1996-2009 Works well, but took my PM doc 4 months to convince me to try it because of the social stigma. I was accused by a family court judge of being a former Heroin addict. She didn't know any better!

My boyfriend has been on the Methadone clinic for a little over a month now. Hes at 100 mg. If he misses a dose however he needs to get high or he will get sick.

Methadone saved my life. My brain chemistry was going crazy after abusing heroin and other opiates so I could not stick with any other treatments because of how terrible I felt. Methadone normalized my brain enough for me to start really focusing on my recovery. Ive been off of heroin since day two of methadone treatment almost seven years ago. Its a vital tool of recovery for me. We all need to find our own individual combination of recovery tools that work for us.

Seems to be helping me more than anything else I've tried. I take 10 mg 4 times a day and it doesn't make me high. But I still have to take my Loratab when I'm really hurting bad.

I have a prescription for 3 -5mg.tabs of Methadone per day which works for pain.
