Opiate/Heroin Addicts Only: Has Methadone Worked for You?
Question by AngE: Opiate/Heroin Addicts Only: Has methadone worked for you?
Don’t want other’s crappy opinions about methadone. I’ve heard it all. I want to hear from addicts who have tried MMT and hear about their results.
Clarification: Even if you had a bad result in MMT, would like to hear this. I don’t want info from non-addicts who have never taken it.

they took me off my pain treatment medications and methadone you don’t get highs off it but it keeps you from going into withdrawals
Answer by Tang
It does the trick, though at a cost. I’ve had both methadone and suboxone, and suboxone worked better for me. A lot of that had to do with I’d rather go to a doctor once a month than a clinic 5 days a week. But some people don’t like sub because it’s only a partial agonist, and they don’t feel like it “holds” them as well as methadone does.
