Where the drugs are
Well, I start Methadone monday, but, lately (the past few days) I've been concerned about going.. I don't think I can bear the WD's again. As it is, they're slowlyyyy starting to get better, but, I've been having massive anxiety attack lately (something I have never had before, I feel for anyone who has anxiety, man, this is killer, feels like I'm going to faint from the feeling, and my heart is going to either have an attack, or explode in my chest).
Anyways, I wanted to do methadone because everytime I've tried to kick in the past, I've 100% of the time get back into it.. But, now that my rents know the full extent, they have my back.. So, either I can go to methadone for a year or so (not doing long term) and take 20-30mg a day, or, I can just tell them I want to go to the hospital, get detoxed, and take some clonidine. (which I've never had, I heard it helps).
Advice please guys. Only thing is if I do end up wanting to get on methadone, I'll have to get back on the list and wait again.
 
Hi kevin,your in the same situation as me,I have to start mmt in a few days and have wrestled with the same questions.

If you have to work or do anything else that takes your full attention and strength meth may be your best bet.

detox is good and clonidine does work but the only problems are energy and depression,those 2 being the absolute worst for me:(

its really hard to say man,it's one of those decisions you've got to make on your own as you'll get so many conflicting opinions about it,but mine 2 cents says if you have to maintain your life and it can't be put on hold then meth or sub is the way to go.

good luck
 
How long have you been using ? How many times have you done a detox / rehab ? MMT is a really consuming life change - I know it has helped some people but I would be cautious. Suboxone is certainly a better option for a free life imo. Although if I could be prescribed methadone tabs , i would do that in a heart beat.
