I don't think methadone would help with a meth addiction.

Methadone is a pretty lousy opiate so I guess it depends on what you want to spend and how desperate to be opiated you are.

Nah methadone is used to help heroin addicts with cravings. And it's also used as a painkiller. And no, you should not have taken it. It's really not worth it, I was on it for awhile for an injury. If you want an opiate, try a different painkiller.

i'd disagree, a good solid dose of methadone (assuming you don't have serious heroin tolerance) gets me nicely nodded for a long time - probably the strangest thing about it, that you'll wake up still feeling fucked up..

Why do people wanna fall asleep? I dunno Opiates make me dope sick. Not like harcore dope sick, but i vomit like a mofo. I don't know how methadone works but if its like heroin no thanks. Nothing spells a party better then a bunch of nodding out people!
On a side note. One time i had a busted out window on tour and i was in NYC and we crashed at a buddies house. So i parked my car infront of a methadone clinic. I told the guy that was sitting on the steps waiting for the place to open that if my stuff was there along with my car that i would hook him up when we leave in the morning. Surely my stuff was all there as well as the guy so i gave him 20 bucks.

methadone has a long half-life in the body, something like 24 hours (compared to morphine's 6) - after spending a week constantly popping 10mg methadoses every 6 hours or so (and the past weeks before that taking morphine daily), i had a few days of body cramping, nausea, headaches, and general 'feeling shitty and out of it'.
all things in moderation, i painfully learned.
and it (and most opiates) definitely isn't a party drug. but people annoy me, i prefer to sit in a rocking chair on my porch, nodding out and accidently burning myself with lit cigarettes

NO...methadone imo is a scam to make money off junkies...ask most heroin addicts what they think about it and you'll see what I mean...once u go on methadone u never go off methadone...u simply cannot go cold turkey off the shit and u only get a slight high when getting your dose upped and even then its a dopey intoxication not a euphoria really
this is based on what I've talked to others about...when I went into a clinic the doctor was completely trying to bs me...I felt like he was trying to sell me a time share...when I told him no he wouldn't let me leave...made me watch one of the lamest videos I've ever seen....there are certain ppl with habits so bad its possibly a good idea...but for most its a step in the wrong direction

i'd definitely agree that once you go on it (in an attempt to quit using heroin), you'll probably never get off it. and as well, if you are a heroin user, methadone will pretty much only fix you, not get you high. if you aren't a heavy opiate user/junky, tho, it'll definitely get you off. and really, for the "incurable" junky, taking (legal) methadone once daily will allow you to interact with society much more than maintaining a steady junk habit.

if the idea of being opiated in a very, very heavy way for well over 12 hours, and feeling it for 24+, interests you then yeah you should have.
it's my favorite pill but that's probably not a good thing

I was on methadone one time. I sat up all night and talked to my girlfriend at the time about everything. I sat there drinking glasss after glass of Bailey's and talking up a storm. I had a pretty good experience on it. No trouble sleeping and the next day went over pretty well for having done a heavy opiate the night before.
