I HAVE BEEN ON THE METHADONE FOR ABOUT 4 YEAR AND HATE IT. IVE BEEN UP TO AS MUCH AS 190 ML AND IT STILL NEVER MADE ME FEEL 100 %. I HAVE A HIGH TOLERANCE TO OPIATES. DOES ANY BODY KNOW SOME ONE THATS BEEN TO ONE OF THEM DETOX PLACES WHERE YOU ARE SEDATED AND THEY SAY THAT YOU FEEL ALRIGHT AFTER 5 DAYS? JUST BECAUSE THIS IS SOME THING I HAVE SERIOUSLY BEEN THINKING ABOUT AND CONSIDERING IT COSTS A LOT OF MONEY TO DO, I DONT WANNA GO IN TO ONE OF THEM PLACES LIKE DETOX 5 UNLESS I KNOW IT DEFINATELY WORKS? ANY 1 WHOS BEEN THERE OR KNOWS ANY1 WHO HAS, BIT INFO ABOUT IT WOULD BE GREAT. THANKS AND GOOD LUCK TO EVEYONE THAT HAS MADE THE EFFORT TO GET OFF OPIATES COS I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS AND THE PAIN AND HEAD MESS IT GIVES YOU !

I hope everyone that has wrote in is still doing good. I”m almost 29 been doing pills for 8 years that time really flies when getting high all the time. I’ve detoxed plenty in the past now I’ve been on methadone for about 4 years and i”m ready to quit. I was on 100 – 160 mills now down to like 60 and plan on getting to 30 by Thu. or Fri. then taking suboxone for maybe 10 days, I think I’ve done this enough to be strong as far as the withdrawal. If anyone has advice or support I’ll take any help I can get. The whole trick is after the withdrawal is dealing w/ the mental addiction fighting the cravings and something as simple as saying no, one time is to much. GOOD LUCK to everyone going threw any kind of addiction god bless.

I’m into my ninth day of being methadone free. I feel as though I’m gonna die. My emotions r out of control. I’ve been to the hospital 3x in a month ie. blood pressure 282/158. I’ve gained 50 lbs in the 3yrs I was on the shit. I have a benzo habit. Detox was a joke cause no one wants a dually addicted person with this combination.
I’m down to .5 xanax 3xd daily but of course the first couple of days I did 4mg. I’m taking clonodine 4 my blood pressure, and maylox for my stomach. I feel like shit on a stick. I walked on 40 mg. I’ve seen my primary care doc, psyche, and heart. I’m not self medicating. 4 once. I’m 47 and have been using since 9. Need encouragement…….Also heed this warning!!!

Thanks for putting this together. I’m looking forward to reading the next posts about using methadone to detox from other drugs vs. other methods.
