I've never taken methadone, but if it were more available (i.e., if I thought I could get a doctor to prescribe it for me long-term), I would definitely consider trying it. It would be nice to have something I could take just once or twice a day -- with buprenorphine my energy level is constantly going up and down throughout the day.

Yes, me too. Can you tell me about your experience with MMT?
