I am going to methadone
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!!!!!
Please don't go to meethadone...u will have the worst withdrawals than u have ever experienced. Trust me I was on em 5 yrs... I've been clean since 5/6/09. I got on the methadone to get off lortabs. U are just replacing an opiate for another opiate!!!!
Hi I was on large amts of oxy and had trouble in lots of ways with it. Switched to 80mg a day of methadone and fell asleep for about 2 weeks! I'm only joking a little. Sometime in there I decided to see if I could stay awake if I took less. Went from 80 to 60mg with absolutly no problem at all and started to be able to stay awake. From there I decided to just start very slowly going down in dose and see what I could do comfortably. I am now at 5 to 7.5 mg a day. About 80 percent of the time it is 5 mg. I tryed going off completly, was off for 3 days, but my pain was just to bad. I can not remember the last time I felt as good as I do now or was functioning as well. The methadone is bad to come off from what I'v heard, but its not bad at all to taper slowly, and my life is transformed from when I was on 270 to 370 mg of oxycontin a day.
I forgot to add that when I started the clinic it put stability back in my life and I was no longer buying pills and it allowed me to delete all the numbers in my cell of drug dealers.. It's just to bad they don't have a better kind of medicine w/out the side effects... Good luck again. U will be surprised how u both change after the first day I know I did

methadone is not a get out of jail free card it only puts your addiction on hold...you soon become addicted to the methadone and if you think you got troubles now you haven't seen anything yet...I spent 6 1/2 yrs on the stuff went from 30ml to 150ml ...originally I was put on 30mg for pain management but after a falling out with my dr I wound up at the local clinic...every time my pian level would go up my dose would also till it finely quit working for pain all together then I was just feeding the addiction..I said enough was enough and decided it was time to get off.....thats where the real trouble starts...you are having trouble with a week long oxy withdrawal ...wait till you try on 8 1/2mo of grueling tapering wile your body bucks along the way going thew withdrawals
it can be prity ruff along the way certain doses seam impossible to get past the last 20ml for me was the ruffest it took 6 weeks of constant withdrawals to get past 20ml for me then from there on it was 3 to 4 days of withdrawals every time I droped dose..if that isent bad enough once your off it you think its going to end but it dont you go into post/withdrawals where you feel like you got ran over by a train you have to live with a constant energy crash that takes litterly months to go away...If someone was to offer it to me again knowing how bad the withdrawal is I would run the other way...it also has some nasty side effects wile your on it...you nod off at the most inappropriate times like during social gatherings ..your sex life comes to a crashing end and your sorta tired all the time...you will live in a fog that you wont realize till your off of it and the list goes on and on...im not trying to rain on your parade im only telling you what I had to go thew to get clean so you would realize that methadone comes with an awful price and had someone took the time to tell me b/4 I ever got involved with it I might not have made the mistake of ever taking it...I would certainly try and taper off the oxy its going to be a lot ezer then ever getting off methadone and living on methadone is no way to live it ***** the life right out of you I only wish I could get back the years I wasted on the stuff...and today im so grateful to God that im no longer under its spell...please consider what I have said here b/4 you sigh on the doted line im only trying to save you some major grief ...good luck and God bless.....Gnarly
