Does using meth make the detox better
I see what you mean.Thanks for pointing that out.I totally misread what the original poster wrote....Kim
again , I say if you read the post, it's not about methadone but about getting off street dope using methadone. As a said before, the "buddy symstem' of detox usually doesn't work too well. I hope you get through this and stay off dope .
How much methadone were you usually taking a day and for how long? I went c/t off of 25 mgs after being on it for almost 2 years through an clinic.Not going to lie methadone is a beast to come off of.You really just have to hold on tight and dig deep.Keep posting here for support and like others have mentioned,start participating in some type of after care.The more support you can get right now the better off you will be.Hang in there,it takes some time,but it does get better...Kim
hi and welcome to the forum...wow c/t off of heroin/methadone...
well if your already in sever withdrawals and you are...its only going
to last a few days...the main physical stuff usually only last about 5
days so you might be threw the worst of it already...dont know
you dident give enough info...on the bright side you made an imporant
decision to quit...and a week worth of he11 is worth a life time free
off heroin/methadone addiction ..right now my heart goes out to you
I came off a 6 1/2yr methadone addiction but did it slowly and to say the least..it was difficult..I had my share of withdrawals but they weren't as sever as yours...I cant imagine what your having to go threw..hot baths or showers will help you feel a bit better try to use your symptoms to strengthen your resolve to quit...in the end it is
is your mind that can be your bigest asset or your worst enemy
each day you make it your that much closer to being free..it will
get better...I dont know if you believe in god and im not here to shove god down anny ones throat...but he helped me thew my withdrawals...you might want to give praying to god a try...right now its all you got...and he does help those that ask...as for what else to do...your just going to have to let it run it course...know it wont kill you...yes it sux to be in full blown withdrawals but know it wont last forever and in the end ...it will be so so worth it...best of luck to both of you...god bless and ill pray for your success....Gnarly
No, they were taking street dope I believe and they are using meth to kick. The buddy system never works too well for detox. One usually relapses right after. I've seen this happen many times and you 2 shouldn't hang out much after you kick. all the best
