Are you saying that one Dr is prescribing you opiates and another Dr is prescribing you Sub?
that right i have had my family doctor for fourteen years.She didnt iknow i was seeing a pych. for addiction and all.I stoped seeing her and when i needed money i went in sometime to get the pers. to sell. for money to pay for my sub. She is giveing me peracets and trying to talk me into going on methodone.
Why dont you just do the suboxone therapy properly and get rid of the percs??
Sub will work if you let it.

Sorry to be harsh, but it seems you are looking for reasons that you cant get clean.
If you want to get clean there are lots of options and I am sure someone from North America can point you to free services.
I wish you good luck.

Sorry to intrude, but I just wanted to say that Silent Partner gives very good advice being in the medical field himself and SP, you've been missed here a LOT. Please think about coming back, at least occasionally.

I was on thirty mg of Methadone for a couple of weeks. I quit over four weeks ago and feel fine. Granted my sleep is all messed up, though I am taking herbal remedies. I think if you love your husband enough you will get clean. I am currently in a quandry because I love my boyfriend but am seeing my ex boyfriend down in New Orleans. I am tempted but as I said I love my boyfriend back in Portland.

I didnt mean to sound as if i was looking for excuse to not get clean.I wouldnt even come here if i didnt mean all that i said to get the advice of which i should do to get clean.I have alot of problem yes.But,i want to know about methodone since sub. is no longer a chioce for me.I was simple saying i cant get sub. bc my sub. doctor want see me. And im am useing pain pills and was mixing sub. to save the sub. now i think i maybe im hooked on sub. and pain pills.I have tried to quit cold trukey and i have alway went back to useing.I beleive the longest was two months.I
really need to go in a rehab if im going to do this alone useing nothing at all.I have seen many that have done it at home cold trukey rather it be a month too one year they have always went back to useing .Its scarey to think i went that long only to fail again.I thank you all for the advice and help.crystal

PLEASE dont start methadone. I dont want to offend anyone. For me it was the end of the line. I was seriously hooked. I gave my life to a liquid drink for over 5 yrs. I started at 30mg and for the last 2 yrs i was on 300mgs. just to TRY and feel normal. I beg you please dont. I have detoxed from an ammount of oxyconti that was rediculous and H and it was not even compareable to methadone. It has been 27 days and am still feeling symptoms and am taking 24mg of sub. This expierience has changed my way i look at life. I have been member of aa and na for about 7 yrs but now i need the help more than ever. I know there is meetings near you because we r funding Nigeria Africa so they can have aa. Keep a very open mind and rember that the success of staying clean one year after methadone is 6%.That is the first year. I went to nations largest methadone clinic. I BEG U no matter how bad please consider my plea.
Take care

Before Sub there was the clonidone/diazepam detox. Its cheap and effective, though again it should be medically supervised. I will bump up the thread on clonidine detox for you to read.
I agree with Methadone25. Don't go on methadone. It will just make things even worse. Trust the people who have been on it. About 99% of all the people I've ever heard from who've been on methadone have regretted big time their decision to get on it. It's so horribly addictive and so incredibly hard to get off of. Please find another form of treatment.

Gargle-If you are serious about getting clean,then read all these horrific stories people are posting about methadone.I don't think anybody is making it up.
My advise is this;
Don't leave your sobriety up to a doctor.They are in the business of dispensing medications.The disease of addiction is rooted in your soul.It really has nothing to do with pills.The pills are just one symptom.
Set aside 3-5 days to be really sick.Treat the symptoms with OTC meds and get the sh*t out of your system.Don't put more opiates like Methadone and Buprenorphine back in.
Once you can start venturing outside,find an NA or AA meeting and let those people help you.This is a long lasting solution.This is a life changing solution.
It's not a popular one because it's not a quick fix.
Your habit is no more than mine or others was.It can be done.
Good Luck
