Hello All ~:o) Im "New" to this Message Board.... Just alil about Meeh, I'm a 34 yr old Female from Southern California.. I've been addicted to Pain Killers (Lortab or Norco or any other source of Vicodin) I've tried Detox Once before about and i was sober for 3 months, then relapsed, only to end up back in Deep Addiction.. I don't have much time to write now, but I'd like to ask If anyone has any information or experiences, related to Detoxing while using Methadone. I am currently on my 4th day of Methadone. I've never used "Street Drugs" but I'm an addict in every sense of the word . I would just like to hear "Any" experiences or Information that anyone would like to share with Me. Thank You for taking the time to read this:

Hi Juz,Ive used methadone to help me through the worst of withdrawing and think its great for that,try and just use it for about 5-10 days and try and cut it back each day.
I ve thought about going on a methadone program and staying on it a while as it deals with the cravings and when you have relapsed a no of times,well methadone becomes a realistic choice,but for me personally I really didnt want to stop using and start something else,so recently I took my name off the list and it feels good as I was often relapsing and thinking that its ok as Ill be on the methadone program soon,well now I dont have it as a backup and cant use it as an excuse to use again.
Ill say it again,I think methadone is great short term,just long enough to ride out the worst of withdrawels,5-10 days and try to cut the amount used each day.
As for the amount to use,I think that depends on how bad your habit was.

Hi, talk to your doc about SOBOXONE its a better way to detox with no side effects. The half life of methadone is much longer. you can detox and feel normal all the way to the end.I feel the pain because i have been there
good luck and god bless
