Hi Kimspr3
I just deleted my reply because it was more info than needed and if you want to know how I know what I’m about to tell you; ask.
Methadone is its own animal and besides cigarettes methadone was the hardest drug to quit.
The doctor who explained why it was so difficult seemed to know and understand what it was exactly about methadone that made it a great pain med but hard to quit. Methadone lasts longer than most other opioids including heroin. In fact that’s why they use it.
When I started experiencing withdrawal symptoms I had no idea why my eyes were tearing, why I was yawning and stretching like a crack baby. The doc said “ oh that’s with drawl symptoms; we’ll just give you more. I didn’t want more so I asked to detox. OMG!!! What did I ask for?
Just be aware because it a great long lasting opioid but it’s harder to quit than most others
Dr. gave me Methadone, did not help the pain at all. In a small way I was happy because of the side effects. Oxymorphone, Morphine same results. Only my experience.
Methadone heroin without the high says it all but if you have used more than 300mme 40 mg of mdone will just keep you miserable and if your not proactive about your diet and exercise you will get constipated
