILLING partner. But then the writer is squeamish about dealing with the context she herself created and we end up with a completely sober shell of a heroine who is actually behaving like she just took a mild painkiller or just had a few drinks too many -and yet is so aware of what is going on but will not say no. In other words, the character is too sober to be drugged and also too dumb to catch on to her own being drugged.
With a few tweaks and a genuine commitment to the non-consent part and a continued story , not the plot-interruptus we got, this would be a worthwhile story , as the writer has no problem with ambience descriptions but the characterization was not there for the heroine, nor the self-awareness necessary and emotions as to what is really going on.

Bravissimo!
Excellent story, the addition of the various forces affecting Andre's life and not focusing too much (at first) on his love for Cassandra was well done.
The antagonists (for the most part) got their comeuppance and further explanation of those ramifications - while wanted, weren't necessary.
Personally, I like the 'pay-off' (A.K.A - Sex) at the end of the story after a good build up.
I like the passage:
His music was a mix of Heavy, Gothic, Thrash, Death, and Black Metal. He found it helped calm his mind, keeping it occupied and distracted from the zillions of other inputs pouring in. With the beat of Metallica's Creeping Death providing the soundtrack, he left the building and walked to school.
And him listening to The Priest's 'Painkiller' is very apropos.
