Treatment for Heroin Addicts Now a Lethal Pain Medication?
EmailA prescription drug used to treat heroin addicts has become an increasingly popular and effective pain medication. But there’s a problem. Methadone, well-known to heroin addicts, has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration, the FDA, as a pain medication. The catch is that it’s much more potent than almost any other pain medication. Now many doctors are concerned the powerful drug is being over prescribed and is proving too strong for people not used to it. In the last four years methadone-related deaths increased three-fold to nearly 2,500, according to the Centers for Disease Control. "Common sense would dictate that there may be more of a problem with how the drug is used than the drug itself," said Dr. Michael Ferrante of the Pain Management Center at UCLA Medical Center. The manufacturers of methadone, including the American company Tyco, have seen their profits skyrocket as its approved use has spread beyond heroin addicts.

One particular journalist needs to investigate what he reports, the Dope! Methadone is a Heroin substitute, used to treat Heroin addiction. The antidote, or opiate antagonists would be naloxone (Narcan) or naltrexone, that would plug the opioid receptors preventing the opioids from plugging in. The journalist may want to make use of his handy dandy dictionary as well.

I have chronic pain from fybromyalgia and finally found a physician who wasnt afraid to precribe meds strong enough to effect pain relief in me. At one point in my treatment he prescribed Methadone for 21 days, and it broke the pain cycle and i was pain free. He has not prescribed it
again – he is very careful, but the previous emailers were very emotional about this issue – sounds like they are ex-junkies and had a bad experience with methadone. i agree that the term ‘antidote’ is very incorrect. Methadone simply blocks the receptors that heroine uses, so an addict cannot get high on heroin. Just because a unimformed journalist uses an incorrect term is no reason to be abusive.

I recently had a friend die from methodone addiction. The only thing was that she was not addicted to heroin in the first place; or really any other drug to be honest. Methodone was a “legal” high for her. She became highly addicted to the methodone and it outrages me that it could have been noticed by proper authority had they not been so GREEDY FOR THE MONEY.

Paul, No one used the word antidote except you, or even suggested the concept. Methadone isn’t an antidote, because it doesn’t cure addiction, it just suppresses the symptoms of withdrawl. To do this, it has to be strong, and I assume that something that strong has its dangers.
But in the 21st century there’s no excuse for over-prescribing anything, either dosage or frequency. We have decades of experience with strong drugs and should know better.

Paul, OK, sorry, someone did say antidote. My apologies, the only posts that showed up when I posted were yours and jimmi’s, although the ones that mentioned antidotes seem to have later time stamps than yours. Odd.

Methadone has been used for years to treat pain. Pain is not a new indication for methadone. When writing an RX for methadone the provider writes that the methadone is for pain. It’s a great drug, no highs since it is a long acting drug. It’s a good drug to get people off Oxycontin. Plus it costs a fraction of oxycontin. Too bad it has a stigma associated with it and the use of illegal drugs.

OK, now I see it. The link is called antidote_for_he. Weird. I assume the name of the article originally used the word antidote. Yeah, that was dumb.
Cheryl, in a sense, the public will always be guinea pigs. Drug testing is done on a relatively small population compared to the population that will end up using it.
This does not apply here, however; methadone has been used on tens (hundreds?) of thousands of addicts for decades. And it has long been understood that since their tolerances are higher due to their drug use they have to have higher doses than a non-addict. Dosages that would kill a non-addict, actually. I know that. Doctors certainly should.

We have a methadone clinic in our area. It is abused by the addicts. There is also another drug used for addiction, buphenorphine. It to has been abused by addicts. I know this to be true, my daughter is an addict that has experienced buphenorphine. (unsure if spelled correctly) I was responsible for administering the medication for about three days, until she was selling her pills and using heroin. The doctor asked me what I expected from the program? I told her that I didn’t expect my daughter to sell her pills. It is a money racket for doctors. There isn’t enough room in my comment to get into the entire story.

I watched my mom die very slowly, painfully, from cancer. Thanks to methadone, she did not suffer as much during the worst part of her pain. Used incorrectly, methadone is like any other habit-forming drug, abuse will kill you.

For all of the comments listed, most didn’t seem to actually read the article. The only place it talked about methadon being an “antidote” was in the link to the article, not in the article itself. Methadon like all other opiates or synthetic derivatives, can be abused by those with a propensity for addiction, but are a valuable drug for the control of pain.

I just read the remarks on Methadone and want to say that we who have chronic Real Pain do NOT have a high when we use it. We have Relief. A high is the last thing we are after. Our dose is much lower than a recovering addict would need. It has been foud that people who have real pain do ot get high n these drugs. We know when it hits the Pin Control center of the brain…often we will ‘sweat’ for a brief spell as it takes control fo the pain. Then we too can begin to live a normal day or get to enjoy real sleep. I have been on this drug for several years in a dose of 10 mg every 5 to 6 hrs as needed for pain from being struck when I was 40 yrs old by a truck. I have many allegies to many of the pain releiving drugs, asprine,codine and most of my famly does too. Narcotics’s are the only drugs I Can take safely. I would give most anything to be able to take a sprine and have it all gone. Prehaps only those who have lived with real and chronic pain for days without end what it is like to have a drug that we can take that allows us toin the world and live again. So while you may not like the drug or thefact that it is mostly associated with the addicts and their long struggle to recover Please do Not condemn the drug or the use of it for pain management. WE have written contracts that require us to take a drug test anytime our physcian or law enforcement request it…seven days, 24 hr’s of the day. We have to bring out bottles to each visit toshow the dr’s how many we have. I am gratefull to have the option of having releif from my paim. I am trying tosave the other drugs for post op’s. So my brin will not ‘know’ them and they will work. I am also a brest cancer Survivor and had a morphine pain pump in the hospital last year,05,and had no need to take the Meth while in there. it may be difficult for the general pop to relly understand how we pain management folk do nt get high on our meds but Medical Science has doone the stugy that shows how the brain of a chronic pain victim acts when given a narcotic and it is not like the brain of the addict or the person who uses them for recretional fun. I have had since 1983 to deal with pain 24/7 and long endless nights of no sleep. Thank the medical world for the relief. Try to understand what protracted chronic pain that disables you and keeps you from living with family and friends is like. I am not speaking of a headache from stress. I hope others who have walked thru serious protracted chronis pain will help explain what Methadone has allowed them to do.

We’ve all read about the Abramoff gambling boats, the Bush removal of US Attorney F. Black, and the sweatshops in the Northern Marianas. What, if any, clinical trials, drug experimentation, and drug treatment plans exist in this lawless Republican slave kingdom?

Sorry for the excitement for the use of the word “antidote”., however , my marriage crashed and burned as a result of the spouse abusing prescription drugs and later being prescribed by a “doctor” to take methadone. That was 10 years ago and she is still on it ! It ruined my marriage , my kids outlook on drugs and far more than I can explain here.
As far as a pain killer for those who are suffering from some incurable illness , Im sorry , however as far as any reasonable kind of stepdown drug for heroin users….its trash. Pure trash.
It does NOTHING to help those whatsoever.Once again , sorry for any indignation towards those in real pain not as a consequence of drug abuse.

This is a very badly written article. Methadone is a much more potent pain reliever than…what? Tylenol? Aspirin? Of course. It’s a narcotic. It should only be compared to other narcotics. It’s one of the narcotics used to treat severe, ongoing, chronic pain. It’s not something that doctors should be prescribing to patients after surgery, like Percocet or Vicodin. I take methadone (and oxycodone for “breakthrough” pain) to relieve the intractable pain of chronic pancreatitis. In the past two years, I’ve been on several different narcotics of assorted formulations, and methadone has worked best for me at relieving my pain with the fewest side effects. I get a generic version that’s cheap, too, it costs my insurance company a lot less than some of the fancier time-release drugs like Oxycontin. I’m in a pain management program and I’m constantly monitored by my doctors.
I’m very sorry for those who have suffered because of drug addiction, either theirs or that of a loved one. But these drugs exist for a reason–some of us need them to live our lives. Without narcotics, I’d have to quit my job because I’d be spending my days curled up in bed from the pain. I literally cannot walk at times from the severity of the pain. Methadone allows me to maintain a fairly normal life. I don’t get “high” from it, and I’m not addicted. I’m physically dependent, yes, it happens to everyone. But if my pain went away tomorrow, I could happily throw the methadone away after I’d withdrawn from it. The fact that some abuse a drug doesn’t mean that it’s a “bad” drug and should be taken from the market or have more stringent rules against its use.

I am a methadone user for chronic pain and I cannot express the amount appreciation for the positive affect that it has had on my, and my family’s, life. My spine was injured while I was serving in the military, and after starting off taking oxycodone for several months, I soon found myself becoming addicted to its high, rather than appreciaing relief it provided. I quickly realized that I could not continue taking it. It is a dangerous drug, especially for people with addictive personalities. So after trying several other meds to only find the same general results, I was finally prescribed methadone. There was no high, it controlled my pain wonderfully, and the side effects were minimal, at least comparatively speaking to all the other medications I went through. As for it being related to heroin addicts? I am amazed at all of you who talk about how the drug as if it is the problem! How can anyone say anything else other than heroin addicts are the problem, not the drug. Try blaming societal issues or family matters instead. Methodone would still be here regardless of whether people who couldn’t keep the needle out of their arms use it. So to anyone trying to prevent me, AND MY FAMILY, from trying to live a normal life that methadone allows me to live, please take your head out of the sand. As with anything in this world, we all have the responsibility to take care of ourselves within the law. Because people choose to ignore that does not mean that I should be punished for it. Thank you.

Maybe everyone should should stop moralizing about every damn thing.
Especially when they have no earthly idea what they are talking about.
One does not have to be dying to have chronic, intractable pain. Not one of us is guranteed another day off very addictive drugs that will addict anyone. I could get hit by a bus tomorrow and need major narcotics, providing I lived through it. I would also need to be detoxed off those drugs. But insurance won’t pay for all that, so everyone is on his own.
I do not believe that any other industrialized nation on earth is as stupid about drugs and addiction as the U.S. It shows. We also have the greatest incidence of addiction and lives ruined, either by the drug or the legal system.
But there is money to be made, by big pharma and through the war on drugs. Ah, yes, money; the ultimate drug of choice in America.

My mother received Methadone for pain associated with cancer. It worked terrific! Unfortunatly she suffered for two weeks before Methadone was prescribed with terrible adverse reactions to Morphine. The doctors magically came up with the idea to use Methadone after we agreed to Palative care (the death sentence). Then just as magically as they thought of using Methadone, they discovered that “there was only one vial in the hospital and there was a manufactures shortage and there was no more Metadone to be found in a city of 600,000 people”. It was a wonderful drug for her and it was taken away for no reason.

methadone is a killer!!!! my sister in law died last year on it and she wasnt even a heroine user. she bought from someone who is a user and gets it in very large doses and sells it. our family members are now responsible for the raising of her 3 children. doctor are too free with the ditribution of this drug. i feel it should be regulated to people who need to see there physians to get it in daily doses or the local health clinics. it may be used for pain relief, however on the streets that is not what these people are using it for.

My mom has suffered with fibromyalgia for years. Her pain was physical, the pain my sisters and I suffered was emotional. Each and every day we watched our mom struggle with the pain. I missed my mom. Her doctor tried several other medications before finally prescribing Methadone. Thank you Methadone for helping my mom and our entire family through the pain of fibromyalgia. We have our mom back.

I have to say that I agree with a lot of the comments being made on methadone. Like so many others I have seen first hand the damage that this drug can cause. I have seen even those with good intentions become addicted and hit rock bottom. To this day, I still cannot understand how a doctor can prescribe such high dosages and expect somebody to function normally. But, as much as it is repeatedly mentioned-it’s all about the benjamins baby. Sickeningly so, it is a reality. This is one area where,unfortunately, the promise of democracy and the welfare of the american “people” are but a mere whisper. A constant shadow cast upon the overwhelming essence of greed. I do know, however, that people of all statures have the ability to become addicts and I hope that when this issue hits a little closer to home that they will all eat their words.

It seems by reading through many of these posts that many people speak before educating themselves on the subject at hand. Methadone is being used to treat chronic pain patients because of its long lasting effects and minimal side effects. Many other opiate medications, such as Vicodin and Codeine are prescribed excessively by physicians because they will not be scrutinized by the DEA. Even though they are damaging patient’s liver and lowering the quality of the patient’s life because tolerance to the drug builds very fast, therefore the patient needs more and more until they begin drug seeking because they cannot find a physician to prescribe them adequate amounts of pain meds to control their pain.
Being dependent on a drug because you are in chronic pain is very different from being addicted to a drug, which is classified as something you cannot control and is worsening your quality of life.
Slowly, many physicians are educating themselves on the use of Methadone for treatment of Chronic Pain. Besides being excellent for pain relief, the pain patient does not get a “euphoric” or “high” feeling from methadone. Pain patients are dependent upon Methadone to live normal lives, being virtually pain free, able to work without being doped up, and allows them to have a normal life. These patients are not addicts, although many times they are treated in just that manner.
Because of the association between Methadone and Heroin Addiction, there are still many naive’ people that do not understand the benefits of Methadone to Chronic Pain patients. When used as prescribed by a physician that specializes in pain management and methadone maintenance, methadone is helping to change the quality of chronic pain patient’s lives so they can function without pain and live normal lives. The cost of the drug is about .10 cents per pill and the abuse potential is very low due to the fact that Methadone does not produce a euphoric feeling or high that Vicodin, Codeine, Morphine or Oxycontin produces. Pain patients that are diverting or abusing pain medication do not want to take Methadone for pain management because they cannot experience that “high”.
Also, Methadone will not damage your liver, like Vicodin, Anti-Inflammatory drugs and and other pain meds that physicians excessively prescribe because they are afraid to prescribe Methadone, due to the DEA regulations of the class of this medication. If your physician cannot treat your pain effectively you should seek help from a pain management specialist that is not afraid to prescribe safe amounts of opioid medication to control pain.
If you have experienced addiction with opioids or know someone that has abused these medications, please do not hurt those that take their medications as prescribed so they can function without pain and live normal lives. It is inhumane to leave a human being in pain when there are medications out there they can utilize to live a functional and productive life without pain. Any medication will kill you when you do not take caution to use it as prescribed by a qualified physician.

I hope this info helps some of you who are writing completely irespnsible comments. And don’t have any Idea what your talking about. First of all Methadone is a synthetic drug, you see when heroin addicts don’t have the heroin or are trying to quite using they expierience a whole body sickness that most people could not mentaly allow themselves to endure, the methadone is not an opiod( a drug derrivative of the opium seed a natural pain killer used for hundreds of years) it is a synthetic opiod, an if you want to stop using heroin but every time you try and the sickness comes you can’t stand it and use again, well methadone essentially tricks your body into beleiving you have used heroin by blocking the opiod receptors in your body there by keeping you from feeling sick and helping you to not feel the need to use. You do not get high and people need to understand that, it also is great for pain control aswell and this is because those of you who are not in chronic pain have body’s which work correctly and the natural opiods in your body or opiod type drugs naturally attach to the receptors to stop or block pain when needed. We who have chronic pain have to add these drugs to our bodies to attach because it is not occuring naturally. If it is occuring naturally and you take these opiod drugs for no reason the drug has no natural use and becomes an ecsess amount in your system and becomes toxic. This is were the high comes from, so those using the drugs that don’t need them those who lie to the doctors about pain to get these meds may recieve some high but a chronic pain sufferer does not recieve a high, because the drug is being used properly. Those who die from the drug is because they did not need the drug and it causes a respritory depression in these people. Not to those in chronic pain unless overprescribed. So emagine what your stupid statements do to us chronic pain sufferers, the problems your prepetuation of these myths cause us is unspeakable, and if it affected your family you would be horrified. Furthermore the problem is not an overprescribing of opiods, it is an UNDERPRESCRIBING. Statistics say that 40% of chronic pain suferrers are grossley underprescribed proper pain meds. And the goverment is not using anyone for a human drug test. Not in the way you are implying. Your emotional rantz are destroying good peoples lives. We pain sufferers have a battle and people need to understand when they are being used you see journalists who write articles on prescription drug wars get people like you guys stirred up thinking that this stuff is going on right under your noses. And the truth is it’s all a skeem by the DEA to get it’s name in the paper to make us feel they are a worthwhile branch of our gov. Because since there inception in 1970 till a few years ago the presidents people said the DEA had made no statistical differince in the drug usage in America according to drug use statistics and drug arrests and so since pulling over a truck with a few pounds of weed or coke or whatever on the border didn’t get there name in the paper, maybe our local doctors brought up on drug charges in our own backyards would make us feel that they are really on the ball. People please see it for what it is a man made fake problem. God forbide any of them have to walk in a chronic pain sufferers shoes. Just so you know untill the 1920s opiods and morphine could be bought by anyone any age at your local grocery store and our grandparents and great grandparents where not all addicts dying left and right. We need to wake up in todays society and relize what to make issues about. And relize we need to be educated about something before we run our big mouths about them.
Posted by: Thon | November 30, 2006, 12:56 am 12:56 am
I would like to thank Thon for his remark of Nov. 30. I am a chronic pain patient. Migraine and fibromyalgia for half my life – over 25 years. I have been on methadone for over three years and I thank God every day for it, and that I have a doctor who is compassionate enough and brave enough to allow me to have it.
As Thor said, people with chronic pain have a problem in their bodies with their pain receptors in their brain – things that don’t cause normal people pain cause people like me chronic pain which has at times been unbearable pain. You would have to live with pain 24/7 to completely understand how it can completely destroy your life. It is a horrible burden to bear. It can at times be overwhelming. It takes all of your faith and your will and your motivation to just make it through another day knowing it will probably be much like the day before. Methadone does not get me high. It lowers my metabolism so I have a problem with weight, which is also a burden, and I have problems going to the bathroom, which isn’t very pleasant either, but that is a small problem compared to the payoff in return for handling my pain. It is getting harder and harder to find doctors willing to give methadone because of the bad publicity and their fear, and that adds an added stress in my life that one day I might not be able to get it because of this, because I would have no quality of life at all if I were not able to take methadone for pain at this point in my life. The people that need this drug suffer the most when the hype about it gets stirred up by the abusers themselves and those reacting to the abusers. Thanks.

I have been disabled since 96, after a fall that required three back surgeries for herniated discs. Now I have arthristis where the spine has space, and I have constant pain in my neck, arm, chest and back. I, too, have gained weight and have a hard time going to the bathroom. For over 6 years after my accident, I was made to feel like hell! by my pain Dr, that I was a drug addict. I went from making 100K to 500 per month, and trying to stay off the street in a house, as opposed to living on the street. At that time, I took care of my Mom, too, who was dying of cancer. I lost her 6 years ago, and miss her so. She never took a pain med in her life, she was lucky. She did not experience pain, and had a low tolenrance. Me, I am afraid to live in pain, and now see a specialist for pain. I take Methodone, Vicodin and Lyrica for nerve pain. For the first time in years, I feel normal, am not depressed, have a happy life, in spite of its challenges. As a former weed addict, I can say that it is true, when you have chronic pain, the body deals with the drugs in a different way. There is no high. When someone abuses any drug, nausea, vomiting, the desire for more, sweats, sleeplessness, and willing to go to any length to get the drug all come together. I find sometimes in spite of the fact that technically I am an addict, I end up with pills left, meaning I am taking them as necessary as opposed to abusing them. I feel so sad for everyone that lost someone, or is seeing someone out of control..but I agree, for those of us in chronic pain, thank God for methodone..I have been put down and called names, but I just pray for people who do not have a clue. Blessings, and if someone has a problem, try re-had or any AA, NA or other 12 step as it works. Happy Holidays ,Rebecca

I have a friend who has had a really bad anxiety disorder his entire life. He was started on antianxiety meds beginning at 12 yrs of age but has had either horrible reactions or the drugs were ineffective. He was eventually put on anxiety meds that were addicting and became an addict. Eventually his body became tolerant to the drugs and he went to the streets for black tar heroine. So at that point things went from bad to worse. He is no longer shooting up Heroine and is on no medication except one prescribed usually for seizure sufferers, clonidine. He says its supposed to help the high blood pressure. He seems dead to the world however now that he has no money and no job. He lives in a trailer and sometimes goes down the road to get 10mg of methadone just to feel normal so he can go out of his trailer and do things. He doesn’t want to get high, he seems to have gone through a whole lot during the past several yrs to not get high and to remain sober, yet be able to do things. He has been on every depression and anxiety med imaginable and still he suffers. What can be done? He says that he knows what he needs. Something called Buphenorphine without Naltroxone or anything like that. Is it possible to have a lack of natural opiate in your system and a prescribed opiate without an opiate antagonist be the proper treatment? I just don’t know. How would one go about getting a prescription for this if that were the case? I hope someone can help. Thanks.

I really cannot handle these people who say Methadone will kill you. This is the biggest lie ever told. Not only has methadone been intensily studied since the 1940′s but does NO damage to any organ in the body. These clowns who say get off your meds and use stupid medicine that does not do anything to stop pain are plain destroying people who are wracked with guilt as it is. If Methadone is your thing and it is prescribed work with your Dr. and DO NOT LISTEN TO THESE JERKS, who don’t know what Chronic-Intractable pain feels like

I have Fibromyalgia, and have been taking Methadone for 7 years. It is the only thing that helps me get through the day, and get sleep at night, without being doubled over in pain, or unable to breath because of the pain. It doesn’t kill you, if you take it as prescribed. People who abuse things, always get themselves into trouble, and then want to blame it on the medicine. People are idiots.

Well, if we talk about the appearance of cocaine then it is colorless or white crystalline alkaloid. It is also used as a medicine in some case but it is mostly used in addiction, and when the use is excess amount then it is defined cocaine addiction. Anyway to overcome this problem, Cocaine Intervention Treatment is very advantageous.
