Methadone has a very long duration of action. I don't have a lot of active junkie friends (yet?) but from what I heard is that methadone has its fair share of side effects. Top among these is the worst addiction potential of any opiate except maybe IV heroin.
Maybe your doc would write you morphine sulfate (oral, immediate release) instead of methadone. You get a fairer picture of if opiates are for you.
