[Payrion]

well i had 2 hard years of nubain, morphine, oxycontin use.... i went to a methadone clinic 3 months ago and have had pretty good success but when whining down on the meth dose i started using oxy again and today had to suck it up ang go back up on methadone to keep from being dope sick, anyone else go the methadone route? i want stories and not some " i was additicted" story, i have a real real bad problem.....and am trying to kick it for real and if your not in the game YOU DONT HAVE A CLUE!!!

I don't think you're at the right place to be asking this question, as i have never seen it come up in all the time i've been here, but i'll bump it for ya. Hope all goes well on your end.

audio: ive seen several posts about drugs like nubain but never seen anything about using methadone to come off it, i did a search and nothing, also i know ALOT of body builders use pain killers and alot get addicted at the same time, so thought i would ask.....

Bro, I don't know what dose of meth you are on, but whatever it is, start tapering down 5-10mg every week. You have only been on the meth a short time...now is your chance of not going through total hell trying to come off later. You will regret EVER getting on meth if you don't do it NOW!!!!! The plus side is you won't be addicted to the other shit anymore...just kick the meth now...it is no joke.

hoss.... i was tapering down i was fine @ 40mg, whick is low anyhow, but i went down 4/day and once i hit 20 i was sick as hell, so started hitting 20 20mg oxy/day iv... so today i went back to the clinic and got back to 40mg of meth, i need to stay out the gyms here every gym here if filled with pain killers, more then juice, thats where i started, ive already cut all friends out to stay away, but hell, i will make it, i just want to hear some sucess stories, ya know to keep the spirits up!!!

 

[Hoss]

Well, I am a succes story if you will...5 years on methadone 70mg/day and often more that I would buy off the street...tapered down REAL slow...sorry to tell you though I went through hell for about 1 month after comming completely off, and wasn't right for 2 more months after that. But I did it, and so can you...people places and things...find another gym...and taper even more slowly than the last time you tried...use something for sleep at night, because you won't be able to...BUT NOT A NARCOTIC!!!!!!!

 

[Payrion]

no shit bro, the sleep sucks.....i want to pull my arms off, ya know, i cant be still and it sucks.....real unconfortable, there is a new opiat drug waiting for fda approval called bupanorphin, i see ** has it on the list but i dont know how to use it, i wish i never ever tried this shit.... it is the worst, especally when it stopped working on me at any dose, but so far methadone keeps me fine for work....i know it is a hard long road ahead, but i have a great wife for support, and my family is behind me.
i was almost off already but i started feeling like shit and cant work, i am a union sheetmetal worker and make good loot so i cant fuck it up, so im stuck in a rock and a hard place.....
hoss, when ya said sleeping things, like what, i hade bennies and shit like that, weed seems to help some, any other things you can suggest?

 

[Hoss]

I used Doxipan...antidepressant...puts you right out...not too much though, you'll drag your ass the whole next day. You are a union worker, have them put you in a detox...it works...support and meds from people who know.
Good luck

methadone addiction is harder to kick than heroin, or pain meds. Have you ever considered rapid detox.
