Chuckie, I just got from my daughter's house where we did Easter stuff.....we talked about your dilemna. Methadone causes you to have serious bone problems, teeth problems, etc. Very serious stuff, methadone. I've heard heroin junkies describe it as being worse than heroin. One of her old boyfriends has been on it for almost six years and he's had problems that have caused him to almost lose his band...he's like the best drummer in Austin, Tex....one eye droops and his teeth are falling out. Her discomfort during a medicated withdrawal was very tolerable...she said to tell you this. She encourages you to do it medically with a physician's help. She's been clean, totally, for three years and has a new baby that was born three months prematurely. Her baby now weighs 8 lbs and 3 ozs...after being born at 1 lb., 9ozs. My daughter's health is great. She also tested positive for HepC at one time and that is in remission now. I can't urge you enough to try to get off the poppy tea...do it with a physician, if at all possible. We will be thinking of you and praying for you. She made it and she used heroin, big time, for 7 years. Best!!!
