I am going to methadone

[sickofit586]

     I am back,sorry i've been gone go aweek.Its been the worst week in along time I have tried c/t we couldn't do it.So I got the call last Monday to see the methadone doctor on the 15 may.I can't wait till then we are so excited,maybe the maddest will be gone.I understand that alot of you guys don't adgree with this and I'm not sure I do to but we can't keep going the way we are going.So we are going to try this.My Question Is will he give the methadone when we see him.We have already gone and did our blood work and pissed in the bottle.So will he give it to us on that day and will it work for right away or will we have to wait for it to get in your body's for a couple of days.We are so sorry but we have to get rid of the maddest.We have gone though all our money paying for the drug(Oxy's),and will this take care of the pains that we have too.We just want this to work.I broke down and cryied like a bady when they called and said we both got the app. I will stay intouch after the 15 may, we are down to the last straw with the pill(Oxy's and should I keep my Oxy's that the Family Doctor give me for a couple of weeks just incase it doesn't work  Thanks for your support,I know we are a dissappoitment but we have try C/t Not for us!!!!!

I don't understand why any worthwhile dr would put anyone on methadone. I have been a healthcare provider for many years and have never, EVER had one patient on methadone who was able to kick it. I know people out there have; I just haven't ever seen one. And I know a lot of people, including myself, who have successfully kicked the oxy habit. Something to think about. The stats just don't support methadone. And don't ever say you're not a strong enough person - because you are! Anyone can do it, as long as you choose to. That's the secret! Don't think you can do methadone for 2 weeks and then stop. You will STILL have to detox! And an oxy taper is WAY easier than a methadone taper.

   Thanks man I will keep you informed.Its important to me to stay intouch with you guys.Not long now,had a 80 this morning a I now want another but the hell with it sick or not at least I see a light at the end of the tunnel MAYBE! I don't realy know maybe some hope.We too only did the pills to kill the pain but then we found out the more you take the better you feel.That is so wrong,Look where we are at now.Had to tell my doctor that I was going to the clinic on Saturday and he said well thats the end of my pills.You would think he would let me have them until I adjust with the methadone.But I suppose I really don't care anymore.Just want away from the Demons.Damm this better work for us Thanks for listening you me til next time sickofit586

hey dude...well I dont know how short of time you can spend on the stuff I  was using it for pain management and was on it a long time for that reason...it wasn't till it quit working and my substance abuse conslor sugjested I try and get off of it that the real problems started....just use it as a tool to get off the oxy...use it as short of time as possible..and keep your dose as low as possible ...seek out some sort of aftercare and start to build up a solid foundation wile your addiction is on hold...I have herd of heroin addicts only spending 45 days on the stuff so that would be short term at least wile your on it you wont crave the pills and you can get some normalcy back in your life good luck to you keep posting so we know how it goes for you
and when its time to get off it I will still be here for you...God bless

I've had methadone and I'm currently tappering from suboxone. From my experience suboxone is so much bettr for u mind and easier to get off of.

  I know what you are saying and I agree but right now its the only hop I got.Yes I have shot alot of them But try to just snorting them but like most junkie's always go back to the main vein. I am truely sorry that I am doing this but thats that,I really listen to you and it always go back to methadone.And I know that you were there too and you had to try it and thats way I'm at right now.I am so excited,that I got to see him so fast.Can I go on it for 2 weeks and then get off it.I got a book from my drug councillor yesterday.But didn't see that in it,I will look again.Gnarly,thanks for the help and I will stay intouch.When I get back I will write you and tell you what happen to us.Does methadone make you smoke like the Oxy's does.when i am coming off the oxy's I don't smoke but as soon as I get one in me I smoke like The # 9 train did years ago Love always sickofit586 and wife

Try Suboxone instead, it's really the better choice I think. I am being pushed by the doctor to start methadone when I went to ask for sub. He thinks because of my pain I should go on meth but after reading so many horror stories I'm very scared to. I'm going to keep looking until I find a doctor who wlll prescribe sub. You should ask for sub instead, do some research and check it out. I'm in the same boat don't want to keep going on pills but don't want to be on methadone either and sub seems to be the better choice. Good luck and I hope you give sub some thought.
