Y WIFE and I live in M Brisbane. We have been addicted to morphine, pethidine, cocaine etc., over the past four years. For the past eight months however we’ve been on methadone (or physeptone) and contrary to some articles I’ve read in Daylights (eg. The cure that kills, TLD 13) this drug is, in our case, quite a workable substitute for morph. It may be, as is often suggested, just replacing one addictive drug with another, but that suits our lifestyle at present so we continue on 30 mgs. a day. The experience that causes me to put pen to paper happened recently while my wife and I were visiting Melbourne. We had been to see our doctor in Brisbane before leaving, and he prescribed us enough methadone to last us until we were back home. However, on the way down to Melbourne, the cylinder head cracked in our old FC Holden. We chugged on down topping up the radiator every 10 minutes and decided to have it repaired before returning north. This prolonged our stay in Melbourne by another week. We needed more methadone so we went to a GP to get enough tabs to get us through the extra week away from Brisbane. The doc. seemed a little uncertain about whether to write the prescription or not, so he rang the AMA who knew precisely zero about where drug addiction was treated in Victoria. He must have come to the conclusion that ours was a genuine case, because he gave us 25 lOmg. tabs each. If there are any real cocaine addicts reading this they at least will understand that methadone, though it’s a brilliant substitute for morph in some cases, has no control over the sudden compelling drive that occurs whenever there’s a chance for a shot of coke. And as fate would have it, while we were in the hit I sweat the old ticker was offering to mend the damage I ask where the coke was and It’s up to each person to decide doctor’s getting the methadone touching 150 revs a minute, and had done to the surgery. This I whether or not I was coming. whether the doctor was only scrips, I spied on a shelf a bottle though my heart can keep up with decided to do.
