> Nikki.... No problem. I'll back you on this one anytime... She's probably so angry because she knows your right! Oh well... I think we did what we could.... I talked to my father again this morning... on babble admin I wrote that he was a doctor and told me that "There is no way a doctor will prescribe methadone for these reasons." He was suprised. What they don't realize is that we are trying to help them! I've been there and seen it too,.. I wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy.. let alone someone who is depressed. Not only do they need a pdoc to prescribe the RIGHT stuff.... they need an incredible therapist... if they believe what they are saying. I'm still shocked over this thread... Oh well, I did what I can.

> > > Methadone is not worse than heroin. Sheeeeet how off the wall can you get. Heroin is an occupation. Heroin is taken and cut with all kinds of crap (sugar, starch, powdered milk, quinine, strychnine or other poisons). Not to mention possible exposure to AIDS, hepatitis, abscesses, infections of the heart lining and valves, bacterial infections and on and on. To the heroin addict methadone is FREEDOM. And to some people with certain types of depression, I believe from my own personal experience, that it just might be the ticket to freedom as well!
