Thank You for posting BK. I appreciate it. However here is the last post
I think this thread has pretty much ran its course, and it wasn't honestly OD material to begin with. I'd highly recommend checking out The Dark Side for support, encouragement and experience There are a lot of great contributors there who have been through difficult times, as you're experiencing now.
OK maybe I misunderstood when he used the word
honesty. But read the posts leading up to the closure.
I guess I will have to start a new thread. Its kind of a shame typing it all over again because I am experiecing the same exact problem. I believe the old thread will help support my position because its unbelievable. And no this does not happen to very many other users. Its very rare.
I have been on continuous methadone treatment for over 35 years so I am not naive on the subject. Most every patient complains about something. But this is different. Much different. I have talked to everyone that I have met and NOBODY was having the same reaction. I feel I have a connection with slackboxed because he is the first person I have met in 35 years that has the same problem and it is a physical metabolism problem, not mental..
Of course quitting methadone is the best option. I feel like saying a big DUH!! But because of our genes and ultra fast metabolism we cannot detox, we cannot maintain and bupe doesnt work either. It took me many years to discover the metabolism part. I may have found a solution that may help us both and I want to share on the proper forum.. I also want to know if slackboxed survived. I hope he is doing well.
Again thanks for replying.
I discovered that an ultra rapid metabolizer means that we "break down drugs too fast causing them to be of no use to the body." This is an exact quote from the Consumer Health Information Corp. It may affect all medications.
We cannot maintain, so we cannot slow detox. . Drinking methadone just keeps us sick all the time. The only solution was cold turkey and thats not a very good option although I wish I had known this when I was young, I would have tried harder.
Myself I have finally managed to detox down and I am almost off the program but my life is almost over now. Methadone ruined my entire life. I would like to reopen the old thread to add my lifes experience of receiving misinformation to help others that may have the same problem with nowhere to turn for help.
For over 30 years, I suffered alone. I talked with everyone I met and nobody believed me. I dont know why I expected it to be any different here at Bluelight. I guess I just got excited when I googled and discovered the "my methadone clinic is trying to kill me" thread. Finally I found someone that experienced the same ordeal.
I can continue to plead to the mods but I think my best bet is to wait and hope that slackboxed, (the OP of the original thread) will log back in some day (if hes still alive). Im sure he would be very anxious to speak with me.
Thanks for trying to help Chromophobia. I truly believe I have important information to add. If I start a new thread it will only end the same as the original and I dont have the strength to argue or fight anymore. . I truly believe that by adding my similar experiences to the original thread will add credence to his story. It may also help myself and others.
