So I started using methadone (from a clinic) about a year ago. My dealer that I've been getting it from has all of the suddin got kicked out of the clinic so now I'm in a tight spot. So I have to just man up and do this cold turky.. Well kinda I have some drugs at my grasp and are as follows seraquil 200mg tabs suboxin 8mg's(i have about 25) and adarall 30s (about 40) also diazapam 5 mg I have about 15.. So what do you guys think I should do?? Thanks in advance
 
Either go to the methadone clinic your self, or go to the ER at a hospital. I would suggest going to a detox clinic but i don't think they would be willing to detox you, it's seriously that dangerous.

I can't even describe how dangerous this is. My rehab facility wouldn't be willing to detox somebody from a 1/4 of that dose. Like, cold turkey is NOT an option.

I honestly think your best option if you can't do any of the other options i suggested would be to use heroin. It would honestly be more safe.
 
I've gone 6 days before and was kickin pretty hard.. But wasn't the worst thing in the world... My girl friend has a friend that can I've me with fluid to keep me hydrated I really want to just get off and I'm willing to go to a hospital if I have to... But if I can get to day 6 I'm hoping to just jump to subs.
 
Jumping to suboxone and tapering from there is a very good option, sorry i forgot to mention that one. Worst comes to worst and you can't get a suboxone scrip go to a hospital.

And @ProjectWill - I only said worst case scenario use heroin because methadone withdrawal is very dangerous, and he has a pretty large tolerance. Using heroin for a couple days to get situated with the actual detox plan is much safer than cold turkey from 160mg methadone habit IMO.
 
And just some more info...i cant stand the taste of methadone. so i started shooting it using a IV line from the hospital and a larger syringe so i could do almost all of it in one poke instead of poking over and over...anyways so i only shoot once every two days it normally will last that long for me sometimes even three days.. i dont know if it helps any but i thought i should throw that inthere also i have three bottles left that im going to cut the dose down till there gone and i can get soboxin anytime..i got three weeks off work witch is why i really want to try to just get off
 
i know for me, i had to be at 40mg or under before any detox would even take me and let me detox off methadone. anything higher is dangerous. but as with any opiate detox, the diazepam will help slightly. but seriously, go to the hospital. i can't imagine coming off a dose like that. you'll be lucky if you dont have a siezure if you go cold turkey.
 
If you're gonna use the Suboxone to detox, you have to wait quite a while for the methadone to get out of your system before you can take your first dose otherwise you could go into precipitated withdrawals. I'm not entirely sure how long but with opiates with a shorter half-life than methadone I always used 24 hours as a rule of thumb... for methadone it might be 2 or 3 days. Don't take my word for it though I'm really not sure. Just giving you a heads up so you don't end up in precipitated withdrawals.

I'd say use the diazepam the first couple days before you can take the suboxone and even after if the suboxone doesn't kill your withdrawals then taper down off the subs. The seroquil can help you sleep. You probably won't want the adderall. It would most likely make you feel worse. It is a high dose you're coming off of but opiate withdrawals aren't fatal. You can do it at home. Just make sure you keep drinking fluids and eating something (I know you're not gonna be able to eat much but try some milkshakes or something). By all means if you feel like you need help seek medical assistance but it's not entirely necessiary.

Good luck.
 
I switched to suboxone at 80mg methadone ..did heroin for 4 days waited 30 hours then took my sub and it was painless. I stated at 12mg sub a day an djust moved down every day.

friend switched at 145mg methadone to sub doingt h eseame thing, heroin for 4 days, waited only 20 hour, had a 3-4 day feelin shitty transition but in retrospect pretty painless. I think he started at 24mg sub though I dont thnk he needed that much..he just kept pilin it on cause he didnt wait long enoguh after the dope to dose the sub.

did you just say you IV 160mgs of methadone at a time?




you are just asking to lose a limb.
 
wait until your completely withdrawaling then take 2 subs a day for 5 days 1 a day for 5 days half a day for 5 days a quarter a day for 5 days then try to stop
 
IVing 160MG OF METHADONE EVERY 2 DAYS. Thats one hellish tolerance. You would need so much heroin to even be comfortable

Yea i know these stupid things i get myself into.. but now im tryin to make it a past thing you know.. and as far as doing H well i might if i have to but it will deffnly be a last resort.. cuz h was my doc before me and done fell in love.. so gotta be carefull
 
is methadone really that enjoyable? or did you just get yourself hooked by accident or something...?


oh yeah, the suboxone is your best bet but like others say you have to wait until you are feeling the w/d from your opiate (methadone). Start with 8mg, wait an hour, take another, repeat until you are feeling fine. I think no more than 16-24mg will be neccassary to begin with if you even need that much.
