Been on methadone 2 yrs 80 mg. It did save my life from heroin but now I am severly addicted to meth. I miss a day and I cry and am in such agony. I plan to stay on for life. So I won't worry to much about going off. But I wish I could have found another way. But I know if I went off meth I would have a needle in my arm right off!!

@sumbunniwubsu i was on methadone for 5 years still withdrawaling from them, got only a couple of days left i know its tough i've been there but you have to quit, take it day by day, drink ALOT of water(helps flush your system) it will be worth it in the end i already feel alot better than i did on the methadone

@6656565hgh i hear ya man, i was on methadone for 5 years and im at the end of my withdrawals from methadone still got a day or two left (hopefully) those 3 weeks where hell man..

but if i can quit cold turkey anyone can, just got to stay positive and take it day by day, min by min if you have to.

@6656565hgh As a long time (15 years of use now recovering) heroin addict, methadone should NOT be used recreationally, especially if you combine other opiates oxys, fentanyl, heroin, etc with it. It has the longest lifespan of any opiate and stays in the body WAY longer than heroin for example. So your asking to od if your body isn't used to it and you use a bunch of other opiates. Not to mention (on a proper dose) it ruins any high you get from other opiates because it is an opiate antagonist.

Loperamide has been used to help control the symptoms during detox.
