In the pantheon of American labor history there is a very special place for Ralph Chaplin, the man and his work. As the poet laureate of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), he is probably remembered best for giving organized labor its fighting them song, Solidarity Forever .. --Bruce Le Roy.
A long-acting opioid, methadone is an often-used medication in the treatment of opioid withdrawal. This medication will aid the recovering user by alleviating withdrawal symptoms and reducing cravings without inducing a marked addictive, euphoric high.
Long-term withdrawal from heroin is often marked with severe low energy, fatigue and depression. In brief: Depressant. While all opioids (drugs like opiates - heroin, oxycodone, hydrocodone, Methadone etc) are depressants, in people who are dependent on them, they are also often energizing. People in withdrawal are often very tired and lethargic, and getting more opioid may make them more stimulated and awake.
