Hello, Jeff! How are you?

A regular doctor is not allowed to prescribe it for addiction treatment. The only option for that is a Methadone clinic. That is the way the law currently stands.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Do you have a clinic nearby?
