I've been on it for 12 years. After a surgery went bad my doctor overdosed me accidentally on methadone.I was on a external pacemaker for 72 hors. It feels like your getting punched in the heart. I've known several addicts and several pain patients on methadone. It is dangerous and once taken you'll be on it forever.A methadone clinic can help you. Do you have state assistance you can qualify for? I'm not trying to ***** it scares the hell out of me what you are about to do. But my oh my you'll be dead if you start at the methadone clinic dose of 100-150mg What you want to know is 5-10mg once or twice a day. Are you taking it for pain or addiction. Even addicts can be treated with narcotics. They just need higher doses but have a right to be treated for the pain.

First, I don't think I need it...nor would I want to. Second, thanks for sharing your experience and I hope that it may help people facing that decision.
