I have heard that some people stay on it for life. I am not planning on doing that. I have no side effects from it so it's not an inconvenience right now. But it does cost money to see the doctor once a month ($150) and money for the prescription ($15) once a month. I was on methadone for years and this is definitely cheaper. Plus the meth made me high. And I would have to go to the methadone clinic and see junkies everyday to get medicated and that didn't help my sobriety.
Hope this info helps. <3
Thank you so much for the info! It's so helpful for me to talk to someone that takes it. I feel that my husband is getting high off of the drug. Would you say that the drug can do this? He has confessed to sometimes taking a "big piece" of the film. There are times that he just seems really off.
