re: Have any of you had experience with both Methadone and Suboxone?

The whole point of methadone originally was that it was a strong pain reliever that doesn’t give you a buzz (which is why they use it to get people off drugs). Geez...how much methadone are people taking that they get a buzz from it?

Sounds crazy, but Bayer claimed heroin was less prone to abuse than morphine. Various opiates since have been marketed this way: methadone, suboxone, tramadol... medical science is honestly kind of full of crap when it comes to pharmaceutical chemistry. They rely on statistics, e.g. "we don't know exactly what this crap is, but we did a huge study and people who took it did better."

Care to elaborate on that?

They both suck arse to get off of. That said, subs are the lesser of 2 evils.

Many people take methadone just bc it gets then high when they go to take their morning dose.

But, like I said, sub maintenance is much better and can be prescribed by a doctor. Methadone, you'll have to go to the clinic every morning to get it.

Like I said, do the sub maintenance. Both are hard to get off of, but subs you can work your way down or just do it for a short period that makes it a lot easier to get off of than methadone.
