I was doing a lot of reading about this Horrible drug. I've been on it all, and Methadone has to be one of the worst drugs out there. Over 6 years of Meds 4 of which was on Methadone 40mgs a day and 60mgs of Oxycodone. I also have had 9 surgeries and cages in my neck. Wires in my Spine, I hurt but the Meds was doing more harm than good. So when I started passing blood in my Urine and the Drs could not tell me why. I did a lot of research. Man I would like to turn back time and tell that Dr what to do with that drug. Methadone is a horrible drug, it might help you get off other substances but all you are doing is trading places, one bad thing for another. I have now been off all pain Meds for 22 days and it was a b***h for a while but things are getting better. Keep strong and positive, it will be worth it in the end.
