Not to be confused with methamphetamine.
METHADONE is a completely different drug- Originally, it was prescribed for people who were dealing with withdrawals from drugs/alcohol. Then some idiot found out it relieved pain.
Now, thanks to people that have abused vicoden and oxyxontin, the MD's are prescribing this to keep the DEA off their backsides...
In effect, they are killing people- old, young and inbetween...
One day soon, if we as consumers do not outcry loudly enough, this tragedy is going to happen to someone in the DEA, or start to happen at the insurance companies- the people and/or their loved ones. Sadly, that is what it will take to make people stop using it... They won't care unless/until it happens to one of their own...

My own stepdaughter died on September 13th from taking this drug. Please tell your family/friends/loved ones NOT to take METHADONE under any circumstances.

QUESTION:
Why is this even being prescribed when all these innocent people are dying??

based on how your own doctor handles you when you see him in the office or in the hospital?

I was robbed yesterday when someone mace or pepper sprayed my room trying to spray me. I didn't suffer any demise from it but it may have gotten into the rolling tobacco. He's complaining of his chest hurting now,real bad. Can this be from the spray? Should I take him to the ER?

I change the bandage every few hours and it is always covered in blood. The wound is not very big and I dont think it is very deep. It doesnt really bleed that much just a little bit but it still hasnt stopped. I cleaned it with peroxide and cold water.

She trys several times a day with only a small amount of soft stool coming out, not hard. This has been going on for about of month. At first I thought she was constipated and gave her an enema after trying sencot and suppository. The stool that came out after the enema was not hard stool. Right now I'am giving her 2 teaspoons of mineral oil a day, water, prune apple juice, fresh fruit and vegtables, I have cut out anything I think that might be constipating. After 4 days of her trying to go and she cant, I give her sencot or a suppository and the last few times that didnt work and gave her an enema. I dont uderstand why she cant poop, she was going every day, and now its every 4 days with the help of sencot, a suppository or an enema. I do not like giving her suppositorys, enemas, or sencot because I dont want her dependent on them. Why cant she push the poop out when it is soft stool and not hard?

I was crouching and pushing a pile of freight when all of a sudden I felt almost like a crunching sensation in the back of my knee. It hurts when I move it, and on top of that my boss wouldn't let me go home. So for 9 hours I've been limping on it. I went and bought an ace bandage at lunch and wrapped it, but that didn't seem to help. Now that I've gotten a better look at it and am home, it appears that the back of my knee is grey and purple and there are a lot of purple veins leading to the area. I think it's swollen in the back as well. There's a soft lump kind of hanging down from the knee, it doesn't seem to be as loose on my other one. Any ideas?

I was watching an older wilderness show (70s) where a guy was helping a doctor in remote villages in Africa treat the people with wounds. While he was doing this, they were sprinkling a white, powdery substance onto any wounds before bandaging them up.

Anyone have a clue what that powdery substance was/is?

Okay, just assuming that I disregarded that caution on not to put the entire qtip in your ear, what would happen if the cotton swab came off and was stuck in your ear.

Wow I feel like I'm 5 again.
