Opiate Withdrawal
"I can&#039;t give methadone a horrible review as it does have its place. When your bad off it can get your life back in order. I&#039;ve been on and off twice. Each time over 2 years on @ around 130mg usually. While on it you can beat drug adiction, so it does save lives, BUT it comes at a cost. Its much more addictive than herion and I did a bundle per shot just not to feel sick (didn&#039;t get high) while off methadone in my past. Hard to believe but it&#039;s true. Getting off of it is  much harder. Regular opiate withdraw lasts maybe 4 to 5 days. Methadone withdrawal can take weeks to feel normal again making most return to the clinic or start to use again to kill the sickness. Even getting off slowly doesn&#039;t make it easy."
