Is methadone stronger than heroin

Answer 1

In ways... It last way longer and is far more easy too overdose on caus ppl think its safe and really all methadone is a strong painkiller.. If you dont have an opiate toleance dont mess with it... It can easily kill in small doses if some one is just looking to catch a buzz

Answer 2

Yes, coming from a person who has went through methadone withdrawal before I was prescribed to it, it is the hardest drug to get off of therefore I wouldn't recommend going on it unless you are REALLY BAD hooked on opiates or unable to get off drugs on your own. Methadone should be a last resort, because it is much, MUCH easier to get off opiates then methadone. Actually, I would consider opiates like Oxycontin and Morphine a joke considered to methadone withdrawal. I wish I could go back and quit Oxycontin cold turkey rather then starting to take methadone.

I see kids around here that take opiates like Oxycontin for a few months, then go get prescribed to methadone. They have no idea what they are getting into and are basically ruining their life because they are getting addicted to the most intense and hardest drug to get off of bar none. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise, methadone withdrawal is the worst, period. The hardest drug to get off of, period. Unless you are slowly weened off it by a professional, but even then it still is not fun.

I would not wish methadone withdrawal on my worst enemy, that's how bad it is.

So if you have a choice to go on a methadone maintenance program if you are hooked on opiates, I would try to go to a detoxification in a hospital and try to get off them cold turkey before going to methadone, because it will take a lot longer and be a lot more painful and harder to get off methadone. Guaranteed. Take the advice from six years of experience on methadone and ten years experience on opiates.
