The first time I tried methadone, I had gotten it from a friend of my brother's who had back problems but never used them. I started out with 10mg and enjoyed it a little bit. I threw up and could not do anything with my girlfriend the next two days (sexual problems), so I told myself I wouldn't do it again. However, I had the opportunity a few months later. By this time, I had checked out experience vaults online, and decided to give it another go. This time, I ate a meal before taking 20mg and this time enjoyed myself much more. I remember the desire to be friendly and caring to others. And I liked the feeling much more than the alcohol I had previously chosen as my main drug. I've since stopped drinking. Methadone offers the good feeling and comradery, but without the sickness or stupidity. I had complete control of myself on methadone. Flash back to today, and I am still taking the pills on a semi regular basis. I now use it whenever I have severe anxiety and have to do a speech or presentation at school.

And the only problems I have with this drug involve the sexual side effects and the visible drugged out look that takes experience to hide. It does wonders when I have anxiety and want some help to loosen up without really changing the way I act. It is better than alcohol and one of my favorite drugs. And the absolute BEST thing about this drug is how long it lasts. I can take a 30mg dose and be relaxed for 2 days and have a relaxed afterglow.
