(Uhhh, Dr. Bob?)
Nikki: it sounds like your friend was trying to get off methadone too rapidly. Withdrawal sickness also occurs with many monoaminergic antidepressants, not just opioids. (Effexor and Paxil have particularly bad reputations, and from my personal experience and research, MAOIs have terrible withdrawal syndromes as well.)
Invoking your own experience is fine, but that's not all you're doing: you've also tried to generalise your experience into a conclusion about what is or is not "okay." Please take this into consideration in the future. Thank you.
