OMG. Methadone is NOTHING like HEROIN! NOTHING!!!!!!!! If anything Fentanyl is LIKE Heroin. Just 30 times stronger.

Methadone is LONG lasting 24/36 hour half life. It prevents the horrible withdrawal Heroin gives because it keeps all receptors filled. Heroin does to but in one huge whack and it is gone, hence why can o.d. off the stuff, filling everything and than you don't even breath. It is like Heroin is like jumping into Ice cold water (the more you do it, the more tolerence you get)and shivering is the Withdraw; and Methadone your in the water and it gradually gets cooler. THe colder the water, it can actually kill you. But not medically correct, a perception.

You will withdraw off methadone but it is prolonged since it keeps receptors filled so long. IT IS NOT HEROIN, not synthetic heroin. Heroin's half life is 4.5 minutes and in 9 minutes it turns into morphine in your body. Actually I read your brain turns it back into morphine,IDK. ANd that's I don't know. I made up a new one. Yes heroin turns back into Morphine somewhere in your body. . Heroin is fast acting, YOU cannot compare the two!!!!!!!!!! And methadone was invented for pain, NOT heroin addiction.

Man I am losing faith in you. Only kidding. It is like comparing a Zeppelin to a little helium balloon.

and people that talk about the way you spell, tell them were to stick it! And He didn't even answer the question. What a genius.

First of all that doesn't look like how you spell that word lol and idk either tbh.. But i am pretty sure there is not much difference..

Methadone is a potent narcotic like heroin but methadone has a longer withdrawl time , around 1-8 wks. The reason it is given in heroin abuse is because the majority of cost incurred to economy of illicit drug use is crime & related causes.
Therefore treating with methadone is actually a social intervention rather than a physiological one.
