Hey Pauly,
I feeling about thatis.....I am on my 14th day off of methadone....I took herbs to help me get thru.......I hear pros and cons on sub.but personally I feel it is just making your wd take longer.I'd say go off the methadone......and get sopme herbs,take hot bathes or showers and rest you will get thru it...day 14 is so much better then the last 13....hang in there you can do it........

Hey Pauly
Sorry I did not reply sooner Iwas in court.Anyway first of all I am giving you my honest opinion and I will only share my experience withyou.
I have taken the meth route to no avail.I was on 115 mgs for about 2 years and for me it was awful!!!! I took alot of benzos to get high while I was on it.This is MY experience.I detoxed off the methadone in jail so it was cold turkey and it was awful!!1I would have taken anyhthing you put in my face while I was coming off of methadone.The longer you are on it the more you have to get out of your system,RIGHT? Anyway anytime I have tried to quit pills which I went back to after the methadone I always had a hard time making it thru the withdrawls and could not seem to get a good length of sobriety under my belt .I heard about the Sub about a year ago and researched it but I could not find a dr. that prescribed it ,it was not used as much then in NC as it is now .I was taking methadone pills and doing heroin (just enough to keep the sick off) before I started the Sub and I did not take anything for a little more than 24 hours before I started so I was into my second daywhenI saaw my dr.Well today I have been sober for2 months and my life has changed drastically.I do go to meetings and see addiction specialist besides the Sub it has been a life saver for me.
You can go down to about 40 mg prferably 30 mg of methadone and then switch to the Sub if I had to chose between meth main and Sub main. I take the Sub.My reason being, I do not get high off the Sub .Also I feel some normal pain ex: headaches occasionally,bachache if I work hard cramps .I just feel normal my mind is not foggy and I am very alert and it also takes away my craving for opiates.I still crave the benzos but that could bea deadly mix with the Sub so today that is not an option and that is good for me.You also can not drink on Sub so there is another helpful toolwith the Sub.Although it is not a miracle cure some people that have been way down see it that way because you will feel more normal on a daily basis .I highly reccomend it for anyone who is a chronic relapser it has given me so much hope.Hope that covers everything ,sorry it is so long but I wanted you to get the whole picture.

Hi ctink, I've never posted to you before, but have read several of yours. I wanted you to know you sound like you're doing amazing. Man, been through some tough times too. Congrats to you on your 2 months. Keep at it, you know you can. Beck
intoodeep-Thank you very much and at times it does amaze me I never have gotten any substatial amount of sobriety due to chronic pain like most of us that have been prescribed pain meds.Although today has been very trying for me once again I made it thru another day without using.Ihad to go to court today and attend a custody hearing for my daughter ,my mom has custody since this March which I asked her to do as I was still in the rat race .Even thoughI have been sober for 2 months my track record is for shiot I do not regret the past ,Yeah right I am not that well yet!!! I am sureit will come it just really sucked to sit in a court room and have your past thrown out infront of you and yet when I had to take the stand I could only agree that my mom still have custody of my daughter until I have atleast a year sober .It was HARD but with Gods grace hopefully in a year I will be posting thatI have custody of my daughter again.I am veery lucky that mom and I are close so if my girl is not at my house I am at moms so I am with her 6 days out of the week .That itself is a MIRACLE and I am, so grateful today!!!!
Hi ctink, It must be very tough not having your girl with you, but I'm so glad you get to see her so much and she is with a trusted family member. Man, it'd be horrible to have to sit in court and have my past gone over in such an omnipotent way. I haven't been to court in a long time. When I did it was for my most shameful and regrettable action and I remember the agony of it. It also caused my father to have a heart attack that day. I guess we all have to learn to live with ourselves, leave the past behind and look to the furture.
Yours seems very bright to me. I know we're still vulnerable, but you seem to be very solid in your new sobriety and taking all the proper steps. Plus I see you reaching out to others who are dopesick and in need. God Bless you for that. Did I read you're from N.C.? Keep in touch tink. I love seeing you guys on the board. You have much to offer! Love Beck
