Your receptors will be fine. Do the sub. for 6 weeks and be done with it!
My drug of Lortabs, then they stopped working so I moved up to Oxycontin 80ms 2x a day, then I went for help, and Methadone was there choice for me. I used for 16 yrs daily.
Just one week on methadone to get me through the week bet. stopping my drug of choice and sub. - was taking methadone pills. My drug of choice was vics. - 40-60 7.5 mgs a day.
My 21 day detox has lasted 2yrs. It is soooo hard to get off of. They don't tell you that Methadone is more addictive than Lortabs or whatever when you go for help. It is all about the money. I am going down slowly. I am on 40mgs now, and when I get to 25mgs I am swithching ovet to Suboxone and getting help from a real Dr. to wean me down off that after w/d lesser from Methadone. Everyone is different, but most people say that after w/d from Meth. subside then you start tapering off the Sub. over a period of several weeks. I am willing to try anything at this point. If my opiate receptors do not or are unable to function due to the years of usage, the Dr. said I would probably be on something for the rest of my life. Good Luck! How long were you on Methadone, and what was your drug of choice, and how long did you use?
Before starting sub. - I had to wait a week to get my sub. appointment - I took methadone. Lots of folks who go on 21 day methadone detox stay on it for a decade. That said, it can be done. I think sub. is the way to go, myself.
Side effects differ from again how long and how many you used them. For a short time of usage (2wks-1month) some experience no side effects. Long term usage can be nausea, vomiting, sweating, irritability, diarrhea, insomnia, emotional, to name a few. Good Luck!
depending on how many taken, how long usage, and body chemistry. Opiates are held in the fatty tissues of our body, and depending on your rate of metabolism they can flush out in a day or two. However I would say 72hrs. All drugs are different, such as marijuana(pot) 1-1/2 months. Why do you ask?
