Distroyed me.

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.

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 ;
