Are you being followed by a doctor??  There are some non addictive meds that will help if you ask for help.  I have not detoxed from methadone, but I understand it is tough.  Gnarly may come by later tonight and he has a lot of experience.  If you search his name and check out some of his posts (he usually responds to meth posts) you may glean some help there until he gets on later.  I hope you can hang strong, hon.  It will be worth it, even if it does not seem so right now. Keep posting.  If you want to tell your story, do not be afraid to.  The more info the forum has, the better they can help and support!
