"i took this drug for 27 years.  worked like a charm.  then, my doc cut me off.  bad drug, etc.  i had withdrawal for one solid year.  i was all over the place.  i even found myself stopped in the middle of the highway for no reason.  i couldn&#039;t even work. the withdrawal is the worst part.  this miracle drug helped me but it is like someone kicking a herion addiction, methadone needs to be taken for life.  my drug use didn&#039;t increase so that was not a problem.  i had the same usage everyday. two .05 mg but the withdrawal kicked my ass. i would not tell anyone to take this long term."
