Addicted

Hi I am new here and I am an addict. For ten years I have been addicted to Methadone and I am desperate to give up. It has undoubtedly damaged my health. Three days ago I decided I must stop taking it. But I am facing severe withdrawal symptoms like having nightmares, lack of good sleep, headache etc. I'm sick of it and want to quit from this. I have been asking for advice from my friends and one of my friend suggested to do the drug rehab program in Edmonton(Canada drug rehab). But I don't know if they offer any insurance coverage. Please share your suggestions.
Are you attending NA meetings?

There will be a lot of oldtimers there who will help you.

Good luck to another Canadian. I'm near Windsor, On.

Hey, that was third day you posted? Did you taper to low dose or just stop where you were at? Physically third night, well technically fourth Morning was worst for me. The lack of sleep is pretty inevitable no matter what you do. I just learned to accept that and appreciated each extra amount of sleep I got as nights went on. Hope your holding up well, please explain more though if you can. -Mary
