>>Our personal family experience is this: she was medicated and it was unpleasant<<
Could you describe about how much 'unpleasant' it was for HER? I mean is she around to ask, or did she describe it to you? Lord, i'm scared.
>>Methadone creates a dependency and also causes a plethora of medical problems<<
Well i'm not scared of dependency so long as something helps me. Like, i'm dependant on Klonopin and have been for 15 years, but it doesn't bother me b/c i didn't develop tolerance and it helps me very much.
OTOH, i sure don't want a "plethora of medical problems." Are these health problems the usual associated with opiates, or does methadone have it's own set of bad things?
The point being that i got in this pickle because i want opiates, because taken in moderation they fix my depression and make me feel normal. I don't see that desire going away because i detoxed, i expect i'll just be back where i started.
Thanks,
