Oxycontin versus methadone questions

[redblue]

A friend of mine is on methadone for chronic pain and used to be on oxycontin.  Is methadone as addictive as oxycontin?  She was very energetic and talkative when she was on oxy, but is not that way with methadone, she is tired all the time.  In general, does oxy make you energetic (and is that what makes it so addictive?) and methadone make you tired?  Just curious if this is the norm for these 2 drugs.  Thanks.

There both very addictive.........
They both will kill you slowly..............

Oxycotin is the most addictive narcotic pain pill today and unless you have Cancer or Haspas you should never get them..........

Methodone clinics are popping up like party stores why $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

In this RX generation doctors are making addicts left and right..........

I've been on methadone for five years and it works well if taken how it's precribed and your not faking to get a higher dose.

but yes,  it makes people so tired especailly in the beinging.  It took me a long time to find a dose I was comfortable at and even then I was still tired.

I'm only on 58 milligrams now and still feel like I need a nap or I'll fall over standing up, it really is strange.  It usally passes after the first five or six hours then I'm allright.  but it does slow down the metapuliziam (sorry about the spelling) so you will drag on it.

sorry if I was'nt much help

oh yeah, your second question.  Yes, it is very addictive.  I working on tappering and for me it's been a long strugle that continues.  so good luck with your friend.
