I am on METHADONE maintainace because of the years (4 TO BE EXACT) MY DOCTOR HAD ME ON OC ,MS CONTIN, DURAGESIC PATCH/FENT.,VICODIN, EVERTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE! FOR CHRONIC PAIN DUE TO A CAR ACCIDENT (A REALLY BAD CAR ACCIDENT!!) I HAVE BEEN ON METHADONE FOR ABOUT 2 1/2 MONTHS (I HAVE BEEN OFFERED U.S. BUPRENORPHINE BY MY DOCTOR MANY TIMES FOR MY CHRONIC PAIN AND FOR OPIOD MAINTAINACE- I EVEN HAVE HAD MY PCP GIVE IT TO ME FOR A TOOTH-ACHE BEFORE! IT'S REALLY NOT THAT HARD TO GET. I HAVE ORDERED IT FROM INT.OP BY THE HUNDREDS BEFORE. I THINK METHADONE IS TEN TIMES HARDER TO GET THEN BUP. )I HOPE THIS BUP. SHOT BECOMES AVAILIABLE SOON? IT WILL BE A LIFE SAVER TO PEOPLE WHO ARE ON METHADONE AND BUP. MAINTANACE! CHEESE
