Methadone - All you need to know about Methadone

Methadone is a Class A Drug in the UK which carries, if convicted for supply, a lifetime prison sentence.

What is Methadone

Methadone is a painkiller. It depresses the nervous system. Users normally have feelings of warmth, detachment and relaxation and methadone also helps to alleviate feelings of anxiety which is much the same as heroine. The effects normally last several hours. It is a long acting synthetic painkiller which mimics the same effects as Heroin but being less addictive. Methadone is used as a substitute for patients who are attempting to combat the addiction of heroin. The difference between the feelings of heroin and methadone is, it does not give the same level of high or buzz. Methadone comes in the form of a green liquid, It produces the feelings of euphoria and sedation similar to heroin but to a much lesser degree. It is mainly given to heroin addicts, supervised by trained healthcare professionals or pharmacists.

Methadone Uses

Methadone is use to wean heroin addicts off heroine. The down side is, it is addictive too.

A prescription is firstly issued by doctors stating the amount and the times it can be administered. The amount collected is restricted.

At the beginning, the amount of methadone is slowing increased so as to increase the tolerance of the drug to the body, After which it is slowly decreased until the patients does not need the drug anymore, and is free from the addiction. There are some patients who are kept on a steady dose of methadone to avoid them returning to Heroin once the dosage stops.

Methadone is used mainly in hospitals to relieve the pain of patients who are recovering from an operation or who are recovering from serious injuries. Methadone is an extremely affective painkiller. It comes in a tablet form, a liquid form which is swallowed or can be injected. It is also used to relieve the pain of terminal illnesses.

Risks of Methadone

If methadone is taken in large amounts, it will produce some side effects similar to heroin. These side effects include confusion, drowsiness, nausea, apathy, vomiting, constricted pupils and suppression of breathing reflexes. If taken to excess, it can lead to coma and death. 421 people died in 1997 from using methadone. The good news is, deaths are much reduced nowadays due to the implementation of supervised consumption of methadone, especially in the early stages of treatment of heroin addiction. In 2005 there were 1500 drug related deaths in the UK which is much more than those due to a methadone overdose.

Some heroin addicts become reliant on methadone while other heroin addicts have created a vast black by selling on there doses for as little as £1.00 for 10ml. It has street names of Meth, Linctus and Mixture.
