Hi I need help I am sorry if I dont use proper grammar I don't feel well. It's my third day off of 40mg of Methadone liquid. I got my last dose at the clinic friday...it's Monday. Should I take the Suboxone now? I feel worse today than any other day and I purposely didn't take comfort meds so I'd have an idea of what stage of withdrawal I am in today. I have the films. Thank u
questionsneedsanswers,
Boy you took the rough road. Why didn't you detox down, with a plan, and then go over to the suboxone??? As I have not used suboxone, I would suggest you go to the suboxone board, if you haven't already. If I am not incorrect I think after 48 hours-72 hours you can go to the suboxone.
PLEASE make sure you have a doctor, preferably the one you got the suboxone from outline a plan for you.
good luck.

Hi... Thank you so much for writing to me. A week ago today I was petrified because I knew that I wasn't going to the clinic in the morning. I haven't been back since and I feel good. I don't know if it was my will power but I did go down to 1 mg and then zero in 2009. I went back in the clinic and I couldn't take the sweating, not being able to travel, going and being treated in a different way, but the physical and emotional issues from detoxing every 11 days 1mg then 8 days down 1mg..
. I hated the sweating the chills the weight gain every thing about the clinic and methadone I started to hate.
Last Saturday I work up, made sure I ate and drank liquids in case I wasn't able to the next day. But I slept. I DIDNT SWEAT. I DIDNT HAVE CHILLS! I WAS PHYSICALLY WEAK
And had a headache and by Monday I was ok. Now I am dealing with the insomnia. No amount of melatonin helps!! But I did it. It has to be something that a person really wants or it was a miracle for me. That was what my friend told me. :-)

I almost forgot. ... I had to stop reading about other people's stories because it was making me nervous and I am SOO HAPPY I GOT OFF..WE'LL JUMPED OFF AT 40MGS. It is possible if u keep yourself home and prepare yourself. I thought it would be bad... It would have been 3 years in Dec but I did it. Yes, I think my no withdrawal symptoms was a true miracle.
questionsneededanswers,
Well I am glad you are OK, but I still don't recommend anyone jumping off at 40mg!! Being ready in ALL aspects of your life is a really important aspect before stopping your methadone treatment. Just being tired of being in treatment is not a good reason.
But I am glad you had any easy go of it, some do and some don't, a lot of it is the believed results of other people. As far as vitamins I would call the clinic and ask them what they suggest and stay hydrated, eat healthy too and follow up with AA or NA meetings for extra support .
Hang tough you can do it!!
