I've been using methadone about a month, up to 40 mgs a day recreationally ive been off of it for five days but swim used heroin twice in between to reduce withdrawal symptoms so he can get it enough days to take suboxone..i do not want to switch to suboxone I want to be off the drugs I'm in a aa program already strongly believes it does work if you work it and has for me in past..i took one 8 mg sub throughout the day yesterday just woken up and took 4 mg of sub n have 4 mg left and a couple benzos for sleep..what does every one think just want to get through the bad part of withdrawal and don't want to take to much sub or be on any slave to any drugs no more not maintenance..just wanted to ease withdrawal please get back to me thanks guys!

Using methadone for a solid month you will probably experience withdrawal since you only have two days worth of subs right? Please edit your post to remove Swim because it's not allowed on Bluelight and makes it hard to understand what you're saying. Just say "me" instead, thanks.
 
I am on day five without methadone..took a whole sub yesterday..and took half today yes I experienced bad withdrawal the first two days I feel ok on 4mg of sub and wanna save the other 4 'mg for tomorrow and then stop you think I'll still have some discomfort for a few days after that
 
also I don't want to really take any more then what I have after this I think i will just deal with whatever ailments I have after the sub..I just wanna be done with the drugs man i had enough experienced powerlessness just want to ease the worst of the withdrawal you know
 
For me, methadone withdrawals last about two weeks but when I've experienced it I had been on methadone for a much longer time than a month. A few days of subs will only postpone the inevitable in my experience. But maybe you'll luck out and escape too much discomfort. Expecting the worse usually brings the worst so try to stay optimistic.
 
thanks for the reply..but it's day 7 and I feel a lot better and I haven't took the rest of my sub..might just ride it out from here on I just want the chaos to stop! tired of chasing a ghost..

Well that is good! If you can ride it out, that is the best way to go...get thru it the fastest and all.
 
just wanna say thanks guys for the replies I feel good today wayy better and I'm off everything completely..just a little runny nose and watery eyes been through worse though ! take care!!
 
actually have some bad news..I slipped up and found a methadone pill in my room and I was still going through some withdrawals so I took it..I've been off 9 days do you think this will have a negative effect and take me back to the beginning..I'm just going to pray to god and ask him to help me through this I really am trying so hard I don't know why I took it because it was right in front of me it was hard to say no..I go to na and aa meetings twice a day and feel like I really fucked up today excuse my language..can someone give me some input on this and I know I shouldn't of done that but it was only ten mg after being off of it for 9 days..the withdrawals weren't that bad rather more like the tail end of it just back aches and headaches anxiety and my body just def wasn't fully out of the withdrawal like scale 1 to 10, ten being the worst I was at a four compared to three days ago when it was at a ten...
 
Man, nobody around here is gonna judge you for relapsing. We've all done that. Learn from it and move on. You're still doing really well.

Will it set you back? Probably but it is really impossible to say until you have a couple more clean days behind you. One time will not set you back to day one. You are still definitely better off than you were 9 days ago.

Just remember, the more you think the relapse has set you back, the more it will seen like it did. Focus on the positive you've done for yourself, be optimistic and keep yourself busy in the days ahead and the relapse probably won't matter at all.

thanks I really appreciate you staying in touch on this thread I really need the support guys I'm so tired of living this way..I have half a methadone so 5mg for tmrw I'm really going to stay optimistic still staying with my na aa program through the relapse and going to get over this once and for all man ! I just know I'm going to eventually have to face the facts I'm going to experience discomfort I can't get around that you know..but I keep picking the methadone back up I did 2 of them today so I'm really setting myself back..I have to just stop and go through it right what do you do you think..honestly should I just do the half tmrw and try and cold turkey the rest of it or what other options do I really have ya know
 
I can't stop taking these pills man..I'm really struggling with this i feel so powerless and am so afraid to go through the withdrawal..i have to do something here..did dons 3 days in a row after being off them for 9 days..
 
Whats up every one? Is this thread still alive
lol? Back in 2010 I remember having some
very fun, intelligent conversations on blue
light ... what happend lol, it just seems most threads are dead or all our old ones. I just made a new account, since I couldn't remember my old password to my old account. I did a year in the county so yeah that's how I lost it, but shit im lookin for discussion about opiates, mostly just suboxone since I am a recovering H addict of 5 years.
Well ive been on suboxone for about 31/2 months now.

I got some questions ..." hello hello is there anybody out there"
