Methadone is a nightmarea when you're on it, a horrendously bad trip when you try to get off it and even when you are off it (the 0.001% who do and don't relapse within a month) are left with the longest lasting PAWs, permanent mental damage. no better off than they previously were and forever branded as a junkie, even if they have been clean for decades or placed on the program, for pain (which it doesn't even work wor).
LLiquid handcuffs is an inadequate way to describe it. It's a death sentence. Once you've made the step, there''s no turning back. It's more like being bound, chained, drawn and quartered in solitary confienment in gitmo with no chance of recovery, this is just to yourself physically. I won't go into the mental details, but another major positive of this "hugely successful opiod treatment program" is the fact tat you will never have a normal life again. You will be forever sugject to discriminitation in all works of life, have the whole medical profession look down at you like some kind of drug seeking leper with hypochondria and no chance of rehabilitation, unless you drink the fould tasting liquid fo rthe rest of your life. Then you only get treated like a leper, not a drug seeking terrorist even though you simply want antibiotics because your face is starting to peel off. (It's all the drugs, stop taking the drugs and all your problems with wither away and die, just like I hope you do) This is being said to you while being suicidally depressed, in agonizing pain and gettnig absolutely no sympathy or understanding at all from a medication that they sometimes forced onto you in the first place.
I would never recommend methadone to anybody. I wouldn't discourage it either, but there is no way in enlightened peace that I could ever encourage somebody to start a methadone treatment.
Fucking drug war.
Bupe is a little better, I suppose. But here's a novel idea. Give a heroin addict... HEROIN. a morphine addict... MORPHINE, an oxy addict... Let me see. OZY. There goes 95 percent of all the megatives. What rational reason is there apart from these drugs last longer? What about fast metabolises you need to use methadone at least twice dailyanyway? "Oh, they're only despicable junkies, they're probably lying so they can get more of thie shitty drug that barely helpe at all except for keeping the withdrawals away. No matter they still can't work regular jobs, their metnal health and the root causes of them are still very much apparent. Let's give them every anti-depressant under the sun, even though know they work just as good as placebos and have horrendous side-effects as well.: Hahaa.
Paxman vs Brand
One more thought, Methadone is like the popular Eagles Song: Hotel California.
