Short term norco detox using methadone

[needhelp888111]

Good morning all;
This is my first post although as a pill addict trying each morning to get clean, lol, I read here often. I have tried suboxone 3 times, tramadol before that and each time have failed. I have 28 5 mg methadone, took 10 mgs this morning after much research and knowing the risks of doing this, but I have a plan, 3-4 days on the methadone. Today is 10 mg, 15 tops if the w/d's start later. Tomorrow 5mg if the 10mgs today stick, and so on. I think i will be able to get through the w/d's from the norco and be clean. I am so ready and determined and have been planning this for a long time. My 30th bday is Easter Sunday and I will succeed this time, for myself, my 2 kids and husband, who by the way has no idea of my addiction. I am quitting my job in 2 weeks, which is the place that allows for easy access to pills and becoming a stay-at-home-mom, for the reasons of being with my kids and having no more access to pills. I feel this is the only way I can really beat this addiction is to have no access. Any thoughts and/or support success stories etc., will be greatly appreciated. I have read the posts warning against methadone and truly feel for those people, but this time I am done with the bs and will make it.

Just read your post....I am a former methadone and hydrocodone addict.  Methadone is SO much harder to come off!  Trust me. Please read my post about being a withdreaw pro.  There are better ways.  just not sure metadone is the answer.

thank you for replying, I took the day off work to start the induction, not knowing how I would react...god I hope I am not making a mistake and just putting off the w/d's. I have been through them so many times, my husband thinks I get the flu quite frequently...lol, but pretty sad actually.

OK found it. I have come off of Norco. I did a taper. I think using methadone is a harder med then what you were taking. I am no doctor. Can you speak to a doctor?
You are just holding off on the w/d's. There are many here who have come off both Methadone and hydro. Hang tight you will get more info. The board is a little slow during the day.
