I was on methadone maintenance for 5 years this time (clean from other drugs for 4 years) and I just switched to suboxone. If you are just on dope or oxys, you need to figure out what you want. You will feel better/higher off the methadone. about an hour after you take it you get that kind of warm feeling and you can still catch a nod. I switched off methadone b/c I got sick of going to a clinic all the time, putting up with the bull**** and everyone treating you like you are a worthless junkie, even if you are doing everything right and working the program--but I am in a fairly big city, so my experience may be atypical.

So far on suboxone, it will hold you esp. if you are just coming off dope or pillls. Some people say they feel high of it but I am taking 24-30mg of suboxone per day and I feel not sick but a little off. Then again, I have used opiates for a long time and coming off a full-mu agonist like methadone straight to suboxone can bring on withdrawal symptoms.

Suboxone can be prescribed by a physician, in a regular doctor's office, and you can get monthly scrips unlike methadone where you have to do to a clinic and usually have to go every day. If you don't make it in time, door's locked and your out of luck till the next day.

Hey there are pain management doctors that write scripts for methadone just like they do suboxone u just have to hunt for the pain dr that prescribes methadone so u don't have to go to a clinic everyday and drink that nasty liquid. My exhusband described the taste of methadone to me when he was on it. He said if u stick ur finger in ur belly button then lick ur finger that's what the liquid methadone tastes like. My x was on methadone when I left him in Fl back in 2006 and he got off the treatment and went back on hard drugs and says its bc I left him and he had no reason to live if he couldn't have me. And now I hear from people in Fl that he's now on suboxone but still taking the pain pills... I myself will b going on the suboxone treatment from my pain dr as soon as I go back to my next appt next Mon. He did an MRI of my back and is gonna tell me what's wrong with my back that's causing so much pain and if its fixable he's gonna fix it then I'm getting off pills for good...
