supplements for methadone side effects?

by cruder, Jul 07, 2007 12:00AM
Hello all. About to go on the methadone program and have heard all about the various subtle/not so subtle side effects of methadone. some myths, some not. What  i wanted to know was what are some good practises and maybe supplements to take alongside methadone to protect the body and counter some of them, for instance, teeth issues, nutritional issues, amino acids, brain function, musculoskeletal care etc.

Why would you want to start doing a drug that is extremely addictive....?

I was on the methadone program for several years 90 mg a day.  Do you know it's nickname is liquid handcuffs because that is what it is.  You can't go anywhere because you have to report everyday to get your fix.  If you go out of state you have to find a clinic in another state for a curtosey does which you have to pay for.  They all do supervised urines which I failed enough times that they kicked me off.  The detgox from methadone is 100 times worse than any opiate including heroin.

I am in day 4 of my detox c/t and it is not fun but I would never, ever consider going on methadone.

If you go on the clinic, get off that stuff asap. The longer you are on it the worse it is.  I was on for 5 years.
