I've used oxycottin for about a year and a half my daily dose was 100-120mg's a day. I recently quit (yesterday).. to help me quit i acquired some percs and valiums. My plan was to take the valiums as needed and to take 4 percs the first day, 3 the second, 2 the third, 1 the fourth, and a half on the fifth. Yesterday I took 4 percs and 3 valiums and felt pretty more or less fine. Today i feel like death and completely immobilized and really want to use. part of me is saying keep at it your almost done and the other part of me is saying fuck it get high for a couple more days then go to the methadone clinic.

Any opinions or advice would be appreciated
 
Dont fucking go on methadone. PLEASE try subutex. Wait until your completely dope sick from your oxy. Then take the Subutex. Bupe. Has a site with a doctor locator if your having trouble finding one to prescribe you that medication. You never want to go on methadone unless you have been using heroin or like 500mg of oxy just to get BY. Never go on methadone for pills unless your habit is enormous. You will regret the day youve been at the clinic for a year i gurantee it. Turn off your phone. Dont answer any calls from dealers if thats an issue. Most doctors are very ok with Subutex if you are honest. Well unless its not a good doctor. Just see if that helps if not see if you cannot get the smallest possible methadone tablets they have like five mg from a doctor. ...Theyre called disketts as far as I know. 5mgs once a day wouldnt be that hellish and with your habit it may hold you well. Take this seriously im on methadone have been for a year and then some and holy fuck talk about nightmare. Unless you want cold sweats. ...General lethargic feeling eveyday dont go on done unless its that or you losing your family life.




If you want advice that will help PM me. I will try to answer your concerns the best I can.
 
Do your best to get clean my man. You don't want to replace one opiate addiction with another. I know that may seem impossible, but with proper will power you can do anything you set your mind to.
 
man i duno what the fuck to do no more.. my girl is talking about getting the dealer to stop by and its tempting as fuck.. at the same time i need to get clean and i duno.. i've made it 2 days clean and i know im close to the finish line or should i just cave and get on the meth/sub program
 
Ive been on methadone for some time now and i love it. its really up to you what road you want to go down. i never really wanted to quit opiates to be real honest so methadone worked great for me.. but if you really want to get free of all opiates if thats your goal then dont get on methadone and try subatex or subs...

I dont know much about subs, do they get you high like methadone at the beginning?
 
Screw Methadone. If I were you I'd go on Suboxone. It is by far the best maintenance drug ever. Even if you do crave other opiates you can't take em anyways. However, when I am on subs the cravings are gone, I "feel" fine.. It's not great for pain but it beats being sick.

Methadone is worse to get off than Oxy, Heroin ect... The WD are hell. So if you are worried about Oxy WD, Methadone WD makes OxyWD its bitch.

I wish you the best of luck but seriously look into Suboxone whether you get it from a dr or on the street.
 
Do you want to continue being dependent on a drug? Or are you ready to get off them all together. I went to an out patient 21 day methadone detox and have been clean for almost 6 years.

So, I guess the answer will depend if you want to get off the opiates or get on a maint program. I chose if I was gonna go through the bullshit I was going to get off it all together. Can't say it was easy, but it has been the most freeing thing I have ever done for myself.

Good Luck
 
if your trying to detox off of opiates, i wouldnt reccomend using the same opiate your addicted to, to wean off, as you said you have an oxycontin addiction, and have percs to wean off. percs=oxycodone/oxycontin.. My suggestion is, when your fully in withdrawl, to take 4mg of suboxone in the AM, another 4mg in the evening, along with valium at them times to help muscle relaxation/anxiety. the next day take 4mg in the AM, 2mg in the evening, day after, take 2mg AM, and 2mg at night, if you feel you need it. thats enough suboxone to get you through the rough part of withdrawl from oxycontin, you still will experience mild withdrawl effects. the valium shouldn't be taken more then 3 days in combo with this. methadone is a recipe for distaster, you have to cimmit your life to going to a clinic every single morning for the dose, and clinics increase your dose as days go by, thus creating a bigger problem= more of a tolerance and dependency to opiates, plus if ur taking valium, you will be a walking zombie high all day on methadone. trust me methadone will effect your life in so many ways negativily. methadone is for people who dont wanna give up opiates so resort to it for the buzz, or people who cant be responsible to take there suvboxone and end up selling it for opiates, etc..not all people...methadone is the last choice for the opiate addict in my opinion. suboxone is addicting too and is just a replacement addiction. im no doctor but i suggest taking suboxone for 3 days once withdrawl hits you, at 4mg 2x a day for 2 day, then 4mg the next day in the AM, then 2mg in the evening, the last 3rd day, take 2mg in the AM, 2mg in evening. valium will help as needed for sleep/anxiety as opiate withdrawl will give, once again you will not be withdrawl free, but it will get you past the agonizing withdrawl. so this is when willpower comes into play!!
 
I think we've all kinda said the same thing... The only way we can help you more is if you respond about WHAT it is your try'n to do here pete... Good luck man
 
Don't get on methadone! ! It's. A mutherfucker to come off of if you think withdrawal from oxy is in doable than you'd be ready to die coming off methadone, suboxone all the way!
 
Don't go on subs or methadone, just tough it out.

Believe me, your habit is NOT very big. Even though it feels like it, if you go on subs or done you may never get off. You can beat it, stick with it.

3 DAY HUMP! You can do it just relax. Relapsing always makes things worse, and it will be even harder the next time.
 
As already stated,it may be wise to avoid methadone if possible. I been on it for about 9 years and all it does for me is stop me from being ill when I can't score. Not helped me to get clean at all, just made staying an addict easier.
 
If you make up your mind with completely certainty you can probably stop in any circumstances. But if you're still unsure of how to proceed then having your girlfriend purchase drugs around you is probably going to make things much more difficult.
 
its up to you whether you feel you may need suboxone/methadone for long term. some people do or they always end up relapsing then end up dead or in jail, some that stay on methadone/suboxone actually it saves there life as benefit, the doubt:lifetime of opioid dependency, whether ur getting high or not.
 
Thanks for the input, I'm now currently on the Suboxone program. This will be week 2 of being on the program. Everything so far is good, haven't used anything aside from an occasional beer here and there (does anyone notice drinking sucks on suboxone?) and smoking a bit of weed (have burned 3 times in 2 weeks).. I am getting a take home dose this weekend and to be honest I wanted to snort it.. Is snorting suboxone good? How's the high compared to taking it sublingually? Lastly, how long does the high last when snorting?

Oh yea just so you know I tried quitting made it 2 days, and on the 2nd day at 2am I ended up going and grabbing some H ripped lines and then grabbed some oxy and used for a couple of days then got onto the sub program
 
Well you obviously don't wanna quit that bad if your still lookin to get a high from suboxone so i'll just answer your question. yes suboxone is better snorted. Higher bio which leads to better effects and lower dosing amounts. Just really think about what you wanna do here man. I know a lot of people that wanna quit and would die to be in your position but can't get a doc. If you are gonna continue to use just use full agonists.
