"i have been on methadone for the last 5 years now and actually have a life beyond the usual opiate daze!i have a pretty high dose of 190 ml per day but have had a few times when i had blood clots that i needed something added to it for a few weeks, usually oxycodone, this helps but the beauty of it is i don&#039;t get the typical &quot;high&quot; one would get from it because of the methadone, but i do get the benefit of the pain management from it!methadone saved my marriage  and my life! i encourage anyone who has been on opioids and is having difficulty functioning their day to day life to give it a try.i know only certain dr are aloud to prescribe this medication but there are always methadone clinics they&#039;re very knowledgeable about this! good luck!"
