I am on Methadone, and have been for years for Severe Chronic Pain. However it does no good anymore as I am *use* to it. At first it helped a great deal, now it is like taking a baby Aspirin. I have to see my Doctor tomorrow matter of fact, and she is thinking about taking me off, (slowly) and pitting me on Morphine. Going from bad to worse in my opinion, but I am not a Doctor. It is also used to fight withdrawal symptoms for Heroin Addicts to ease the cravings. Hope this helps.

I am bitterly opposed to Methadone.All it does is legitamises drug addiction.It gives a safety net to the addict that removes their motivation to get clean.Why bother when you can just sup a little Methadone and get about your business.Methadone is a ticket to a lifetime of addiction.People kid themselves that if they take Meth that they are no longer addicted to Heroin,the truth is that they are only ever one missed dose away from being back to full scale addiction.Most addicts fall into a routine of selling the Meth to buy Heroin and often only use the Meth when they can’t score,or take the Meth to get them out of bed so they can get in a good days shoplifting and then score.Advise your friend to just sweat it out,it’s the fastest way,in the long run it’s also the most successful.You have 2 weeks of misery and then you have your life back! Methadone sends you down a long road to years of misery.Don’t do it.
