Methadone is a powerful narcotic, but it has the great disadvantage (imo) of having a long half-life. It is very slow off; that is why a dose will hold a junkie for a day. Paradoxically this makes it the most addictive of any of the narcotics - the brain has so much extra time to decide "I don't want this to stop". I prefer shorter-acting strong narcotics - morphine, Dilaudid, Numorphan. The ones I can't tolerate are the mixed agonists/antagonists - pentazocine (Talwin), butorphanol (Stadol), buprenorphine (Nubain). They do bad schtuff to my squeaking squealing synapses. <edit> This is my post Twelve Thousand - I dedicate it to the Darians - cavorting like a family of otters through a swaying kelp of words.
