[Shay839]

I've been addicted to methadone for 5 yrs and the tabs for bout ten yrs. It all started from having a simple tooth extracted. I have been clean from methadone since 5/6/09. Ian now batteling cing off the tabs. I'm on day 16 and still feeling a lil rough. I just need ppl to talk to for advice because I keep it hidden from family and friends. Just would like to talk to ppl that know what I'm going through!!! Help!!!

Hello and welcome to the forum. You are at the right place for understanding drug related issues.It can be very lonely trying keeping this stuff to yourself while getting clean.
At this time I am getting off the methadone,and am almost there.There are some things in the health pages that may help you,they are at the top,at the right.
Aftercare things like NA or AA meetings can help because there are people you can talk to face to face.Hang in there,you are sure not alone going through this.Keep posting here and you will find people to talk to.                 Good luck                karl
