Hi I don't know if I am posting in the right place, plz redirect it if need to. I wanna start off by saying that I've been on methadone 20 yrs. I've been tapering from my clinic for 11 months. I am on 5mg and the withdrawals are beating the shit out of me. I was doing 5 mg a week till I got to 13mg, then it was 2mg a week... well I was in a mobile accident 2weeks ago and was whiplashed and a bruised rib and the emergency room put me on 5-500 mg of Vicodin and flexiril for a few days I felt OK with it being there is some form of opiate in the vikes. But I can't take them and my withdrawal is bad at bedtime. I need to know what can I do tell help me fight this? I was thinking going up 2 more mg and go down one a week or every 2weeks. I forgot to mention that I am on phase 5 so I only go to the clinic 2x a week and it's the cherry Meth. Also is it going to be harder for me because I've been on Meth 20yrs?..... my counselor tells me no. I was also thinking when I go down to my lowest to admit myself into a detox..I don't know I'm a hot mess, I'm depressed I'm confused and I just wanna cry....and wanna be off methadone already...
