Methadone No No No!!!!! (Page 5)
(Newest replies first)

Methadone is the worst drug and most wicked drug in this entire world. They give it to people like me with pill problems and then you can never get off the stuff. I made the worst mistake of my life going into a Methadone program. The people at these places pretend like they are there for you but they are not. They are there to keep you on this drug that rots away at your mind and body, and they do it well. They want your money. Do you know how cheap liquid methadone is? They milk off your addiction and act like they are doing something good for people like me. I HATE Methadone. I hate what it's doing to me and I HATE that I came in this place for a pill addiction four years ago, at 22, told I had one year and I would be weened off and here I am. I fight with these people all the time about this but they come up with a million excuses for why I should STILL be on this crap. It is going to kill me, just like the other pills, maybe just slower and more agonizing.

The best addiction treatment that is now available is Suboxone, which contains the active ingredient Buprenorphine.

Using it as a treatment has enabled many people to become completely free of their drug dependence, compared to Methadone, which causes many people to require a maintenance dosage for life.

You can read more on this medication here:

Tammy, sound to me like you are the one who is passing judgment. Your remark about the $20.00 a day makes no sense, and again I will say, why are you still at your clinic?? I have been at my clinic since Jan 2001, and I have heard a lot of stories and seen a lot of things, but your post is just BS through and through...You need to STFU and go tell it to the 12 steppers who brainwashed you...NA is what will kill you..Remember I said that, then look around and see how many opiate addicts land up either using again or blowing their brains out because of NA...

446..48 hours is nothing, you haven't even starting withdrawls yet. There are a few things I don't understand about your post. If you have been on the clinic for 5 months then why are you having to go everyday? U should have at least a few take home bottles by now unless your UA's are coming back positive for other drugs, BTW, methamphetimiine is not physicaly addicting so why are you comparing the 2 medications? It has now been a week W/O your dose, how are you feeling today?? I hope you are ok, but I don't think you are, whatever you do, please try to find another clinic, or better yet you are on such a low dose you may decide suboxone is a better choice for you..BTW, being on methadone isn't being a slave, however abusing whatever opiate you were using is Hell....Think about it

Tammy, instead of spreading this stupid crap about methadone, please show us the articles that you have that prove methadone is harmful. You won't be able to provide anything because methadone is one of the safest opiates there is..If your clinic is as bad as you say it is then why don't you leave?? If they are lying to you the way you claim they are, call the health department..Your post reeks of 12 step BS.. Clinics have laws they must follow, and if they did what you claim they would have been shut down long ago,. I see you writing on how methadone and clinics are evil, yet here you are still on it..Then you say that your drug tests are false because you pay cash. You seriously think the State or the Government would allow that to happen? Get a grip girl. Clinics don't operate the way you say they do...I think you are also very stupid if you are taking benzos W/O telling the clinic, people die taking the 2 drugs together, the clinic doctor needs to know you are on benzos because he/she needs to ajust your dosage, That in itself proves you aren't telling the whole story because clinics certainly don't want their patients to die. Your story is so full of holes that if it wasn't so sad I would think it is funny, BTW, what kind of pills were you addicted to B4 you got on methadone? It is very hard to get into a clinic W/O medical documentation. 2 failed attempts at rehab, doctors recordsm etc, You aren't allowed to walk into a clinic and just get dosed, you need to go through a process..If you want to demonize a drug that has saved many lives, at least tell a more convincing story.....Again, show us those articles on how methadone rots our bodies...ROFLMAO

Hi Bekki..Thanks for your post..It isd people like you and me who have to let people know that methadone isn't the domon drug from Hell that people say it is. Your story is just like mine, except for the baby. Congratulations BTW..I have many firends who have had healthy babies because of methadone...We need to remain vocal to the good that methadone has done for countless addicts around the world. Please keep posting and let us know when you have your baby!!!!

I have been on methadone for like 5 months i stopped going friday b/c the money got tight i was spending to much money on gas and going over there, i was on 20mg and i quit oh well its been almost 48hrs nothing i dunno, i missed one time and thought i was gonna die for 1 day its all in your head i believe. at the place i go to they dont have no charging system or whatever if you dont pay you dont get anything there is no charging lol, 11.00 for liquid 10.00 for gas is like 20.00 a day x(times) 30 is $600.00 a month, im glad im not being a slave to the drug anymore methadone is more addicting then methemphetamine.

Your are so BLIND, YOUR NUTS! Guess who felt the exact same way as you do when I was nine months into the program. Anyone who knows anything about a methadone clinic knows they do it for the money. I was completely clean for two and a half years and sounded just like you. You know if your a paying patient they always find a way to suck you right back in. Its so funny because they try and drug test me at least twice a month. I've been takin benzo's, prescribed by a doc who knows that I am on Methadone, never told the methadone clinic that, but yet my swabs have been perfect for 3 years!! Bull s***! It's because I'm a paying patient never been late every Friday. Methadone clinics are like feeding bananas to monkeys. See how you feel after being stuck in there for three years. You have no idea what it's like to walk in my shoes, be where I am, be me, so don't pass a judgement on ME, because I think methadone clinics are just an excuse to substitute one habit for another. You sat there and said yourself they'll drop you five mills if you dont have the money. Thats not the way it is down here, it's twenty per day, if you don't pay. So hows that feel, huh? After ten years in there maybe you could be a counselor or something cause you sound just like mine! Wake up!

You know that you were worse off before you got in there I am sure. And I don't know what state you are in but I am in Tennessee and you know as well as I do all you have to do is not pay your bill and they will detox you 5mg per day. So if you ask me it is your own fault that you are still there. If you truly in your heart don't want to be there, You would get out, You and I both know it. I am been in the methadone clinic for 9 months and I am a much happier person and way more energetic. I was a lot worse when I got there, than I am now. I feel human now and that was something that I haven't been able to say in years!!! I know every one is entitled to their own opinion, But I want you to think back to when you first started at the clinic, Did it help you? Think about what you were doing before then. Think about what kind of person you were becoming then ask you self are you a better person now? Be completely honest with yourself and I bet you are a better person. If you say no then I don't believe you. I know some where in side you, you know that it has made you a better person. I know for sure that it has helped me. I had gotten to the point that I was banging all the meds I could find and I had ugly track marks. #1 they are gone. I have been pregnant 9 times and only have one child. I am pregnant now and my doctor has told me that I have mis-carried so many times because I was doing so many pills, never the same amount, never the same kind from day to day. Which caused me to not be able no carry past 6 weeks. Now that I am getting help with my problem. Now that I am taking the same amount, same thing every day at the same time each day. It has made me be able to keep my baby. I am now 19 weeks pregnant I find out what my baby is next week. For that I owe my life to the methadone clinic. So just because every thing isn't going your way doesn't mean it is the worse pill in the world. You should think twice before you say that it is so horrible. Think about ALL the people it HAS helped. Including YOURSELF!!!!
