Why does it always feel like when you turn your life around,and do right,and do good you get screwed. I was on methadone for 4 yes for pain,and it helps you from getting addicted to opiates,pain pills. Will when I moved to sc I stopped the Methadone, it's been 4 mo,I feel good but was in pain. I went to a pain doctor and he's been great helping me. This past week I took a urine test and tested positive for methadone. I've been told it can stay in y our system for a long ti ... me. We'll the Doctor yelled at me, was rude,and down right nasty,and would not believe me that I have not touch methadone since the day I quite cold turkey. I've been so upset,I'm finally doing good, the right thing,and need was proud of my self. A Doctor managed to destroy that in 5 minutes. And I know longer have a pain Doc I've been discharged. I contacted the pharmaceutical company, pharmacists,and others they all say it could take a year. Funny but a Doctor doesn't know this. I guess Doctors can be assholes, education doesn't mean anything. He completely destroyed all the work it took me years to accomplice, in less than 10 minutes. If anyone cares it's pain management's in Anderson. Montgomery star.DR. MALONE THANKS FOR NOTHING!!! long sleeve
