Tapering with methadone is needed only for extreme cases of opiate use. Despite much of the whining and bitching many users do, withdrawl isnt that bad unless you've been using over a month straight. Attempts to taper from a couple weeks with methadone is unnecessary and taking a huge risk - methadone withdrawl is never ending agony.
However, there is a more comfortable way to transition from
"mini withdrawls" to sobriety -- a single dose of suboxone. It makes the transition almost unnoticeable.
I discourage methadone for this use, its too strong and will more likely just contribute to the problem.
Iunno if u talkin to me, or the other poster in the thread goin thru some probs, but I agree w/you and hope it didnt come off like i was asking about tapering off. I aint want ppl to think im some kinda dumbass cuz they takin what i said the wrong way or somethin.
TUsing methadone daily would be pretty stupid considering i aint got a addiction, so what the fuck would be the point of tryin to use methadone to "get off" a opiate that i aint even "On" you feel me? Im cool now w/out a doubt. That would be like someone who uses dope once a month gettin on a methadone program to stop usin dope when they just need to not cop. Straight up, it aint needed or necessary.
I think ppl gettin the wrong idea becuz methadone is associated so closely with gettin off opiates, and not w/gettin high. So when someone mentions methadone they automaticlly think its referring to methadone maintenance, not just poppin one or two when the time is right and then that being the end of it.
Jus tryna make it clear where im comin from. Cuz if anyone else who aint addicted was to read this thread and get the wrong idea, i wouldnt want them thinkin "hey lemme start using another opiate thats extremely hard to get off of, cuz this girl seemed to be doin it." I def. aint doin that. I was just gettin some releif to get some sleep, for one night....And it worked...So thats that, Case Closed. Smokin a doob is the plan for tonite %)
Good luck to the other homie in this thred w/the dope w/ds thats some way more serious shit than im talkin bout.
