Hi Beth,
About a year ago they put me on methadone for my pain. I too thought the
same way as you did that it was given to people that are addicts. But my
pain doctor said that the pill was originally made for pain patients then
they found that it helped with people that are addicts, to come off their
drugs a slow, easy, and safe way. I learned something new that
day..............
Hope all is well with ya Beth! Take care toots,
Love and Hugs,
