Methadone is best described as a Double-Edged Sword.Sure,it helps a lot of addicts to control cravings,and gives a whole lot of Chronic Pain Patients their lives back(I am one of them,I have no insurance and cnnot afford any of the other pain meds).That is the staple of Methadone,as far as chronic pain folks with no insurance go,but I would love nothing more than to be off of that crap!.I cannot sleep worth a hoot during the night,come morning I,m REALLY ready to sleep!I get up about Noon,get up,take a bunch of pills,and go run a Fitness business that I started 2 years ago,come home and get wound down by 11:00-12:00 that evening.After an hour,I,m trying to sleep for the next 10-12 hours.Methadone can control at least half of each 24 hr. day I live,just in trying to get enough adequate rest.Festus
