A brief discussion about the ramifications of methadone treatment for people who are hooked on vicodin and similar drugs. Also some discussion about the state of the methadone clinic system in America
Itook OxyCotin …. alot , 240 mgs daily for 2years and after i hit rock bottom and was resorting to crime i turned to methadone. that was almost a year ago. do you think i should nt be on methadone?
It sounds like you had a pretty serious problem and are a good canidate for the program. I wish you all best in your treatment
thank sir, i was up to 75mgs each dose but now im coming off 3mgs, every two weeks im down to 57mgs now. im gonna try my best to be off by christmas time. im wondering how it will be when iget down really low??? how did you do it? blind taper??
I also craved suger all the time.Pain pills have natural opiates in them. Methadone is all man made chemicals. That is why it stays in your body so long. Methadone gets stuck in you bone marrow, fatty tissue. That is why it takes so long for the withdrawls (3 months for some). They fail to tell you this stuff at th clinic.If i knew now back then i would have never taken that first dose. Methadone helps in drastic situations but not just to get off pain pills.Please do the research before u go.
you are so very right what your saying. I myself had a bad addiction to tylenol 4, vics and soma for 9 yrs then for a yr started snorting heroin and oxy’s and I so much wish now i would have tried other options cuz yes i now have a worse habit and i have been on mmt for 4 yrs now and am detoxing 2mg a wk im on 88 now and yes they let anyone on and pretty much let u go high as u want. It is only for the bad off and no other options. i have 3 kids with no help so i thought this was it.
I could detox cold turkey and be a good mom so i thought this was the answer. Im driving 40miles round trip 4 days awk so go and my husband is on it too and smokes weed so he doesnt get takehomes and i do so he only doses on the days i go (3) and then he goes on sat. I hope u keep making these and helpin us all that need pointers cuz im desperate for any advice. I thought it was a godsend when i started but now its liquid handcuffs!! take care and thank u.
u are so right i crave sweets also too on it and yes its not for justpain pill addiction.
It’s tougher when a couple is on methadone because if they both try to get off, I or more will probably fail. Stay clean off of other drugs and lower your dose and stay in touch. You can do it if you want to and there’r no time limit on detox.
they want to keep us as slaves so we are dependent on the system. Its a great way to keep tabs on all the junkies. I am so glad I found you again, I am desperate to get clean. I have been a slave to meth for 15 years and I was only doing morphine once in awhile, and one day I was sick, and my doctor immediately put me on 100 mills when I only needed some Valium and detox. Afterward I had turned into a IV heroin junkie and now I have decided to get clean for once in my life.
I am aiming for next summer as I have a European tour coming up with my band and I doubt my doctor will give me enough carries for that long as he only gives me 2 carries a week even though Ive given clean piss tests for 2 years and have continued to lower my dose (even though he is strongly against it and always tries to raise my dose) I think he wants me to be on it for life….I am beginning to think there is a governmental conspiracy along with the collage of physicians
phyical withdrawls are now over but still strugiling with severe anixity any help in this prosess will be greatly accepted thanks for your vidio was a great help
I believe that heroin or opium maintenance is a better treatment, they could used the drugs seized in afganistan and licence the farmers there and buy off them to take it away from the drufg barons, the farmers would face no risk so they wouldnt sell to barons, even if we get an opium mountain, here u can get diamorphine maintenance in some cases or dipepanone, but morphine etc is better as the short detox is preferable.
what is ur opinion on naltrexone detox.
