For Opiate Withdrawal "Methadone has been great for me. It's important to get a stable dose, as a lot of people are afraid to be on a high mg. But whatever it takes to get you to not use is key. If you're on a low dose but still using, then what is the point? So don't beat yourself up, just work with your doctor. It's nice not to go through withdrawal, and not to mention it is great when the drug-seeking behavior finally is over with. Do yourself a favor, and if you're struggling with addiction, try this."

For Opiate Withdrawal "I've been on methadone linctus for 27 years now. The dose has varied as the roundabout of doctors and care workers has come and gone from 50ml [1mg to 1 ml] right up to 140ml. It, for me, has been a chemical ball and chain holding me to a chemist and a doctor. It rots your mind and body away slowly. I wish they had just given me pharmaceutical heroin and be done with it. Methadone, in my opinion, is the most vile drug. Use Subutex always. I am too old now, and it wasn't about when I started to take it from one who knows. Subutex is the way to go."

For Opiate Withdrawal "For around 5 years of my life, I was an extremely bad heroin addict. It completely and utterly ruined my life, to the point where I attempted to commit suicide by ODing on dope and Xanax. I've been on methadone close to two years now... I have my family back and am working on rebuilding my life. Unless you have tried and failed with suboxone, going to a rehab, etc., you have no business being on methadone. If you're taking something like Lortab, try and kick it yourself, or do a low dose suboxone taper. Methadone can turn you into a lifetime opioid addict. I had tried everything. Suboxone/subutex made me very sick, and I had tried to quit in every way possible, even 30 days inpatient. I'm scared about coming off, but with a support system I've seen it done successfully. I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT THAT METHADONE SAVED MY LIFE."

For Chronic Pain "I have read all the reviews of the methadone medication. The ones that really stand out to me are the people who are taking methadone and say how it saved their life/took all their pain away, and then will say how it rots your brain, or warn you to not take it, etc. If you have a doctor who knows what he is doing, has experience in providing this medication to patients, and YOU follow the doctor's directions about taking the methadone, there shouldn't be a problem at all. It will take your pain away, and you will have a life worth living. Now, not all medicines work the same for all people. There are exceptions to EVERYTHING... in other words, the medication just may not work for you due to your body chemistry. Then, go to your doctor and tell him/her the situation, and there is something out there that will help you. You and your doctor just have to find it, and sometimes it takes a while. Be patient, you will find it. Yes, I do take methadone. It works very well for me."

For Opiate Withdrawal "I was a bad drug addict for many, many years until we (husband and I) found methadone. My husband is gone because of lung cancer and was taking it up until his death, but I am still taking it and am very glad to be drug-free."

For Pain "I have used several types of pain medications before and never had the actual 10 to 12 hour relief that they promised, as I have found with Methadose/Methadone. Long-lasting relief and completely affordable for anyone paying cash for their prescriptions."

For Pain "I have had sacral joint and nerve pain since 2000. I started taking Lortab, and when those didn't work, Oxy's. I finally managed to get off those by taking 5-10 Lortabs a day. I was a slave to the bottle, every hour or two. It was awful. Now I take 1-2 methadones in the morning, and I am fine till the next day, about 80% of the time. Occasionally, I have to take a 5mg one 1 hour before bed, but all in all, it has been a relief."

For Pain "After trying Percocet and time-released morphine for chronic back pain, methadone was the only pain reliever that lasted for any length of time, but now my pain management clinic closed in 4/14/2010, and I'm trying to find a pain clinic (doctor) that is not afraid to prescribe methadone."

For Opiate Withdrawal "I was struggling with addiction for six years, I couldn't stop. I lost my house, my kids, and all my friends are dead. I was in and out of jail. I'm currently on my third year of going to a methadone clinic. NOT A SINGLE RELAPSE!!! NOT A SINGLE USE OF NEEDLES AGAIN!!! I have my kids, and I have a two-year-old little boy now. I focus all my energy on my children and can ACTUALLY BE A MOM WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT MY NEXT FIX. I felt guilty for going to the clinic, and one day I told the nurse how I was feeling. She is a very nice and honest lady. She said, 'Nik, do you remember what you went through when you were actively using other drugs?' I said yes, ma'am. She said, 'How much had your life changed since you started the program? Because I can see you haven't failed a single drug test.' I said, 'I have my life back now.' She said, 'Then don't feel guilty. If it works for you, don't worry about what anyone else thinks. You take this to help you, just like a person in pain would take it when they need it.' It gave my life."

For Pain "Methadone is a very good pain reliever. I use it for nerve pain and tenosynovitis and haven't found anything better. Unfortunately, I changed from a doctor to a clinic, and my new practitioner lowered my dose by 20 mg per day, which put me back to not using my hands very much."

For Chronic Pain "When I was seeing a doctor, I would get 30 mg in the morning, 30 mg in the afternoon, and if I needed it, 30 mg at night. Between those times, I took 30 mg of instant-release morphine three times a day if needed. This was better than just the methadone. I had no pain at all with the methadone, and no morphine with it. I would say, on a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a 7 or 6, and that's the diskettes. I found that the liquid did not hold me as long, and within 8 hours, I was back in pain. At least my pain is tolerable now."

For Chronic Pain "I was referred to a pain clinic by my neurologist because of my ongoing chronic pain from a benign brain tumor, fibromyalgia, and a lot of other disorders. The neurologist at the pain clinic put me on 60 mg/day of methadone for pain management and Lorcet 10 mg for breakthrough pain, which I took for 20 years. I had mild pain, yes, medium pain sometimes, but nothing like before. Then, I got a call from the clinic saying that I could no longer be a patient there unless I could pay cash because Medicare stopped letting them treat their patients. I went into shock! I had an appointment scheduled in 5 days, but I would also have to pay cash for it. The clinic told me that they would refill my pain meds for 30 more days to give me time to find a new doctor or clinic. So, I thought crisis avoided, I can find a doctor in 30 days. I actually found a pain clinic! I left with no methadone, I went through the most awful torture, pain, and sickness. It's been 45+ days now, still sick! Just say no to it, please."
