I'm not sure I can speak as a drug addict, I did however take narcotic pain medication for 20yrs, and 16 yrs of that was on a daily basis. I'm physicly addicted to narcotics, and suffered greatly when they were no longer available. I started out on 15mg of methadone,what a terrible starting point. My first concern was my legs,indescribable pain with the inability to sit, or sleep. What;s worse is I never had to experience this, and had no one to talk to or help me,my back pain along w/ leg pain left me physiclly unable to do my daily chores, and unable to eat. I was told by a few people "a doctor can't just take you off narcotics". Like hell they cant,they did, and for no good reason except that my doctor left saying every thing has been taking care of. Thankfully I've GOD on my side because I like where I am now,I just dont like the way I got here. Going from narcotics to methadone is almost impossible, and I am sure that if I was just switched over by my doctor I would not have made it. I needed what the methadone clinic had to offer and even though I believed then, and still do that I'm not a drug addict I learned alot. I use to sweat alot at night, it was my body telling me I needed more pain medication( morphine). I learned about proper ways to take meds and what happens to the body when you don't. I learned about drugs,drug addicts. When I said I would not have made it, I meant that it took 3 months of pain,sleepless nights when I switched to methadone, and the clinic had counsling,it had hope and support, I had to keep telling myself that things will get better. My body was going though a transision, and the clinic had a nurse & a doctor that I saw and asked questions offten. I've been on methadone for three years, my body has not required an increase since my stabilized dose 2.1/2 yrs ago. I could right a book but I hope what I have said here might help some one who has been abandon by there doctor, or someone who has pain and is tired of being dictated by there medication choice. I’m realy glad I found somthing that almost eliminates my back pain.

You do get off heroin but your just replacing one drug for another. This drug is very addictive and by the time any doctor decides to take you off of it your already addicted to this medication. And then the withdrawls from methadone is worse than just stoping heroin. Methadone sets into your bones and the withdrawl is very painful. This is a bunch of crap.
