On a personal note- It's about time someone started noticing the half-life concerns with Methdaone. For years and years I have seen patients on chronic pain forums warn each other and discuss the half-life... I myself used to do the half-life math for people so that they understood how much Methadone was in their system by the 5th day. It's a great pain killer that works well for so many, so I'm glad that this major safety issue is finally getting enough attention so that doctors can be more aware and more cautious when they prescribe it to their patients - and so that patients can be more aware of the half-life so that they know that the 10mg pill they took today will not fully leave their system for 5+ days.
