With all the methadone/methadone clinic bashing I read here on bl, it would be nice to hear some praise and success stories from people who are currently excelling in/enjoying MMT.

I am about to start MMT, and every thing I read about the 'done are horror stories.

This is the thread for all of you proud and happy methadone patients to come together and give the other side of the story...

So what do you love about MMT?

(Mods, please don't merge this , the purpose of this thread makes it out of place in the megathread.)
 
Well like everyone else i guess it gives a huge sense of comfort if you have spent some amount of your life fighting off withdrawal with heroin daily. So i guess i could say i love that about mmt.

But i'm sorry i just can't see what there is to love with MMT, it's more of an end of the line, lesser of two evils type of choice to go on MMT. It destroys any recreational relationship you ever used to have with ALL opioids. You want to start methadone thats good and well, just make sure you realise what it's going to do to your tolerance and quicker than you think, your entire ability to even get off from opiates.

Then before not too long, you kinda realise well i'm 'stable' on my 100mg or whatever a day of methadone, but this whole methadone game has it's own little internal politics and bullshit to deal with, and trust me it does. Then the deeper realisation hits you after you have had a relapse or to and have become pissed off with how little you felt of your heroin, you start to realise jesus christ my opioid tolerance is overall higher than it has ever been... On top of this, methadone's withdrawals are weeks long, a painful hellish cunt drawn out process.

So now you're half a year into your methadone, maybe you have done something silly things and have felt methadone withdrawal, by this stage you're really starting to realise just how serious methadone really is. And you weigh up everything, hmm.. my tolerance is skyhigh, my withdrawals and completely unbearable without methadone, even if i double my methadone dose it dosnt get me high, forget trying to even feel other opiates at non insane doses and you are more stuck than ever on opioids. And your stuck feeling like a second class citizen everytime you have to go line up in the chemist for the methadone you now literally cannot face life without.

Sorry to be so negative there, but MMT is serious. And there's nothing to love about it. Theres nothing that is lovely about opioid addiction. There's nothing to love about not even being able to get high anymore, whilest being more addicted than ever on a drug that refuses to get you high even if you double the dose and have the next day off.

Methadone really is only a great option when the alternative is being sick as a dog on the street and all that shit. And you are totally finished with recreational use and are 100% ready to not be able to get high.

Sorry to be so negative haden, but dude you're gunna realise methadone is just another trap, and you're gunna grow tired of that too, and you're going to end up getting to a point where you just want to be fucking normal and away from all of this degrading shit, but by then it's way too fucking hard to just will yourself through cold turkey... Spend a year depressingly reducing your dose..... Coming from someone on methadone...
 
If you'd like to praise methadone, do so in the methadone mega thread. Given that this is a harm reduction site, I don't think its beneficial to only solicit one side of it. None of us have some inherent bias against methadone so what you find is what the people who have experiences with it have shared. Just because the picture they paint isn't want you have experienced or what you want the situation to be, doesn't mean its inaccurate.

If you think I'm wrong, please feel free to PM me and make your case. I would've preferred to merge this into the methadone mega thread but since you asked not to, for now I'm closing it.
