Fentynal To Methadone Right Choice?

I was just taking fentynal 37.5 each day and found myself abusing it. I couldn't get enough. I was in an accident in 2013 and put on fentynal. I'm also an addict. Now I need to get off fentanyl because I'm addicted to it, I was abusing it and going thru the prescription fast and having a hard time finding a doctor to prescribe it to me. My pharmicist has sent me to a methadone clinic to help get off the fentynal. I have heard bad things about methadone. Like how hard it is to get off it. But so is fetynal. I want to be clean of opiates and options. Is taking methadone and going thru the program the right way? Has anyone successful got off methadone from being on fentanyl or another drug?

Some people do successfully get off of other drugs by using Methadone, there are always some that don't, who end up on a lifetime maintenance dose of Methadone, but that does not apply to all.

The U.S. FDA warns that it does carry the risk of being habit forming itself, and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

But there is no 37.5 dosage of Fentanyl available. Are you sure that's what you were taking?
