I agree with ABN you don't need the pills, go for it, just make sure you have some kind of support for when you get through the detox, I've done a few Heroin detox's and it was always after I slipped up. Heroin will leave your system much faster as its not synthetic. Stick close to this site for advice and support it will help more than you know. Best of luck to you, go grab your life back. Get some support, ;)

I dont know about the methadone nor do I think anyone here is allowed to give you dosing advice regarding the pills you have. That should be done under the care of a doc.

Now the heroin....well that's a different story. I'm here to tell you that you can detox successfully without methadone. I'm living proof! Ive went cold turkey off ungodly amounts of heroin use for lengthy periods of time (years) and am here to talk about it. (I didnt die) Yeah, it hurt a little....but its doable. You can do it! Stay plugged into this site and there will be so many people that will literally hold your hand through the process!. Forget about the methadone! Plush it! You may just end up addicted to that and in a worse detox situation. Yeah...detoxing from methadone....SHEEEEESH!

Well, I...along with others are here for you. I hope you make the right choice.
