I'm a nurse and this medication is normally given to people who are trying to get off of heroin. If the person takes both heroin and the methadone it can turn fatal due to an overdose. You see this is a substitute of heroin and shouldn't be taken together. If a person has heroin for the day then they should not have the methadone. Unfortunately heroin is one of the toughest drugs to kick. I hope this information is useful, take care.

my husband use to get methadone for his pain but was told is very bad for you so he is on the fentenol patch . methadone is also used for heroin addicts to help them withdrawl but if you aren't careful its very easy to overdose or stop breathing in your sleep my addvise is try to see if there is another kind of pain killer that isn't so harsh try the pain patch good luck to you and be careful .

My wife takes it for pain management. So far she has totalled out 2 vehicles. The last one was a multiple time roll-over. But, the doctor keeps prescribing it for her back pain. They've taken off the stronger stuff they had her on before the wrecks. It sucks!
