I have been on methadone for 6 years. I started them after long severe perc/ oxy problem plus alcohol and huge amount of cocaine. At high point was on 100 mg. a day but mostly 50 mg a day past 2 years and last six months 20mg a day. Two weeks 10 mg has been fine. What scares me is the next 5 days I go tO 0 mg. none. Everything I read scares me. What do I have to expect. I want this more than anything. I have had open heart surgery in my life and I know I can better take care of health if ,didn't feel lazy all the time. Want to be free
Mate im bout to drop to 0 soon myself , but mine will be from 15 to 0 , if you need to chat about whats goin on and your experience,ill be glad to share mine. im scared myself and dont know what to expect. Good Luck
Never really talked to anyone about this, but it lets me know that I am not alone in this fight. One day at a time. Thanks
Yes we are not alone, alot of ppl face this daily, i find it comforting to talk about it here, i wish there was a active chat area, ive dropped down to 12.5 friday, tried to see about goin to another clinic just to get me lower, but they might be full, im on a waiting list i guess. have you prepared for your detox, vitamins,natural sleeping aids, stuff like that.
I think I am as prepared as I can be , but still scared as hell. See I am doing this as functioning worker at my job. I t may be bad idea but this is how I had to do it. I also been finding as I taper I was better keeping busy even though I felt like curling up in bed.
Mike i am rite with you, im scared but deep inside so ready , when will you be at 0 , what is your does atm, that is what i am afraid of not being able to make it to work, and take care of my kid and do my daily activities till it is over. I thought a few hours ago i was feeling some wds from coming down to 12 from 15, have been dizzy and lightheaded towards the end of the day. But its seemed to pass, i hva no clue when they will shut me off, could be monday or next week, im trying to get as low as possible, i was hoping they would do a rapid detox , to try to get low.
Alot of ppl have done what you and i are about to do , they did it and so can we.Stay strong. God speed.
