In The Mess

I been trying to be bette I have a RX for oxycodone 15 mgs 120, and ten 50 mcg fentinal patchs, I had them for a week now without filling so far. I been going to meth clinc 120 mgs a day. I want to stop the meth adone and see if I can make it on just the patchs wht you think ????? Roger
I been here a while and it seems most here are good people, But what I see is there is maybe 5 people here dope free, The rest just taper dablle, slip up it is hard to see any light in the tunnel god bless the dope heads
Roger, recovery is a inside job. Taking the focus off of your addictions but worrying how other folks recover is self defeating. Being clean is attainable if you really desire it

Take Care

roger,

i think getting off meth and trying to work off the patches sounds like a plan. its a start. i pray something will help you out. have you considered dropping your meth and switching to sub? i also heard that was really the way to go. but either way getting off the meth at this point is a great start, dont give up and belive in yourself.

I wouldnt do the meth and the patches at the same time They are both very strong and I dont understand someone giving you both those medications at the same time
Roger

I am not sure, as I have no experience with Methadone, but I have heard it is very difficult to come off of. Is there anyway that you can find a way to quit all of the narcs, and get some relief from the withdraws through a doctor or detox center?
I know you have not been the most optimistic person about quitting drugs, but I really don't think most are in the beginning. Just remember Roger, you did not ask for any of this, and I willing to bet you don't want it either. Time to get good and pissed off, and take back your life. You can do it.

hi iam reading this post and im amased at how mush your doct, give you, i live in canada and ther is now doct, in there rite mind that would perc, that to a person. i am going throu with druls today, and im realy going to give this a good try,but after reading this post i think im living in the wrong place. thanks karen.
I'm with Michelle, I thought until reading about on the board that Meth was only given to help you get off opiates, not prescribed for pain so I would see a doctor, just not the one who's prescribing, sounds like he's "one of those doctors"
I had a "Lortab DR in my 30's - unlimited Lortabs.

Good luck, hope you let us know what you decide.

There are many people that use methadone for pain control. Lady Maverick is one.

Education in these matters is key. Roger, you really need to work with your dr, my friend. Only he should be telling you how to do this. You're way in over your head.


Take care

i go to methadone clinic for drug addiction and have a private doc treating my pain, not knowing each other
I hope you at least give up one of those, Roger. That combination sounds dangerous.
Love, Kat

What do you consider a dope head is it the ones useing meth.sub. or the patch whatever the patch is ?May i ask what the patch is? Is it for w/ds? Is the 5 people here thats clean the one that have not used anything to get clean?Im just trying to firgure out what your post means when you say alot of good people here only like five of them thats clean?I have a bad headach maybe i read it wrong ?Sorry,if i did i will try to better understand it in the morning.I hope you get off the meth. i dont know anything about the patch.i know about the pain patches doctor perscribe is it the same?Im a suboxone users im i consider clean ?Hope you dont take this wrong just tying to firgure out what your thoughts were and alot of people here are really trying to find thier way to live life clean and free from thier addiction.Whatever works for them and the ones that are trying .i have tried alot of different things to stay clean the only one i have found that has worked for me is SUB. What works for one may not work for others.Hope you have thought about your plan and where to go from here.II have not talked with or post with you and dont know your story but,i know we are here to get help and suport eachother and when one fails at it,We ar here to try to lift them back up.This board had it times everyone with different opions but,all are trying to tell you what has or hasnt worked for them.,you got to keep on trying until you firgure out what works best for you... take care,crystal

P.s.check with the one that have done it cold trukey and are clean,then check with the ones of sub.You will see thiers alot more then what you are thinking.unless you consider the sub. users not clean.Start a post and ask how many people here are really clean and tell them what you consider being clean when you do...i have a post called sub,meth,cold trukey look and see what the ones that posted had to say.love ya,crystal

Am I reading that right? Your pain doctor doesn't know about the Methadone and vice versa?

awwww thanks boo,dats sweet...hope life sends you butterfly and rainbows and all your wishes comes true,and bad times are only short moments to reflect on,...have a great day sweety.....:)
Roger, I was on the Patch for about a year and it is a toughy to get off of. If I were you, I would look at other options. And for the record, I am not clean, I have relapsed and I'm tapering off of Lortabs as of last Friday. This is not an amusement park merry go round that we are riding. It is a beeootch. Please be careful and don't be mixing those two drugs.

Hey, glad to see you came back for help. It is about time. We knew you wanted a little help all along and we are right here for you.
Thanks you all I mean no hostile mess at all you are good people, I am a mess but I still try to be better or hope to be
You keep coming back here Roger..that means to me that you're looking for help and hope.
