This drug relieved my pain enough for me to go to school and obtain a nursing license. It allowed me to remain clear in the head and able to perform my job as required. The Board of Nursing objected at first, but after following me for over 2 years they concluded that taking methadone was not an obstacle to obtaining a nursing license or to safely practice nursing. I finally stabilized at 100mg of methadone every 8 hours. I have worked full-time since obtaining my license over 20 years ago.

Every heroin craving I had disappeared. I never felt high from methadone, I was able to go to school, get a degree and get a career. Thank You Methadone
