Been on Methadone for 4 years and I think it is a miracle..Unless you don't have it.

It's helped me quite a bit, considering I started taking it because of the low cost. No side effects

Personally methadone has saved my life.On a lower dose it did very little for me except stop physical withdrawal and I was convinced that methadone was useless and I was a hopeless case. But putting my dose up to 100mgs worked wonders. It stopped me wanting to use for the first time since my habit started. Suddenly it no longer felt like I was fighting a losing battle because I actually didnt WANT to use. Being on methadone is helping me learn healthy coping mechanisms.

I take a very low low amount. .8 mg a day was prescribed at 10mg 1 to 2 times a day.
