METHADOSE  (METHADONE HYDROCHLORIDE):  This medication is used to treat severe ongoing pain (such as due to cancer). Methadone belongs to a class of drugs known as opioid (narcotic) analgesics. It works in the brain to change how your body feels and responds to pain. Do not use this medication to relieve pain that is mild or that will go away in a few days (such as pain from surgery). This medication is not for occasional ("as needed") use. This medication is also used to treat addiction to opioids (such as heroin) as part of an approved treatment program. It helps prevent withdrawal symptoms caused by stopping other opioids.    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 4  MMT I have had alot of weight gain, but the most bothersome side effects are constipation (which comes with taking ANY opiate) and the bad swelling of my hands and legs. Also a dramatic loss of my sex drive! I was on the orange 40mg diskettes prior to using the cherry liquid methadone and my dose had to be increased by 80 mgs!! Just to get the same effect! But once at the stable dose, things as far as craving and withdrawal are totally non-exsistant! Thank God! F 35 3 years

 1  opiate addiction The cherry liquid seemed to cause terrible heartburn along with some mild swelling of my ankles and such. The cherry liquid seems to be a inferior product and though it may come on a bit faster it leaves the body very fast and does not hold well at all. F 38 1 years

 1  that is what our clinic offers need to split doses, experience side effects earlier in the day, legs start to cramp earlier on, irratable, sleep less, It's not a great drug, you need more increases, and on top of it you need to take another drug, potassium, to help it stay in your system longer....need to split your doses into two's or three's.
