My Answer To The Question – What are the long term affects of Methadone?

Many of you like the questions and answers on this blog. I just found another one from ‘Amber D.’ who asks My boyfriend and I have been dating for four years now and he has been addicted to Methadone for 5 years. He thinks it is perfectly safe and that there are no long term affects of this drug. I say a drug is a drug no matter what it is or what doctor says it is safe. I think if you need help or are sick then that’s when you should use a drug but you should never abuse a drug. Answer: Methadone is used to help heroin addicts stay off heroin, if he is a recovery heroin addict and the doctor has prescribed him methadone and he talk the prescribed amount he should be fine, methadone has no known serious side effects. However, If he is getting it another way and he was never a heroin addict then I don’t know why he would be taking it. People get addicted to meth, take methadone to stop there cravings for meth. Really there is no other reason you would take it. Tagged:Other – Health
