Methadone, yes it is very very addictive, yes withdraw is a very horrible experience. However, Oxycotin has far worse withdraw than Methadone and I know this from my personal experience. Yes many people die from abusing methadone and thats the key to any bad experience with methadone, ABUSE!
I have had three low back surgeries and a peace of bone cut off my hip and grafted onto my spine in the last fourteen years and yet I still suffer with nerve pain into my legs so I have learned quite a bit about pain meds..
I can tell you this, methadone is a very good pain med if you take it like the doctor tells you to, if you don't well then you are in danger of death. Thats what I am trying to tell anyone listening to this that there are very good pain meds today even some that last up to 24 hours and almost all of them are safe IF taken correctly as the doctor prescribes. Yes most of the best pain meds are addictive, but if you are like me and will have severe pain for the rest of your life are until science finds a cure for pain then what does it matter if its addictve because like the doctors told me if I was going to have any quality of life at all then you will need to take your pain meds and if science finds a cure then deal with it when it comes. Last word, don't
abuse your pain meds like I did when I was first injured because it will only make your problem much worse, and if you have talk to your doctor about it, he can help much more than you know.
May God bless and help you....

Shelly sorry but it is methadone is very addictive I been on it for years, in gets in your bone marrow and is much harder to come off than herion. it has a half life of near 24 hours? overdose in quite common these days. Again thanks to Hitler and when they were cut off of their oppium supply thay mase there own for pain and to keep troop warm in cold climate wars.

methodone is used to treat people w/herione, pill, and some crack and coke addictions. It isn't addictive it just keeps you from having withdrawals from these other things. You can take this drug and not feel any high off it if you keep taking the same dose and not upping it. It is to control your withdrawal simptoms. What else would u like to know? It works for it's perposse.

Found this quote in another newsgroup:

------------
In blind trials, users who were given both drugs orally were unable to
distinguish between the effects heroin and methadone.


Withdrawal from heroin should be over after seven to ten days. Withdrawal
from methadone though, can take up to a month or even longer.


Many former heroin users have claimed that the horrors of heroin
withdrawal were far less painful and difficult than withdrawal from
methadone.


Methadone is a synthetic drug. It was first invented in Germany during
the Second World War by scientists who, having discovered pethidine some
years earlier, were developing other similar compounds.


The effects of methadone last longer than those of morphine-based drugs.
Methadone's effects can last up to 24 hours.


Deaths occur more frequently at the beginning of treatment in methadone
programs; they are usually a cause of excessive doses (i.e. erroneously
estimated tolerance).


Methadone generally entails the entire spectrum of opioid side effects,
including the development of tolerance and physical and psychological
dependence.


Individuals are as physically dependent on methadone as they were to
heroin or other opiates, such as Oxycotin or Vicodin.


The most common side effects of Methadone are: drowsiness;
lightheadedness, weakness, euphoria, dry mouth, urinary retention,
constipation, and slow or troubled breathing.


Ironically, methadone used to control narcotic addiction is frequently
encountered on the illicit market and has been associated with a number
of overdose deaths.


Methadone comes as tablets, dispersible tablets, liquid, and liquid
concentrate.


Methadone is one of the most difficult drugs to detox from since its
effects are long-lasting and it is readily stored in the body's tissue.
