was in a wheelchair for a year after back surgerys. put on methadone for the pain so I could manage to get up and get my mucsles going as much as I could. But I woke up in the middle of the night in the other room, don't know how I got there or if I had a ciggarette. It scared me enough to get off them. I have alot of memory loss because of the drugs.

made me sick.
Stayed on 60mg of methadoneday for 16 months. Got used to not going to get dope everyday. But as soon as I tried to detox off of the methadone I got sicker from that than the heroin so I went back to the street.

I was switched to Methadone 4 or 5 years ago because my Wife lost her job, consequently our Insurance! I am unable to work. At first I didn't like it but after getting the dose just right it seems to work OK ;
