Methadone is now the #2 Killer Drug in the U.S. Methadone is more addictive then any other pain medication including heroin and because of it’s extremely long half life, cardio toxic risks, numerous fatal drug interactions, dosages based on tolerance, and small margin of error.

Every day 10.9 people die from Methadone (according to 2004 stats, not including car accident deaths caused by drivers under the influence of Methadone)

Current statistics show that nearly 4000 people a year die from methadone. These deaths are mostly happening to pain management and detoxification patients’ wit hi n the first 10 days of taking initial dose. Most of these deaths are related to methadone prescribed with other medications that react as additives with the methadone. Diversion of methadone is a serious problem because it lands t hi s most deadly drug on streets. Statistics also state that methadone is contributing to more deaths nationwide then heroin and only second to cocaine deaths.

The potential of abuse, diversion, and overdose to new patients being prescribed methadone is overwhelming. The unique properties of methadone, it's long half life, and it's negative interaction with numerous drugs make it an optimal choice as a last result treatment for chronic pain and addiction.

The sadest part of this story is that the same people who exploited Anna and her son in life, continue to do so in death.

YOU KNOW THE DRUGS DON'T WORK, THEY JUST MAKE YOU WORSE AND I KNOW I'LL SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN! (The Verve)

I'm personally getting sick of hearing about what the heck these drugs are doing to people. Making them shoot up maalls, killing people and stuff. It has to end!

There are lots of medications that are fine to prescribe. It's up to the patient to use them responsibly. Don't go blaming the doctor just b/c these 2 adults didn't make good choices. Almost every prescription drug has the ability to be abused.

BTW, did you ever posted your profile to a celebrity and millioniare dating site called BillionaireCupid.com? I just saw your profile yesterday on that site.

His death is very tragic as was his mother's but these people willing mixed the drugs and took the methadone. I mean you can't always blame the dealer for someone else's choices. It's the price you pay (unfortunately) when you do not read labels and over exceed the limits.

people have problems, haitian woman, you are stupid.
