Methadone

[Jester2005]

I would like to know what your opinions are on Methadone for treating pain killer pills?
Did it work for you? How did it make you feel?
I've heard that the withdrawals from Methadone are worse than any other opiate.
Has anyone experienced this?

my next question is about suboxone, but I will post it separately

the withdrawals are terrible yes.dont enter a world of torment,darkness and extreme loneliness,it s's an easy comfortable trip getting there,but a very dark hole crawling out of.

I have not used methadone to get off of pills but simply to get high.  it was my drug of choice because, unlike oxys and hydros, the buzz would last an entire day.  i have detoxed from just about every opiate there is.  the only difference with methadone WD is that they last much much longer than any other opiate, with maybe Suboxone being the exception.  but i guess it would all depend on how long one has been taking them.  i guess it may be possible to be on a very small dose for a very short amount of time and to avoid a lengthy withdrawal.
