My pharmacy, Express Scripts, called me yesterday and told me that as of 1/01/08 I could no longer get Methadone 40mg wafers. I have been on them for years for chronic pain and they are by far the best form of opiate to control pain. They did say that Methadose 40mg would still be available for opiate withdrawal. Now instead of taking two a day I'll have to take eight 10 mg pills aday. It doesn't make sense to me.

What is street value of 25mg of methadone tablets?

Y Actually, there isn't a 25mg methadone pill. They come in 5, 10, and 40mg tablets and also liquid form. If someone is telling you there is a 25mg tablet of methadone, it is either not methadone, or a different milligram. Now of course this is by FDA standards. If you actually find a 25mg methadone pill, it is not regulated by the FDA and therefore you should be very cautious before taking anything that is not approved by the FDA.
