I am under methadone since 1991 and i won’t never get off this shit. I took it for years so if i had no cash for heroine, i was never turkey.
In switzerland when they first introduce it, the patient had to be clean each time he saw the doctor , if he had taken heroine, they stopped the methadone. But around 1990, the swiss governement writte a note to the doctors that it was no more an obligation to stay clean, cuz it was lowering very much the little criminality as stealing handbags from old grand mothers in the street for example and it worked, THE CRIMINALITY DROPPED DOWN; BUT, this medicament is real shit cuz the addiction is much more heavy than heroin, once you are addicted to it takes years to get off it.
i would adwise people to use methadone only if they are sure they won’t take heroine again, and beginning with very little doses (it should not make you nose dive), beginning with 30 mg (best 15mg in the morning and 15 in the evening) and each day 2mg down, (so 1mg less in the evening and 1 in the morning down until 10 mg and then (5 morning, 4 evening), and continuing until 0.
Here in switzerland they give really too high doses. my is 137,5 mg per day and they give me for 2 weeks, but i came down easely to 50 mg now, and the rest i sell or offer. But better never begin heroin, either not falling in methadone addiction like i am.
