Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

It's used as for pain and have uses as anti-depressants.

WebMD says there are quite a number of side effect (as most opioids do), but it seems "effective".

A controlled substance (medication) in tablet form for use in opioid addiction treatment.

It can be administered in office setting whereas methadone has to be done in a clinic so certainly easier to administer.
