"Methadone absolutely saved my life. I know 15 years is a long time to be on a medication but without it, I would be, without a doubt, dead. I lost my best friend in the whole world to me to heroin, as well as my husband. I am now a mom, I work a full-time job, and I go to work every day. I have my own home. I might not have everything everyone would want, but I have everything I need, and so do my children. Without the methadone, I would have nothing, so this drug has done miracles for my life, and anyone with opiate addiction that can’t seem to find another way out, I highly, highly recommend it!"

"I have been on Methadone Diskets for heroin addiction for 12 years. Seems like a long time? Not really. This program has kept me from relapsing and enabled me to work and function without cravings or pain. If I have to stay on this program forever, that's okay with me. I love having my life and family back."

"If I hadn't made the decision to begin methadone, I don't know where I would be. It wasn't an easy choice at all, but now I am so glad I did it. It's literally saved my life, my relationships, and my future!"

"It's helped me with my dependence, and it really works well to stave off withdrawal. The negatives outweigh the positives for me. This drug has caused me to gain a lot of weight, mostly from fluid retention. It's very hard to come off, you have to taper very slowly, like a mg a week, or you'll feel like crap. If you don't have insurance, you have to pay $400 a month where I live to go to a methadone clinic. This drug also cuts off your sex drive, I used to be a very sexual person, and now I have little to no desire for sex anymore. If you're on a high dose, on most days you'll feel out of it and very sleepy, so it's important that you tell your doctor/nurse the truth about your dose, you don't want to be on too high, nor too low of a dose."

"Starting methadone was definitely one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. I look much healthier, and on top of all that, I got an excellent job. Now I don't have to worry about being sick, methadone is amazing!"

"I've been taking Methadone disks for 5 years after a long battle with pain that led to illicit use of injectables. This has saved my life, family, and health. I have absolutely zero cravings nor desire to return to my previous lifestyle."

"I had a bad injury years ago, resulting in a rather large prescription for hydrocodone. So I was like, awesome, a legal script. Little did I know just how quickly I could become dependent. Soon it was oxy, roxy, morphine, luckily, no needles. Then it was all my free time, money, payday advances, check cashing, pure misery to just feel normal and not ill. I'm sure many have been through it. I had heard about a clinic close by, and it took away all the daily stress and saved me probably thousands of dollars. Hours of time and supervised help. It was my choice. I'm at 160 mg, so it will be a while before I'm completely free, but the progress I've made already is unbelievable. I've even told my parents. Best choice ever."

"Starting the methadone treatment was the best thing for me. It saved my life, turned my life around for the better, just when I thought I was at the end of the rope, that I just wanted to die. Someone told me about the methadone, I tried it, and it worked."

"Methadone Maintenance Therapy, or MMT, quite literally saved my life. Yes, there are side effects such as weight gain, low testosterone levels, and excess sweating or flushing. But now I am back in college majoring in Psychology with a minor in Neuroscience. I had been treated inpatient at one of the best hospitals in the country. They used Methadone initially to get me over withdrawal symptoms, along with other medicines such as clonazepam and clonidine. Sadly, I eventually relapsed, and it eventually took MMT to help me get back on track. I hope to use what I know about addiction to help others. It's not perfect, but MMT saved me and my relationships with my family. MMT should only be used as a last resort, it is not an 'easy way out'."

"I have been on a Methadone maintenance program since May 12, and it has helped me so much! It took my withdrawals away the first day and has kept me from having cravings for the prescription pain medication that I was dependent on. Methadone is a lifesaver!"

"It made me be able to function in society like I used to be able to before I got addicted to Lortab. I have more confidence now. I find that 115 mg a day fits me. Everyone is different, though. I can sleep well through the night, also."

"Choosing methadone for me was an awful idea. If you are just orally taking opiates, then you can detox yourself. Turning to methadone for opiate addiction is a mistake! Its detox is way worse than prescribed or unprescribed pain medication! I was taking up to 10 Hydrocodone 1000 mg pills a day. Then switched to 25 mg of methadone, I thought it was great until I decided I did not want to be on either!"

"I took Methadone for 2 years for back pain. I never used it for heroin addiction. After I stopped using it (which was 3 years ago), I still cannot be medicated with any of the other opiates, or any type of tranquilizer, not even cold medicine. All my doctor could say was, I've got a lot of patients like you. What the heck does that mean, that I'm on my own? Next time I have surgery, I guess I drink a fifth of whiskey and bite the bullet? Does anyone have a medicine that can help reverse this?"

"I'm a 46-year-old male who has been opiate dependent for over 20 years. My main drug was heroin. I've been on Methadone off and on since 1993. I live in Greenville, SC. I've been on Methadone this time for over 12 years. With this 'opiate crisis' and fentanyl in any heroin around, yes, Methadone is dependent, but it's saved my life!!! I was also in a severe car wreck and now I'm loaded with titanium. Due to the wreck, I have chronic right femur pain where I had a compound fracture, and it works better than anything else I've been on, like Dilaudid, MS Contin, Opana, etc. Anyway, it's like everything in this world, it's a double-edged sword."

"I have been on Methadone since 2017, off and on. I am currently on the dispersible Diskets. I have also been on the red liquid. I was a homeless addict, and now I am housed, working, and back in school. I could never do that while being a heroin addict. Can't do anything while you are in withdrawal. I'm not going to lie, I enjoy using, but I enjoy my life even better. Being able to pay a bill or buy something I want is a GREAT feeling. You have to make a choice: do you want to keep using or be sick? You don't have to be on Methadone for the rest of your life, unless you want to. Good luck to you."

"I was doing any and all narcotics that I could get my hands on. Now I'm taking 100 mg of methadone a day. I honestly think it saved my life. I know it's saved my marriage."
