You prolly should of just kicked the dope cold turkey man. Easier said than done.
Oh man, I posted many times, and in all honesty, Methadone DID save my life.
I was on pills for 4-5 years, Hydrocodone and Oxycodone taken orally, doses ranging from 80mg-200mg/daily. After the pills got too expensive, I moved on to smoking heroin, or as people call it, chasing the dragon. I smoked heroin for about 2 years. So that's 6-7 years of Powerful Narcotic abuse, you wouldn't believe how bad my w/d was, really.
This is how I looked/was feeling during w/d, sweating like I just got out the shower, pale as fuck, nausea/vomiting, puking everything out my body, after I puked everything out, I was still puking yellowish foam, that's what I call poisen trying to leave your system, I was in extreme pain, dieareah, RLS, I was literally crawling on my knees, my parents saw me like that and were like WTF, they didn't know what was going on, I finally committed to them I was a drug addict and need help, or I WILL die in less than 24 hours, because I couldn't handle not even 30 mins of that w/d. So They rushed me to the hospital, they immideiately put me on IV, because I was dehydrated to the point where I was about to pass out and possibly die, after I saw the doctor, he saw me in extreme pain, all the sweat, everything. He ordered me an IV of 3 drugs to calm me down for the night, Morphine, Ativan, and Promethazine. After I got medicated, I finally calmed down a little. The doctor told me and my parents, this is the only time I can help you with dope sickness, he told us theres only 2 ways to save my life, #1 Rehab, which there was no way for us to afford, and #2 MMT. Here I am 2 1/2 years later, still on methadone.
But let me tell you, being on methadone and not heroin, changed my whole life, I looked 100% better, gained my original weight back, all that good stuff. So I can honestly say, without methadone, I wouldn't be alive today, and I can guarantee you that. I was either going to die from dehydration, or I would've committed suicide.
