I think it's great that somebody actually put up the facts about the possibility of the death from withdrawl or overdose. I used to snort, swallow, and even plug (sadly) Oxy 80's for years. I only shot up less than a dozen times and the junk was mediocre at best. I am now a slave to 80mg's of methadone and I am terrified of getting off of it. Because of it ridiculously long half life the withdrawls are horriffic...ten, maybe a hundred times worse than any other oipiate/opioid. And I have to shell out $250.00 a month for this splash of pink syrup. The only way to get off of it I seen is Ibogaine, only available in Mexico at ridiculously expensive clinics. So, Thanks for your post, I want to get this terrible Methadone Monkey off my back, and it's breaking the bank to boot. I'm jobless (after working at a 5 star restaurant for 5 years) due to cutbacks in staff, and every penny I have goes to methadone. (Luckily, I have an understanding roommate who is in the same situation, but he is on disability, and his parents are loaded. Somebody please tell me how to get off this god awful S**t.
