Really? pharmacies can decline giving you your methadone? That's ridiculous.. And actually against the law here.. And what's that about them being able to say you need to reduce your dose? How does that work? Can they force this on you?
There aren't that many pharmacies that carry methadone here in Belgium. Which means finding a pharmacy that carries it can be a bit of a hassle. But the ones that do, are obligated to fill your script at whatever dose it says. When I first started taking methadone I had to call around to a bunch of pharmacies before I found one where I could fill it, but it wasn't a big deal and eventually I was able to (and have been able to ever since) fill it quickly with no bullshit.
I'm really good man, I've been clean for 8 months now (woot), not counting the MMT I'm on, and I feel srsly great compared to before! The opioid habit I used to have to deal with really made my life extremely miserable, but that part of my life is thankfully over now.
How's it going with getting used to the methadone > sub switch? How long were you on methadone in total? And what is your new daily scripted dose of suboxone?
OT: 80mg methadone zzz.
PILL TO CHILL congrats on being off the needle for that long. It feels good to not stress about diseases, infections, and fresh/irritated entry wounds in your arms i bet. I myself quit the needle about 4 years ago or so, while i still use opioids both medically and recreationally at times, there is no needle involved nor could there be since if have apap scripts.
us pharmacies can only deny medicine to pain patients. Heroin addicts get their methadone even if they piss dirty for weed, benzos and heroin at the more lenient clinics. Even in some of the most conservative states you can still smoke weed even thought its illegal. This methadone only comes at a clinic for illicit drug users...which will refuse to treat you if you say you are a pain patient and can't piss out an illicit drug for a drug test. Pain patients if they have weed in thier piss at their pain doctors office, will immediately be cut off of their medication.
To switch to a methadone clinic treatment, you would have to go out and use a drug illegall (even if you never have), then you could show up at the methadone clinic and recieve the methadone the pharmacy should have given you

Joe Bean: Is your methadone prescribed to you for pain? i believe it is.
Methadone is my favorite for those reasons but they are cracking down I?m sure it?s not just Alaska where I?m at. You know the whole opioid epidemic in the USA but yet they say around 70,000 die from overdose but suicide is around 45,000 a year. I say if people are in pain let the doctor prescribe what he wants and be responsible for your actions if you take to much that?s your fault not the docs. Now pharmacies can say no to fill it and they can say you need to reduce your dose. So ya methadone is my first but like I told my pharmacist and doctor it?s not fair for me to have pain and have to switch to subutex because it?s easier to get and doesn?t help with my pain. Oh well right fuck the poor and let?s fix the opiate problem by stopping pain meds instead of the shit coming from Mexico and China! Grrrr anyways
Long time since I chatted with ya Pill2chill how?s overseas maybe I need to come visit lol
So far I?ve taken 4mg sublingual and snorted 2 mg I?m good to go for work. Might take some ambien it really feels like lyrica to me it?s it related as far as working on the gaba ?

He Joe,
i see you are methadone for pain
what i wanted to add to your post, is that that 70,000 statistic from the CDC is fabricated data. They are real data points used under a greatly flawed classificatino system:
example: someone dies of an alcohol overdose with trace amounts of opioid in their system from using 3 days ago. This is classified into that 70,000 number.
Here's another lie they are making: They have a number for "prescription related overdoses" all heroin overdoses get counted into this metric, since heroin has morphine in it and morphine, is a prescription opioid. So them doing this makes it look more like legit scripts are the problem and not the fent they can't stop from flowing into the country by the kilo per day
ln this topic FOX NEWS of all places reported a story calling out the CDC for their fabricated fake stats
OT: hydocodone I'm enjoying that the pharmacy could just refuse to fill even if its perfectly valid
and edibles (that would get me kicked out of pain treatment if they showed up on a drug test)
and lorazepam (same comment as above)
