I have been on methadone for ten years and just got back on it after staying off of it for a year. I didn't go about detoxing off of it in the right way. I suggest that you make sure you are ready and you will know if you are, but don't lie to yourself. Next is when tapering down, do it as slow as you possibly can. That was one of the most important things in the success stories that I have witnessed. I am going to try and do it right this time. Good luck in your fight against this demon.
THE GOVT JUST WANTS THE MONEY!!! I HAVE BEEN ON METHADONE FOR ABOUT 4-5 YEARS AND NEVER WENT A DAY WITHOUT PILLS FOR PROBABLY 6. AT THE END I WAS DOWN TO 4 10MG A DAY. 2-10MG'S IN THE MORNING AND 2 AT NIGHT. I REFUSED TO GO TO THE CLINIC B/C OF THE SHAM. I AM NOW ALMOST A WEEK CLEAN AFTER TAPERING. I WENT FROM 4 A DAY, TO 3 A DAY TO 2 A DAY AND THEN JUST TOOK IT LIKE A MAN. I FEEL PEOPLE LOOK FOR THE EASY WAY OUT WHEN YOU DID IT TO YOURSELF. SUBOXENE IS ADDICTIVE ALSO. TRY AND CUT IN 1/4'S
Good luck with getting off Methadone. And how do you do it? One day at a time that all we have ever had. Make a daily visit to a NA or AA meeting to replace clinic visits. Find people who can relate to you and you will hear your story. You are going to be having alot of feelings coming up along with the physical symptoms. So you show up at a NA meeting or if in a large enough community a MA meeting and ask for help, phone numbers from women...call 3 women a day. Get a sponsor. JC
Methadone was created by Nazi scientists in WW2.Totally synthetic cuz Hitler was bombing the fuck outta Europe and Nazis didnt have a steady opiate supply.It is THE MOST WICKED opiate to withdrawl from...they dont call it "liquid handcuffs"without good reason.Withdrawls last over a month so my advice is do what you have to-but research what your getting into..its not the flowers&rainbows happy perfect cure all thats its sold as...its another ADDICTION..and a worse one at that!
i am on methadone 5mg a day weining down proud of myself i was addicted to Vics n other opiods but damn its fucking hard as hell but u can wein down for sure i was on 30mg for a year now 5 a day sometimes every other day.
LOOK UP IBOGAINE> type in "ibogaine methadone"" just those 2 words, then watch as many videos as you can of people who did the ibogaine treatment on methadone and what they felt like after words. and remember this: no matter how much you feel nervous/unsure about the effects of the ibogaine (like possible negative side effects), think of how HORRIBLE opiates in general are for your body; one dose of ibogaine is nothing compared to the side effects heroin/methadone on your life/body/mind/etc...=]
I was up to 70 and went down to 5 every two weeks. Today is day six without methadone. I am taking clonidine for the withdrawls, My biggest problem is lack of energy. I think this is the best way so far.I wish everyone luck!
I was on 100 mils for 2 yrs. quit cold turkey. Yes its hell, but if you really want to be free from that ball and chain you can do it. Clinics will do whatever it takes to keep you there. Just stop, but be ready to fight for your soberity.
Just don't stop following the program if ur still experiencing the urge to use n do it slow... Good luck on ur road to recovery!!! It's either methadone, sobriety or death... Make ur choice!!!
I been on Methadone for almost three years... I am down to 25mg and have been experiencing withdrawals... Damn girl u look too young to f*k ur life up for a high... I started using painkillers over 17 yrs ago n this is the closest to sobriety i have seen... I did it all girl n i have to agree with candiegemini when making the statement that u don't know what ur talking about... I too will save u from reading my story in a book... With that, i don't think ur too commited to the program if ur usin
Listen kiddo get your shit together or you're gonna die... or spend the rest your life being a junkie loser. Dude it's your life you make the decision. I'm just tryng of fuckin help me out with a some words of wisdom, fellow dope addict to dope addict.
And your probably completely full of shit anyway. Because everybody knows that when you keep your dose at 7O you can still get fucking high. Which is probably why you're on that low of a dose nEway. Also explains your relapses & the urge to snort oxy codone twice while on methadone maintenance...
Time I snorted oxy codone and they didn't come up in my urine test so I took that as message from god and I was never gonna do it again BUT THEN I did it ANOTHER time BUT it was only a LITTLE BIT. Do you know how fucking stupid that sounds. Seriously I don't think you should start tapering down. Cuz all your gonna do is fuck up n do more heroin.
Be on methadone.... just need to be on methadone why are you so fucking concerned about other peoples program watch your own shit, worry more about yourself... I've been a polly substance abuse user since I was 12 and I'm well over 30.. it always irritates the shit out of me when young hairoin addicts think that they are the only people that really suffer the most.. and plus in your statement your like Ive only been using methadone straight for a whole year & 3 months... well except for that
Is that just because certain people are addicted to prescription medication and not "heroin" does not mean that there drug addiction is not "hardcore"=-O enough to be considered for methadone treatment or methadone maintenance... in fact to deny them that right would be a travesty. Now I've done just about every drug there is( and believe this if you want to and I'm gonna fuck if you do I'm not trying to brag when I say these things I'm just tryna f ing educate you. Ive mainlined H. Meth
Classes or a group such as synthetics, semi- synthetic, and natural opium derived opiates. Also there are alkaloids, opioids and opiates. Which are all different. You need to educate yourself further obviously. Now methadone falls in 2 of the three. It's an alkaloid & an opioid, which basically means that it's mostly synthetic with a small amount of semi synthetic opiods... an email the comment that I'm trying to discuss without writing a freaking book here....
Your very young, so ill overlook your ignorance(*). It takes years to get off methadone if your planning on succeeding...sometimes much, much longer. (*) Now back to your comment about people on prescription drugs that shouldnt be (now,correct me if I've scewed your point there) allowed in the methadone, program that's a bunch of BS. You are obviously very naive to think that prescription opiates are not as serious as heroin... furthermore if you don't know this already there are different
Methadone works just fine for me. I was going through 250 mg a day of ocs n other stuff. I finally got off of every opiate just by using methadone. This helped me go back to work and do everything my none addict friends do. The good thing is that you don't get high of any other opiate while taking methadone.
you can email me at anytime to talk.. i am currently in recovery since April 10. 2011 so if you need someone to talk to. and i am currently on suboxone
I relate to your fear. And nearly everything you say. (I've got a long time on 'done.) You are talking about tapering way, way, WAAAYYY too fast! I'm afraid if you hear what the reccommended taper schedule is, you will reject it. The diabetic thing is crap. Be CAREFUL what you listen to. Also when it comes down to it, the seemingly "corny" things they tell us as to how we have to change our lives, turns out to be largely true.
Again, PLEASE be careful about what you listen to.
SUBOXONE just do 2mg r less for 1 month then taper off next month and your good. People stay on it to get fucked up for 6 months plus you dont need it that long. Although there are physical symptoms for most drugs i promise half the battle is mental. I was doin lots of suboxone up until the day i went to bootcamp, yes withdrawl during bootcamp but since i was so busy didnt even think about it.
hello i am a healer,.. but i have no experience with methadone,.. my spiritual approach is pretty effective but i know it is not as good as it can be because i do nt understand, can you tell me what it's liek and what drugs it replaces?
@dav7boz forgive me...i simply wished to learn ,.. could you perhaps explain so i could further understand why you wish me and others like me trying to understand peoples with problems,.. i feel as if you think there is no place for spitituality in healling,..please do not confuse me with somebody saying this or that is that is the way ,..but i have struggled with addicition all my life and wish to be better informed , care to share YOUR views more completely?
Thats wrong to say that someone on Viccodin shouldn't be on Methadone because the addiction has nothing to do with coming off and trying to get clean. Addiction is addiction no matter what the substance if they don't care then tell because people who want help deserve it regardless of the addictive substance if they don't care they need to leave.
@callmeservant true, but all shes trying to say is that it is sill y to go on methadone from vicodan, VERY stupid becuase vicodin is like a thousand times weaker, literlly then methadone, speaking from personal experiance, been on 2 years, get off cold turkey, joining the military, BE A MAN ABOUT IT...
@callmeservant Basically shes saying that you might as well switch to heroin if youre going to use methadone to get off of vicoden. My advice is to lower the dosage and ween yourself off. I know thats easier said than done, but you have to have someone help you, administer the dosage and keep your vics locked away until its time for the next dose. Maybe suboxone would be ok too, but only for a short term method, as long term use suboxone withdrawal is pretty much the same as methadone's.
You can't go from 70 mg to 1 mg a day!! You will go through hell. You need to taper down yourself, every week go down 10 mg a day until you can handle it. Plus DON"t do othe drugs!!! no snorting OC's
You can dose down as much as you want, but that Methadone, is the worse drug anyone could get on and yes switching from lortab to methadone is INSANE!!! Hydrocodone takes a couple weeks to get off, methadone will take months and up to one year. DO NOT GET ON METHADONE.....NEVER!!!! you can dose down as low as you want once you stop!!!! OMG!!!
Yo gmc, methadone take a little over a month to detox cold turkey. Methadone is, metaphorically speaking, liquid handcuffs. I used to take up to 45 norcos a day. I should have quit thn, but I was introduced to methadone, I was 17 at the time and I never took pain pills for the High either I used it for pain reasons only. I was told it was addictive stupid of me getting happy cause now I had no pain. The only reason why I was so ignorant cause I took this advice from my mother and she happened t
Love the pic in the background? are u catholic? Praise the Lord Jesus Christ! Hail mary full of grace the lord is with thee! contact me, im on methadone right now, and got a few questions on getting off
If you go to the clinic EVERY day then your clinic does NOT allow privilges, like "take home" with a clean urinalysis after their required amount of days . If you take the bull by it's horns and decide to get dose down, you WILL experience withdrawal. That's where you fight & betray all others to remain clean! It is IMPOSSIBLE to quit cold turkey. Your body will NOT allow this. You will have NO choice but to go back to the clinic. "Natural" opiates will NOT help u. Google IBOGAINE
@wickidwanda IBOGAINE? meaning more DRUGS? She's an addict, MORE drugs aren't the answer. Addiction means MORE. She needs to learn that the problem is herself, drugs are really incidental...It's not IMPOSSIBLE to quit cold turkey! Many have done it no matter how discomforting the withdrawals are. 6 to 8 days and the worst part of heroin withdrawals are over. Once she's shitting solid again, it's about over...Her body needs to re-adjust to being drug free. Then the mental work can start
Girly, if you slipped up 6 months ago, you are not ready to get off. You talk like you're this old pro. Trust me on this one. Stay on your med. Stop talking to the "friends" that use/sell. Stay away from druggies and people who even look like they could be other wise you will be right back on it. Sorry if thats not what you want to hear but it's that truth. Wait till you have years under you belt and you have no thoughts at all about it... Or think you got it and crash
been on 50 mgs for a year tapered down to 20mgs for 6 weeks then quit. it was not easy BUT you can do it IF YOU CAN GET BACK WITH someone to support you for a few weeks and live with them. its to hard to function in life when going through PAWS. 2 weeks clean today.
Shit most people that use methadone use it because it is legal dope, I got sick of chasing pills and runnin out of a month worth of scrips in 5 days so I went to the methadone clinic only so I can take dope legally and not run out and quit spending money on it, now I go every mornin get my dope and go either take care of my kid or go work in my pet shop, no longer am I chasing pills and spending thousands of dollars on them pissin my wife off.
i feel you . i went to methadone after oxys was on it for about a year . i quit cold turkey at 60 mg . im not going to lie to you it is the hardest thing i have ever done . make sure you eat healthy and stay with the person that cares the most for you because you are gonna need them the first couple weeks .im on day 30 and i feel much better . watching your video i have to say i felt the same way as you . you are going to have to fight but you can do this .
i was on methadone for 5 years 80m a day. i slowly reduced my dose over about a month to about 10m a day. for me this was the best way. i still had withdrawels im on day. 20 now and finally feel ok. it sucks but u have to make a decision do u want to be powerless over ur life or suck it up. u did this to ur self so u have to find something u want more in life. stay on that focus and ull be fine dont be weak hearted itll never work. when u get off u feel so happy and like u can start over. trustm
its the hardest thing to have to do ..it was the hardest thing in my life anyways but when the pain is gone and its over and you feel like a human being again and you look back and think to yourself i did it that it feels great it makes all the pain that you had worth it hope this helps sorry for spelling thats what you get for taking drugs and not going school little kiddies
I watched a few of these youtube vids now from the us im shocked that you can go into one of these methodone clinics just for 4 pain killers a day and get your self on methadone for this...i been a addict..recovering addict for nealry 13 years and belive me when i say coming of small amounts of this green monster is gonna hurt the best way now is get to 40 or 35 then go on subutex and off that i belive its the best way maybe get some vallums to.. they help...see doc first ofc good luck
My life..owning a business and two kids did not allow me the luxury of just checking in for a month..cuz ten yrs on methadone..it takes a month easy..you cant lump everyone together...methadone saves lives bit like anything can be used to keep going.
Plastik you have no fucking clue..i was on methadone for ten years...i just recently switched to suboxone...methadone saved my life. I was able to start new then worry about.coming off later..i was too fucked up mentaly and physically to just dry out..btw I own a pharmacy and im very very far from lazy..
ppl that get addicted to done (methadone) are idiots,,,, i know from expirence they are lazy scared Fu*Ks because they dont want to feel sick.. well of course your going to have some discomfort after the done detox. that doesnt mean you jump onto maintance only and idiot would do that honestly.... i know from EXPIRENCE ppl!!! i knwo its a hard hard thing but come on///// thats jsut prolonging it and i know for me i would take the kick AFTER the detox rather than the sickness from dope....
always drop no more than 5% of your current dose. If 60ml come down 3ml a month - if you are on 40ml come down 2ml a month -if 20ml come down 1ml a month -then as you get lower than 20ml stick to your 1ml but increase your withdrawal time to 5 weeks when you get to 15ml and 6 weeks when you reach 10ml. Increase your weeks with 1ml drops every 6 weeks until you are off. Abstinence from methadone take a long time up to 3 years if done right.
You've got to get it through your head that Big Pharma does not care about you. I mean really grasp and believe that. Methadone/buprenorphine is a huge business now, and in for-profit corporations, people take a backseat to profit. I refuse to take any pill or vaccine now, even OTC. They dont know what most of it will do to you
5 mg a week way to fast you will copp in a month, that clinic is setting you up to fail,
PEOPLE THIS IS BIG BUISNESS, YOU STOP TAKING THERE DRUG THEY STOP EATING.. I LIVE IN LAS VEGAS, THERE ARE AS MANY METHADONE CLINICS AS THERE ARE STRIP CLUBS. NOW I BELIVE THAT THIS DRUG SAVED MY LIFE, SOMETHING HAD TO BE DONE, THAT WAS 3 YEARS AGO THIS MONTH I WANT TO GET OFF BUT IM TERRIFIED, IM AT 87MG BEEN THERE FOR OVER A YEAR, AND I SWEATALL DAY AT WORK WITH THE SUN HERE..WHEN U SAY 140 A DAY WAYTOMUCH
@tpvalley 5ml is way too fast. maybe not so much with higher doses but from lower doses the percentage drop rises and this can become very uncomfortable any lower than 25mls as it takes 3 to 4 days before the effect of your taper day kicks in and your body realises it. Methadone is the least withdrawal friendly and very physical and especially mentally debilitating during the latter part of your detox. I have had many withdrawals and all have worked in a physical sympton sense.
@tpvalley Are you reducing down from a high dosage? i.e like higher than 40mls. It is around 40ml that you really should think about reducing down at a slower rate as the percentage drop rises and, like I said, it gets a lot harder as the bodies metabolism is around 3 to 4 days behind your taper day. If you may feel comfortable now. This will not be the case further down the detox. Higher doses like 90ml + will allow for faster rate reductions. The longer maintained the harder the w/drawal.
@tpvalley Methadone withdrawal always plays catch up. Depending on your metabolism the reduction rate takes time to catch up with your metabolism and change can catch up with you further down the road. Please take this into account. I understand some people have reduced before but every withdrawal is different depending on mental and physical attributes. Its not easy even when motivated.
I know; luckily I have an abherrant metabolism; even when on 95mg daily, I would wake up rattling so I metabolise it quite quickly, I can feel a 1mg drop.
even if it does get bad I am home reducing so I have spare.
Good luck, I hope you kick it. I was on heroin for 10 yrs until 4 months ago. In the last 4 months I reduced methadone from 70 to 10 mil a day. I wake up feeling a bit sick and with a painful lower back but I feel OK after taking my dose. Reducing from 70 to 15 was OK but from 15 to 10 was really hard so I expect the final 10 mil will be tough.
t of your system gradually. By reducing the dose every week by, say, 5mg, and then dosing every other day for a couple weeks, then every few days, you can get off of it without harsh w/d's. But don't use it everyday like with the original opiates, otherwise you're just replacing the opiates with a synthetic version that wont Get you as high, but will have worse w/d's.. use carefully and it can have successful outcome.
People always say that methadone "high" isn't shit compared to this,that,etc- methadone is a synthetic. Its not meant to "feel" the same as the others. That's where it CAN help people quit opiates, because it is supposed to be taken as a regiment and eventually tapered off of. If they are trying for a "high"with it, they aren't obviously doing it right, and will eventually w/d from it. Its half life 24hrs, so try to start skipping a day between doses, eventually 2, then 3.. working it ou
@HAMMERxHCA I don't know where you got methadone from, but I practically can't rememeber 2 years I was so high on methadone. Although due to tolerance I'm on way over a litre per week!
@FieldMarshalRommel23 Sigh. You are a fucking idiot. If you were getting HIGH off of methadone you were either misusing it, or MORE likely you are an example of one of the idiots this woman is talking about. You took a few Lortab/Vicodin (Hydrocodone) and instead of just dealing with that withdrawal you choose to exchange a tiny addiction for a monster one.
Your absolutely right, methodone is handed out very easily. I got on it when i was 16(said i was 18), friends told me about the clinic, went and lied i had a heroin habit, 20 mins later i was being dosed 30mg. Got upto 120mg for awhile, then back to 30, went 48 hours without and onto 4mg subutex(expected them but no withdrawls at all) stayed at 4mg 7 days, then 2mg 3 days and 0.8 for 3 more and stopped without any real problems. If you start feeling sorry 4 urself, imagine living in Somalia
You would be surprised the number of people I know that were just on minimal doses of Hydrocodone, Oxycodone, etc.(short acting opiates) that switched to Methadone or suboxone and now they are 10 times worse off! The clinics helps you meet people with connects to harder drugs and suboxone blocks them so they switch to fentanyl, oxymorphone, methadone that can break thru at high doses usually thru a needle(not methadone) now even though they never touched a needle beforehand!
was on Methadone for 4 years--110 mgs--been off for 6 months as well as other opiates--wish i never would have been to a clinic--its been 6 months and i still sweat at night-leg spasms--wish i wouldhave just manned up yrs ago -slave to the clinic---its worse than Heroin to kick--methadone is a life sentence-at the time it seemed like better solution--WRONG
I AM 30 AND BEEN ON METHADONE FOR 8-9 YEARS AND I AM ON METHADONE AS WELL I AM ON 140 GOING DOWN AND AS OF NOW 120 AND I WANT TO SAY THAT YOUR DOING THE BEST THING YOU COULD EVER DO FOR YOURSELF BY GETTING OFF NOW IF YOU WAIT ANY LONGER CHANCES ARE SLIMMER
i see on here things like "heroin withdrawl is the worst!" or morphine, percocet, oxycontin(stands for oxycodone continuous). AN OPIATE IS AN OPIATE! the amount may matter, but to each person it's different. but all opiate withdrawl produces the same symtems. i elected to stay on my benzo, & i drive daily to get my methadone as a result, but i'm better than i used to be. i know people that used pain pills to help with their methadone withdrawl. um..an opiate is an opiate. now darvocet..well. lol
so as far as using methadone for pills, like i said an opiate is an opiate, opiate withdrawl is opiate withdrawl, just longer lasting. that's the only difference to me.
an opiate is an opiate. i've used them all. i have never used heroin, but the methadone to me as far as a high goes isn't shit as compared to oxycodone and some others. i cannot begin to tell you how many pills i've snorted and eaten. not no 6 lortab a day. my habit was as bad as a heroin addict. i'm on 60mg of methadone. i don't buy extra methadone and i have not gone over 60mg a day. i don't want to use. i could not go on suboxone. my insurance didn't cover it. i had no choice.
I went from 80mls 2 cold turkey and after a week and a half i was just feeling worse, so i ended up on suboxone went from 4mls 1st day up 2 10mls by end of week, that must av been bout 4wk ago, Im down 2 4mls now and going down 2 2mls next week, feeling bit ruff 2day but been worse so sod it, I think u need 2 suffer a bit 2 put things into perspective. Every one should enjoy atleast one cluck in there life time !! lol !! Hang in there All of you, it gets easier, I promise, u just have 2 want it
The key is to face the fear of being sick. Everyone wants to avoid being sick so you keep using. The way I did it, was set my mind to "I don't even care if I get sick". You have to be like, BRING IT ON!!! Look foward to the withdrawl because once you get through it in a few days and don't use, its going to feel like you already did dope, or already took your methadone. Having it set in your mind that your not going to use no matter how bad it gets, it ends up not that bad. Mind is everything
@41143115 spot on thats exactly how i got off of it i was doing press ups shouting send on the withdrawals lol exactly like u says i was looking forward to the rattles thats how positve i was lol
i have successfully tapered off of methadone and am living a new life because of it for anyone that thinks it is not possible. It was a struggle for years still wanting to get high and wanting to get clean at the same time. Once I finally wanted to stop shooting heroin, it took about 2 years to go from 110 mgs- 0 mgs. If you taper 2-5 mgs per week, you won't even feel the decrease. If you taper down to 10 mgs or lower, your not going to have much of a withdrawl. I laughed during my withdrawl
...recommend going cold turkey or trying to quit quickly. Slow gradual taper would probably be the best for success. Good luck to anyone out there trying to end the worst addiction i have ever experienced. Unless you are a hardcore heroin addict... i would NEVER suggest using methadone. I believe the clinics are there primarily for the money they know people will keep shelling out. Legalized drug pushers of the worst kind.
Methadone is insidious. Belly of the Beast is right! I was on methadone for about 2yrs. Due to financial..was forced to end the program. I was on 140mg dose at the time..had 2 home doses.. i separated them into quarters so at the end of 8 days of pure hell. i ran out. I have never experienced this kind of horrible withdrawal from any other drug.. Throwing up, feeling like my feet were made of concrete.. total lack of energy, not to mention the complete inability to concentrate. I do not...
Unfortunately, I don't have any advice as far as getting off of Methadone because I have yet to do so myself, but I can totally relate to you when you say that you're scared as shit because I too am afraid of the physical withdrawal as well as losing the mental comfort that it's given me. Like you said, it's the one thing that I've done every day for quite a while now. I realize this video was made a year ago, so I'm curious as to how you're doing now, whether you succeeded in quitting or not.:)
@knelledkismet Ibogaine was tried in the US years ago, and those who have gotten clean on it swear by it. It is not available in mainstream medical in US, however I don't think it is exactly illegal, either. I have heard of doctors in Florida that will do Ibogaine detoxes in motel rooms. Bring a good friend! You can go to Mexico, PR. and get it. The research is not as complete, and it uses a different mechanism than BUP, DONE. I have not used it in clinical setting. Not familiar w hyuaska. GL
@minotauroNog Check your info or try Wikipedia. BUP is partial agonist, allows others to bind. NAL is antagonist, fully blocks opiate receptor with no effect, replaces anything in receptor. Perhaps you took SUBUTEX, 8 mg orange, no NARCAN in it.Naloxone is released if subOXONE is crushed, snorted, injuected.There to prevent abuse by client, naloxone will have no effect in opiate naive; so it does has street value.Pls B careful. Not worth it. Takes 10 days to get right again on Done
I got totally clean by using a clinic in Harogate North Yorkshire called Detox 5 where they knock you out with loads of drugs and you sleep for 5 days. I was pretty ill for a couple of weeks but it works i have been in 3 times cos i was doing it for the wrong reasons i wish i had that chance again i hate been on methadone it's so tying.
Try withdrawal by reducing the amount by a PERCENTAGE of your total dose. Most people can tolerate a 10% reduction. At 100 mgs., that would drop you 10 mgs., but when you get to 10 mgs., you would only drop 1 mg. at a time. If you start having problems, hold for a few weeks or even increase it back. I understand that the last 1 mg./day is as painful to quit as 100 mgs/day
The worst time is night time it is when you will fel he worst and you will just want to die or run out and find a dope man just to get some relief if you can taper down slowly slower the better then this will be easier for you Still even coming of 1mg dose to nothing you will still feel like death so just stay strong and try to get as much sleep and exercise as you can cause that is key to healing your brain
Also it is easy to do the methadone but to taper off you are going to feel sick. You should taper off as slowly as you can! I am on day 10 of my withdrawal before the clinic I was using 2 grams of h a day and when i got on the clinic I was at a holding dose of 90. I came down 12 a day for 7 days and the only thing that has helped me to sleep has been my acupuncture I know some ppl may say that's dumb but truly if you can get acupuncture everyday if possible do it! it will help you get to bed.
No matter how much you do,even if you get down to only 5mg a day: it's not until you stop completely that the withdrawal is a beast. It's because of the chemical composition of Methadone having that long half-life and being so psychologically addictive. Make sure you do:1 L Methionine,2reduced Glutathione,3an adrenal support supplement,4Melatonin and valerian root for sleep,5L-Glutamine,6a full spectrum antioxidant,7protein drinks8clonodine9"Liveractive" a homepathic spray.10. vit-c Cheers.
Do yourself a favour and get off this crap as soon as you feel you can. Dont do wot Ive just dun and go at it alone, or at least do sum shopping first, I knew there was something i had forgotten, wot a plank !! Im not gona lie, doing the way I have is bloody hard, and right here right now, I really dont know if I can handle another 2-3 weeks of this shit, but I guess you gotta try right ?? On the bright side it aint all bad, I aint had a fag for days now, maybe I'll quit !? :-)
Ive been on the methadone for bout 5yrs now, this year i desided that i had enuff and wanted off, but the place i go arent as helpfull wen it comes to getting off it, they had no problem starting me on it, but thats a different story, any way i got from 100ml down to 80ml and got sick of asking for help so last saturday (today is thursady i think) i took my last 80mls and today im feeling it hardcore, Sunday was ok, monday was a bit crap, tuesday was unpleasant, wednesday was shit, today is Hell
I had to spend two weeks in jail an was on methadone..I swear i didnt eat one thing an had diarhhea for all 2 weeks an lost 17 pounds..I have no idea where the diarhhea kept coming from,i swear it was pure hell.An my celli hated me..The 2 weeks seemed like about 2 years too.
@knelledkismet NARCAN is naloxone, and is used to reverse opiate overdose. It can also be found in Suboxone, which is Buprenorphine and Naloxone. The naloxone prevents abuse of the Buprenorphine. Narcan does not HELP a person on opiates, but could certainly KILL someone who is on an effective dose of methadone.
@mariesrun420 narcan in suboxone doesn't do shit, Bup binds tighter than naloxone does, so therefore if you snort an orange sub you will get VERY VERY high. Im on 140mgs of methadone, so, im no lightweight either.
im gonna make a video tonight, explaining my journey with methadone, i go into detox in 2 weeks for 2 weeks and im absoloutley shitting myself, even tho im only on 6 mil...but ill explain details on my video and hopefully it will help others that are still trapped by this nasty poison! xxxxx
the best advice i can give is go into a medical detox(suboxone,clonidine) work the best I came off 80-120mg of methadone two years ago and havent touched it since.
if you need any advise....believe me i know everything about methadone...i started when i was very young...and like i said it saved my life from certain death because in puerto rico the H is very pure form junkies die every day here od O.D.'S,i would advise u to decrease 2 miligrams every month so your body n'brain doesnt feel it,that way youll get out of it safe..it's the only way i see it for you...it would have worked for me if i hadnt wasted so many years & i had internet before.
this is part 2 of my comment.......so it almost killed me to kick a 76 miligrams i was sick for almost 6 months,after that the anxiety made me relapse.then i started again and the same thing after the time i had to increase because i started to feel like i was'nt takin it.after a while like after the first 3 years it becomes useless and youre fucked.that's what methadone does...its a drug to be at most 2-3 years....after that either you go to buprenorphine or you can try other kinds of detox way
@anticucarachas1 after reading a lot of the posts about what ppl right about methadone, I think you are very on point and have a lot of knowledge.Also, good advice.
you asked.ok,i am 34 years old.i am from puerto rico.i started on methadone in 1996.....it's 2011!!!.ok,i started on the methadone and it saved my life.i was addicted to more than a bondo (10 bags of heroin,the kind you can only find in places like this...almost 70 % pure H.the thing was that at the start i was in 80 mg,then the problem was that time passes by and the you start to feel like if you r not taking the meth,so u increase it.im in a 188 mg dose daily.i kicked itin a 76 it was hell
I think you are just fooling yourself and need to get real here. I am speaking of experience I went through. methadone is a joke and is worse to detox from than anything else. if you are planning on stopping, be ready to endure months of agony. methadone is another drug for/to you... you are still an addict... whether you drink the pink shit or take the pills.. you are in methadonia... consider subutex or suboxone.. much shorter program for people who seriously want their lives back...
To anyone planning to come off of methadone or other opiates-ive gone through withdrawals over fifty times in my life - been on opiates over half my life and still battling this addiction- so consider me a friggen expert.. if there is a good side to withdrawaling - its the returning of the senses.. music- emotions of any kind- feelings of love and everything that makes you human and that other people get to feel that arent addicted.. these return and remind you what its like to feel normal.

Im withdrawing from 70mgs bc my doctor put me on it for a car accident. im down to 9mgs & if you teach yourself to control your anxiety & KEEP YOURSELF BUSY its been easy. i go down 3 mgs/wk now that im low & its the lack of sleep
& boredom thats the worst. I have real bad anxiety to begin with but trust me tuck your tits in & just do it. I would do the 1 a day. i got to choose how many i went down but do it at your own pace. ull be fine. people make it ALOT worse than it is.
on my clinic ppl are seriously there from 2 perks a day, its really sad, because now there hooked, i got on at 19 im 24 now n was planning being on it for a couple months...haha....this will be my 4th attempt coming off. i was a hardcore junky before n it still dosent compare to the metal hold the meth has on me. its extrmely hard i feel your struggle, n i also need support to get off this shit once n for all, please write back if u want to talk
@xXbabiXredXx you should switch to subutex or suboxone if you are really serious about getting clean of methadone.. anything else along those lines. I have been through the wringer on all of these meds and have found what works best and is safe and with the least withdrawal when you are ready to come back to earth with no crutch.
@birdyyyful i am now on 12 mils and looking for suboxone, the doctors r like $300 just to get a couple pills. I've done suboxone many times before trying to get off heroine. methadone has always been my crutch, I've been on 6mils for months before just because i was to much of a pussy to let go. its just very scary when u have a family and kids that u cannot fuck up, because its about there lives now not mine. and that's why i want to get off, I'm just terrified.
but hey even a person taking only 6 lortabs a day for an extended period of time can be hardcore on them long term both mentally and physically. just because other people are doing more hardocre drugs and heavier doses, doesnt mean that the other person who is taking less isnt having emotional probs. some people eacerbate the exact same symptoms as others do even though everyone takes diff doses. ive been on ultram and hydrocodone off and on for 12 years now and its time for it to stop
its bad shit to be on like u get to the point were u cant even walk to ur friends house without being on it it is just something that ur brain tells u i have to be on this or i cant do this so just keep up the fight u will eventually become completely clean and ur brain will feel like u are 10 years old again u will have alot of energy ur imagination comes back u are able to be sharp on things but while on this shit everything in ur thoughts are always dull and blank
Start reducing slowly. I've been on methadone, benzo's, gear the lot. I would drop it a couple ml a day, i do not recommend rapid detoxification off methadone. Trust me i've done it and i have never suffered so much in my life. You'll get there, just believe in yourself. Keep on fighting the disease. You're a soldier. No Surrender.
i dont no anybody who stop habits w/o longterm support- i did aa and na for 90 days straight-just listened to ppl-this is serious even if so many have habits (reflex behavior) compulsion- nothing is more imp than yr support-its yr life-not job not school not love-only yr support to have in stressful time-longtime members of aa can be there -u can od so fast-"just one time more"-take care-take magesium/calcium every 2 hrs for life-im way calmer "relief" is what i feel-keep on-get friends in aa
u try used round the clock magnesium/calcium?gives back the minerals to nerves that drug took out-it relaxed so LESS CRAVINGS-hope u do well-keep on-no withdrawal cramps-b/c magnesium RELAXESmuscles-a study used magnesium/calcium-to stop suicidal compulsion IN ONE WEEK-patients felt relief-happier-is there interest among your friends for this type of nutrition project?also mag/calc will help even when using-especially cures constipation-it takes the drug poison out of the body-TRY IT
it's a cash grab for the doctor...every visit these fuckers get paid..shit sinks into your bones and so hard to taper...post another video let us know your ok
Let's talk about the physical effects of methadone. I am in 3 years on a dose of 80 and feel that I have been lied to by my dr. I haven't had a period in 3 years and I am only 37. Some would say thats bonus but.. My teeth are starting to ache on a daily basis, not to mention the fact that I have had 3 molars pulled throughout the 3 years. I started on methadone because of a serious addiction to oxy's, percs, hydro morph, I had back surgery in 07 and still suffer but I want off.
@INVU4URAQTOK - Methadone is a lipophilic molecule (literally 'fat-loving') so when you eat sugar or fats, the methadone will attack it on your teeth, causing decay. To hold on to your teeth you MUST stay away from sugars and high sat. fat foods.
To get off Methadone, I hear the best advice is 1 mg/week.
I am a 23 yr old writer/poet and inexorably an opiate/opiod addict. I use one 50 mcg fentanyl patch and 20 or more 7.5mg Vicodin per day and 15 Tylenol PM. I suffer from chronic pain from a terrible automobile accident. I use to use 150mg of methadone per day and 500mg of ms contin. I never used H. It is the opiates I use to ease the pain of the wounds in my heart. To numb the memories. To blur the lines between the agony of remembrance and the euphoria of nodding out.
@IceXMan87 - Oh no! Stop with the Tylenol PM man, that's no good! Opiates are nature's best anti-depressants. They make everything unnoticeable- in a good way. Yo're too young to let your lief pass you by, there's so much good out there you can't see with those blinder's on! Take a step back, try to wean off slowly. You don't want to be 50 yeas old and in the same position as you are now, right? You can change this.
@IceXMan87 dude ur going to die before this year is over ur takeing 20 or more 7.5 vics a day ur liver is going to eat itself u probably have worms in ur stomic eating itself away just stop dude ur really going to die just quit cold turkey it will be a rough 2 months but u will live if u do that if u keep going u might aswell say goodbye to life ur only 23 get off this shit dude it ruined my life im the same age as u i have had my addicttion probablem already
i was on 90 took other opiates to get off meth which worked but drug centres dont want to help unless you do it there way which is usually years of tyreament if they said heres a drug made by the nazis you would think fuck that cold turkey is the best way it takes weejks but the reward is great programs are to make money out of addicts look you dont see a skint drug worker or doctor they are pushers of the so called new age just do your rip people and feel some pain you wont die
I'm with you Sister- How are you doing now? If you need to chat, I'm in the same place... I see this video is older, so I hope you are doing much, much better. I wish the best for us all- I am afraid too- but am SO SICK of feeling like a slave to the drone. Feel free to contact me anytime.
my highest dose was 70 , I went down slowly to 35, then i went down 3 every second week now i'm at 12. surprisingly my bones don't ache yet but i feel really uncomfortable. Everything bothers me , i think im going insane . I'm thinking of going way back up, I need some advice
@jellocostello - It feels like you're going insane but I promise, your not. All of this will pass, usually within 2 weeks to a month. Just hang in there,you're doing so well! Remember, you're not crazy, it just feels like that right now. Keep plowing through.
im 28, and i was on 80mg for a yr, Took about 3 or 4mg cut a week for a while, then did the rest blind, it took a little over 4 months, it wasnt bad. As long as you arent using ANY other drugs, weening off is fine. I recomend doing a BLIND detox, really helps the mental side. U can come off 70 real easy, just do it slow. Its SO worth it to get off, so much internet hype says methadon is imposs to come offof, this is bull, you just have to do it right. Trust me I did it, I now LOVE life. gdluck
i eventually got somewhat of a grip on my intake( i eventually started shooting and snorting)I knew if i didnt slow down,i wasnt gonna see my kid turn 18.i am only 36,and i do have a legit pain issue,but i am in a situation where i have to come off,lost my job and my insurance,so doc wont see me w/o it.i imagine i could push and get referred somewhere else,but i am tired,i want to remember what it feelslike to breath the air or feel the rain on my skin and not have that evil in my system
i could take 40 to 50 10 mg tablets and be functional in public,work etc.nobody could see behind closed doors,i did a good job of hiding from my 16 yr old that lives w/ me,the times i have fell,i lost count,i have broken ribs,fallen of my back porch,had to have my upperleft ear reattached,cause it got ripped when i nodded out and fell into the razor sharp edge of A tv stand.I didnt thinki was overdoin it at all,i was always careful to not let but very few come around me when i was this way.
you find out who your buddies are when you aint got nothin'I was getting 420 methadone a month(140 mg daily) and 60 100 mg morphine sulphate(2 a day) plus muscle relaxers,neurontin,phenergan,.Everybody was my friend then,but in under 2 months, i have absolutely 0 people who are now my "buddy".This stuff steals your sell,and makes you stay in hell to get it back.you need to try and get off it now,it gets so deep inside you.You can build up an outrageous tolerance
I have been on it for over 10 years,and am trying to get off it.I have been going to A pain center for 9 years,got laid off,lost my insurance,and they dont take cash only.So I have no choice but to try and get off.I started off going to A clinic ,which are jokes,they enable people on lower class opiates to get on methadone,the clinic here will take you no matter what you use?If you have only been on it one year,GET OFF NOW. You have to get away from people who take them and can get them.
I have been on methadone for ten years and just got back on it after staying off of it for a year. I didn't go about detoxing off of it in the right way. I suggest that you make sure you are ready and you will know if you are, but don't lie to yourself. Next is when tapering down, do it as slow as you possibly can. That was one of the most important things in the success stories that I have witnessed. I am going to try and do it right this time. Good luck in your fight against this demon.

Good luck with getting off Methadone. And how do you do it? One day at a time that all we have ever had. Make a daily visit to a NA or AA meeting to replace clinic visits. Find people who can relate to you and you will hear your story. You are going to be having alot of feelings coming up along with the physical symptoms. So you show up at a NA meeting or if in a large enough community a MA meeting and ask for help, phone numbers from women...call 3 women a day. Get a sponsor. JC

Methadone was created by Nazi scientists in WW2.Totally synthetic cuz Hitler was bombing the fuck outta Europe and Nazis didnt have a steady opiate supply.It is THE MOST WICKED opiate to withdrawl from...they dont call it "liquid handcuffs"without good reason.Withdrawls last over a month so my advice is do what you have to-but research what your getting into..its not the flowers&rainbows happy perfect cure all thats its sold as...its another ADDICTION..and a worse one at that!

LOOK UP IBOGAINE> type in "ibogaine methadone"" just those 2 words, then watch as many videos as you can of people who did the ibogaine treatment on methadone and what they felt like after words. and remember this: no matter how much you feel nervous/unsure about the effects of the ibogaine (like possible negative side effects), think of how HORRIBLE opiates in general are for your body; one dose of ibogaine is nothing compared to the side effects heroin/methadone on your life/body/mind/etc...=]

And your probably completely full of shit anyway. Because everybody knows that when you keep your dose at 7O you can still get fucking high. Which is probably why you're on that low of a dose nEway. Also explains your relapses & the urge to snort oxy codone twice while on methadone maintenance...

Time I snorted oxy codone and they didn't come up in my urine test so I took that as message from god and I was never gonna do it again BUT THEN I did it ANOTHER time BUT it was only a LITTLE BIT.

Classes or a group such as synthetics, semi- synthetic, and natural opium derived opiates. Also there are alkaloids, opioids and opiates. Which are all different. You need to educate yourself further obviously. Now methadone falls in 2 of the three. It's an alkaloid & an opioid, which basically means that it's mostly synthetic with a small amount of semi synthetic opiods... an email the comment that I'm trying to discuss without writing a freaking book here....

You are obviously very naive to think that prescription opiates are not as serious as heroin... furthermore if you don't know this already there are different

Methadone works just fine for me. I was going through 250 mg a day of ocs n other stuff. I finally got off of every opiate just by using methadone. This helped me go back to work and do everything my none addict friends do. The good thing is that you don't get high of any other opiate while taking methadone.

I relate to your fear. And nearly everything you say. (I've got a long time on 'done.) You are talking about tapering way, way, WAAAYYY too fast! I'm afraid if you hear what the reccommended taper schedule is, you will reject it. The diabetic thing is crap. Be CAREFUL what you listen to. Also when it comes down to it, the seemingly "corny" things they tell us as to how we have to change our lives, turns out to be largely true.
Again, PLEASE be careful about what you listen to.

SUBOXONE just do 2mg r less for 1 month then taper off next month and your good. People stay on it to get fucked up for 6 months plus you dont need it that long. Although there are physical symptoms for most drugs i promise half the battle is mental. I was doin lots of suboxone up until the day i went to bootcamp, yes withdrawl during bootcamp but since i was so busy didnt even think about it.

Thats wrong to say that someone on Viccodin shouldn't be on Methadone because the addiction has nothing to do with coming off and trying to get clean. Addiction is addiction no matter what the substance if they don't care then tell because people who want help deserve it regardless of the addictive substance if they don't care they need to leave.

XxMaLcLmPwNsxX 1 month ago
@callmeservant Basically shes saying that you might as well switch to heroin if youre going to use methadone to get off of vicoden. My advice is to lower the dosage and ween yourself off. I know thats easier said than done, but you have to have someone help you, administer the dosage and keep your vics locked away until its time for the next dose. Maybe suboxone would be ok too, but only for a short term method, as long term use suboxone withdrawal is pretty much the same as methadone's.

If you go to the clinic EVERY day then your clinic does NOT allow privilges, like "take home" with a clean urinalysis after their required amount of days . If you take the bull by it's horns and decide to get dose down, you WILL experience withdrawal. That's where you fight & betray all others to remain clean! It is IMPOSSIBLE to quit cold turkey. Your body will NOT allow this. You will have NO choice but to go back to the clinic. "Natural" opiates will NOT help u. Google IBOGAINE

@wickidwanda IBOGAINE? meaning more DRUGS? She's an addict, MORE drugs aren't the answer. Addiction means MORE. She needs to learn that the problem is herself, drugs are really incidental...It's not IMPOSSIBLE to quit cold turkey! Many have done it no matter how discomforting the withdrawals are. 6 to 8 days and the worst part of heroin withdrawals are over. Once she's shitting solid again, it's about over...Her body needs to re-adjust to being drug free. Then the mental work can start

I watched a few of these youtube vids now from the us im shocked that you can go into one of these methodone clinics just for 4 pain killers a day and get your self on methadone for this...i been a addict..recovering addict for nealry 13 years and belive me when i say coming of small amounts of this green monster is gonna hurt the best way now is get to 40 or 35 then go on subutex and off that i belive its the best way maybe get some vallums to.. they help...see doc first ofc good luck

I have NEVER met or known anyone that succesfully stopped using methadone.
I have seen Suboxone work but NEVER methjadone.
Everybody that I know that did methadone stayed on it permantly.
Methadone is hard core shit. Withdrawl lasts for months. I think it is pointless.
Suboxone works much better.
BTW sweetie. Oxycontin (Oxycodone) does not show up on a regular drug test.
They have to test specifically for Oxycodone in order to detect it. Trust me, I know what im talking about.

always drop no more than 5% of your current dose. If 60ml come down 3ml a month - if you are on 40ml come down 2ml a month -if 20ml come down 1ml a month -then as you get lower than 20ml stick to your 1ml but increase your withdrawal time to 5 weeks when you get to 15ml and 6 weeks when you reach 10ml. Increase your weeks with 1ml drops every 6 weeks until you are off. Abstinence from methadone take a long time up to 3 years if done right.

You've got to get it through your head that Big Pharma does not care about you. I mean really grasp and believe that. Methadone/buprenorphine is a huge business now, and in for-profit corporations, people take a backseat to profit. I refuse to take any pill or vaccine now, even OTC.

5mg is fine, I am reducing 10mg a week with no symptoms after 11 years of maintenance.
if supply is no problem then methadone is fine, opium and morphine are better and easier to quit, Ive rattled from most opiates!
The average maintenance dose is between 90-120mg for it to be stable.
I am down to 80mg now, its no problem, just chill out and go with it; if u dont mentally crave the drug u have no obstacle but time.
tpvalley 6 months ago
@tpvalley 5ml is way too fast. maybe not so much with higher doses but from lower doses the percentage drop rises and this can become very uncomfortable any lower than 25mls as it takes 3 to 4 days before the effect of your taper day kicks in and your body realises it. Methadone is the least withdrawal friendly and very physical and especially mentally debilitating during the latter part of your detox. I have had many withdrawals and all have worked in a physical sympton sense.

tpvalley 5 months ago
@tpvalley Are you reducing down from a high dosage? i.e like higher than 40mls. It is around 40ml that you really should think about reducing down at a slower rate as the percentage drop rises and, like I said, it gets a lot harder as the bodies metabolism is around 3 to 4 days behind your taper day. If you may feel comfortable now. This will not be the case further down the detox. Higher doses like 90ml + will allow for faster rate reductions. The longer maintained the harder the w/drawal.
sowhatsnew205 5 months ago
@tpvalley Methadone withdrawal always plays catch up. Depending on your metabolism the reduction rate takes time to catch up with your metabolism and change can catch up with you further down the road. Please take this into account. I understand some people have reduced before but every withdrawal is different depending on mental and physical attributes. Its not easy even when motivated.

I know; luckily I have an abherrant metabolism; even when on 95mg daily, I would wake up rattling so I metabolise it quite quickly, I can feel a 1mg drop.

Good luck, I hope you kick it. I was on heroin for 10 yrs until 4 months ago. In the last 4 months I reduced methadone from 70 to 10 mil a day. I wake up feeling a bit sick and with a painful lower back but I feel OK after taking my dose. Reducing from 70 to 15 was OK but from 15 to 10 was really hard so I expect the final 10 mil will be tough.

t of your system gradually. By reducing the dose every week by, say, 5mg, and then dosing every other day for a couple weeks, then every few days, you can get off of it without harsh w/d's. But don't use it everyday like with the original opiates, otherwise you're just replacing the opiates with a synthetic version that wont Get you as high, but will have worse w/d's.. use carefully and it can have successful outcome.

People always say that methadone "high" isn't shit compared to this,that,etc- methadone is a synthetic. Its not meant to "feel" the same as the others. That's where it CAN help people quit opiates, because it is supposed to be taken as a regiment and eventually tapered off of. If they are trying for a "high"with it, they aren't obviously doing it right, and will eventually w/d from it. Its half life 24hrs, so try to start skipping a day between doses, eventually 2, then 3.. working it ou

You took a few Lortab/Vicodin (Hydrocodone) and instead of just dealing with that withdrawal you choose to exchange a tiny addiction for a monster one.

Your absolutely right, methodone is handed out very easily.

Got upto 120mg for awhile, then back to 30, went 48 hours without and onto 4mg subutex(expected them but no withdrawls at all) stayed at 4mg 7 days, then 2mg 3 days and 0.8 for 3 more and stopped without any real problems.

You would be surprised the number of people I know that were just on minimal doses of Hydrocodone, Oxycodone, etc.(short acting opiates) that switched to Methadone or suboxone and now they are 10 times worse off! The clinics helps you meet people with connects to harder drugs and suboxone blocks them so they switch to fentanyl, oxymorphone, methadone that can break thru at high doses usually thru a needle(not methadone) now even though they never touched a needle beforehand!

The key is to face the fear of being sick. Everyone wants to avoid being sick so you keep using. The way I did it, was set my mind to "I don't even care if I get sick". You have to be like, BRING IT ON!!! Look foward to the withdrawl because once you get through it in a few days and don't use, its going to feel like you already did dope, or already took your methadone. Having it set in your mind that your not going to use no matter how bad it gets, it ends up not that bad. Mind is everything

i have successfully tapered off of methadone and am living a new life because of it for anyone that thinks it is not possible. It was a struggle for years still wanting to get high and wanting to get clean at the same time. Once I finally wanted to stop shooting heroin, it took about 2 years to go from 110 mgs- 0 mgs. If you taper 2-5 mgs per week, you won't even feel the decrease. If you taper down to 10 mgs or lower, your not going to have much of a withdrawl. I laughed during my withdrawl
41143115 7 months ago
...recommend going cold turkey or trying to quit quickly. Slow gradual taper would probably be the best for success. Good luck to anyone out there trying to end the worst addiction i have ever experienced. Unless you are a hardcore heroin addict... i would NEVER suggest using methadone. I believe the clinics are there primarily for the money they know people will keep shelling out. Legalized drug pushers of the worst kind.

Methadone is insidious. Belly of the Beast is right! I was on methadone for about 2yrs. Due to financial..was forced to end the program.

Unfortunately, I don't have any advice as far as getting off of Methadone because I have yet to do so myself, but I can totally relate to you when you say that you're scared as shit because I too am afraid of the physical withdrawal as well as losing the mental comfort that it's given me. Like you said, it's the one thing that I've done every day for quite a while now.

@minotauroNog Check your info or try Wikipedia. BUP is partial agonist, allows others to bind. NAL is antagonist, fully blocks opiate receptor with no effect, replaces anything in receptor. Perhaps you took SUBUTEX, 8 mg orange, no NARCAN in it.Naloxone is released if subOXONE is crushed, snorted, injuected.There to prevent abuse by client, naloxone will have no effect in opiate naive; so it does has street value.Pls B careful.

mrmojorisin291278 7 months ago
Try withdrawal by reducing the amount by a PERCENTAGE of your total dose. Most people can tolerate a 10% reduction. At 100 mgs., that would drop you 10 mgs., but when you get to 10 mgs., you would only drop 1 mg. at a time. If you start having problems, hold for a few weeks or even increase it back. I understand that the last 1 mg./day is as painful to quit as 100 mgs/day
mariesrun420 7 months ago
The worst time is night time it is when you will fel he worst and you will just want to die or run out and find a dope man just to get some relief if you can taper down slowly slower the better then this will be easier for you Still even coming of 1mg dose to nothing you will still feel like death so just stay strong and try to get as much sleep and exercise as you can cause that is key to healing your brain

Also it is easy to do the methadone but to taper off you are going to feel sick. You should taper off as slowly as you can!

I came down 12 a day for 7 days and the only thing that has helped me to sleep has been my acupuncture I know some ppl may say that's dumb but truly if you can get acupuncture everyday if possible do it! it will help you get to bed.

No matter how much you do,even if you get down to only 5mg a day: it's not until you stop completely that the withdrawal is a beast.

@knelledkismet NARCAN is naloxone, and is used to reverse opiate overdose. It can also be found in Suboxone, which is Buprenorphine and Naloxone. The naloxone prevents abuse of the Buprenorphine. Narcan does not HELP a person on opiates, but could certainly KILL someone who is on an effective dose of methadone.

Start reducing slowly. I've been on methadone, benzo's, gear the lot. I would drop it a couple ml a day, i do not recommend rapid detoxification off methadone. Trust me i've done it and i have never suffered so much in my life. You'll get there, just believe in yourself. Keep on fighting the disease. You're a soldier. No Surrender.

Let's talk about the physical effects of methadone. I am in 3 years on a dose of 80 and feel that I have been lied to by my dr. I haven't had a period in 3 years and I am only 37. Some would say thats bonus but.. My teeth are starting to ache on a daily basis, not to mention the fact that I have had 3 molars pulled throughout the 3 years. I started on methadone because of a serious addiction to oxy's, percs, hydro morph, I had back surgery in 07 and still suffer but I want off.

@INVU4URAQTOK - Methadone is a lipophilic molecule (literally 'fat-loving') so when you eat sugar or fats, the methadone will attack it on your teeth, causing decay. To hold on to your teeth you MUST stay away from sugars and high sat. fat foods.
To get off Methadone, I hear the best advice is 1 mg/week.

I am a 23 yr old writer/poet and inexorably an opiate/opiod addict. I use one 50 mcg fentanyl patch and 20 or more 7.5mg Vicodin per day and 15 Tylenol PM. I suffer from chronic pain from a terrible automobile accident. I use to use 150mg of methadone per day and 500mg of ms contin. I never used H. It is the opiates I use to ease the pain of the wounds in my heart. To numb the memories. To blur the lines between the agony of remembrance and the euphoria of nodding out.

@IceXMan87 - Oh no! Stop with the Tylenol PM man, that's no good! Opiates are nature's best anti-depressants. They make everything unnoticeable- in a good way. Yo're too young to let your lief pass you by, there's so much good out there you can't see with those blinder's on! Take a step back, try to wean off slowly. You don't want to be 50 yeas old and in the same position as you are now, right? You can change this.

my highest dose was 70 , I went down slowly to 35, then i went down 3 every second week now i'm at 12. surprisingly my bones don't ache yet but i feel really uncomfortable. Everything bothers me , i think im going insane . I'm thinking of going way back up, I need some advice
jellocostello 1 year ago
@jellocostello - It feels like you're going insane but I promise, your not. All of this will pass, usually within 2 weeks to a month. Just hang in there,you're doing so well! Remember, you're not crazy, it just feels like that right now. Keep plowing through.

im 28, and i was on 80mg for a yr, Took about 3 or 4mg cut a week for a while, then did the rest blind, it took a little over 4 months, it wasnt bad. As long as you arent using ANY other drugs, weening off is fine. I recomend doing a BLIND detox, really helps the mental side. U can come off 70 real easy, just do it slow. Its SO worth it to get off, so much internet hype says methadon is imposs to come offof, this is bull, you just have to do it right. Trust me I did it, I now LOVE life. gdluck

i eventually got somewhat of a grip on my intake( i eventually started shooting and snorting)I knew if i didnt slow down,i wasnt gonna see my kid turn 18.i am only 36,and i do have a legit pain issue,but i am in a situation where i have to come off,lost my job and my insurance,so doc wont see me w/o it.i imagine i could push and get referred somewhere else,but i am tired,i want to remember what it feelslike to breath the air or feel the rain on my skin and not have that evil in my system

i could take 40 to 50 10 mg tablets and be functional in public,work etc.nobody could see behind closed doors,i did a good job of hiding from my 16 yr old that lives w/ me,the times i have fell,i lost count,i have broken ribs,fallen of my back porch,had to have my upperleft ear reattached,cause it got ripped when i nodded out and fell into the razor sharp edge of A tv stand.I didnt thinki was overdoin it at all,i was always careful to not let but very few come around me when i was this way.
TheAngelus1898 1 year ago
you find out who your buddies are when you aint got nothin'I was getting 420 methadone a month(140 mg daily) and 60 100 mg morphine sulphate(2 a day) plus muscle relaxers,neurontin,phenergan,.Everybody was my friend then,but in under 2 months, i have absolutely 0 people who are now my "buddy".This stuff steals your sell,and makes you stay in hell to get it back.you need to try and get off it now,it gets so deep inside you.You can build up an outrageous tolerance
TheAngelus1898 1 year ago
I have been on it for over 10 years,and am trying to get off it.I have been going to A pain center for 9 years,got laid off,lost my insurance,and they dont take cash only.So I have no choice but to try and get off.I started off going to A clinic ,which are jokes,they enable people on lower class opiates to get on methadone,the clinic here will take you no matter what you use?If you have only been on it one year,GET OFF NOW. You have to get away from people who take them and can get them.
