My niece who was 25 years old died of an over dose of methadone. She did not have a prescription for methadone, but her husband did. The autopsy said it was methadone that killed her. I’m still just trying to understand what has happened. We had no idea that she had a problem, but her husband did because he told the police she had a long history of drug abuse, which was strange to me since they’d only been together a little ove a year. She was 25 years old left behind a son who is 7 and a daughter who is 1 year old. I just don’t believe it. He’s the one with a long history of drug abuse, not her.

I agree with the fact that this drug should be illegal, but the true fact of the matter is. If this drug is legally found to be the killer that it is, than the Clinics
will be liable and class action suit will be inevitable. I am sure there is much more to the whole picture than we laypeople understand.
I lost my son to a drug that was being sold on the streets by a stupid individual that just gave it to him while he was intoxicated. I will never see my son again and I cry each and every day. I am forced to live here without him and go on. His children are so beautiful and he never got to meet his little princess, you see his wife was pregnant. This young man will live his life and never pay the price for stealing away my precious son. These clinics will steal away the lives of so many more,until this poison is taken off the market. Unfortunately noone wants to fight hard enough to make anyone pay. This is a RX to murder!!!!! METHADONE!!!! And as for the addicted who stand bye there drug I understand but you wouldn’t trade my pain for yours , unfortunately mine can’t be covered up by pain killers.

Two weeks ago today i went to wake my fiance up who had just engaged to me two days before…and he was breathing funny and wasnt responding so i called 911. a few minute after they got there he fell out and it took them 21 mins to revive him. He is still in a coma and i have lost my one and only love to the ridiculous amount of methadone his doctor perscribed him. he is breathing on his own and has a feeding tube in but its been a good amount of time. was your partner ok once he came out of the coma or did he have to go to a long term recovery center?? im not sure how it works, but im only 24 and would never wish this on anyone…my hearts go out to all the others who have dealt with the same thing

My dear sister passed away from a Methadone overdose October 2011. She was a 33 year old mother to two young boys, a devoted older sister and a wonderful daughter. We don’t know how she got this drug or why she even took it.
Our days are extremely difficult without her…
I had no idea this drug was such a killer…

oh my god… the amount of crap on here. hahahaha JAME’S 4 day’s detox from herion to be free from it…hahahahaha it takes weeks sometime’s month’s dont u think if it were 4 day’s everyone would just stop…and saying that children can get there hands on it… how when it’s in a child proof bottle with cap so inless u leave it open without the lid than noway they can open it. i see you have read a few statement’s from the internet of the actual information on methodone as i see “word 4 word” that u have copied, but thats it, u make me sick making up thing’s. maybe go get the correct information before making out u are actually on the stuff. i can allway’s tell a liar n u most defenatly take the biscuit. haha and what the hell are you talking about… herion was used to cure opium addiction n turnend out to be more addictive??????? what???? opium is herion…..so what the hell u going on about???? like i said u have read a few article’s on herion and methodone and tried to make a story n put urself in there. i see what u are doing you are trying to pick out thing’s and get people to agree and think bout certain thing’s like “the child can think it’s candy” everyone no’s that is will all pills or medication it’s upto the adult not to leave it were the child can get hold of it. than we have u saying that u held down a job and did better when on herion… which u just there trying to make out herion is better…when anyone who no’s n has been on will tell u.. IT IS NOT… and u say u are on methodone now and it does not do anything for ur recovery…well that just show’s u aint even on it. many thing’s you have said are untrue and anyone who read’s ur comment will see that. on the other hand the people who have not ACTUALLY been on herion and methodone as a way of getting drug free will not have anything from them selfs to go on, methodone has helped many people to get drug free yeah there are bad side’s mainley death’s with too higher dose and that’s alot more with people without opiate addiction. so why do you not switch to suboxone or subitex than if u do not want to withdraw from methodone? ha n u just shot urself in the foot….IF METHODONE DOES NOTHING TO HELP YOU…THAN WHY ARE YOU OF HERION NOW THAN??? you would have stopped methodone long time ago “IF U ARE ADDICT AND ARE NOW OFF IT AND ON METHODONE THAT IS” also one last thing that i have noticed which make’s all your comment just picked at from actual information on the subject and you a liar, not that i needed to write all this people who have actualy or are in the situation of being in treatment trying to get clean will see all you have wrote too to be faulse,but for those who have not. you say that u got of herion BUT METHODONE DIDNT HELP OR IS NOT ANY HELP AT ALL. than why did it help you get free of herion, also you say you are trying to get free of methodone addiction now… hmmm well no doctor or drug worker will even alow u to be on this long woth just methodone as you got of the drugs you done need it, they will ween u off it till u off completely. no team would allow u top be on as long as two years a. becuase of the fact you are of herion and like i said they have to ween you of meth once you are free from herion. b. because now there is a new law people and x addict’s are not aloud to be on methodone for long time no more because of herion user’s using the system to keep ion herion and keep on meth “because some dont want to get of”. ok think you have had enough of my time. should not have wrote at all but to ppl who are ignorant to the fact’s reading your comment’s could put someone in danger if they take on some of the thing’s you have said. i just hope none has tried to do the 4 day detox as they will be in alot of disconfort for a hell of alot longer without methodone or any other medication to help them with the cum down.
