Okay, here's my story...
28 year old female. Have been on methadone for the greater part of the last 6 years. My dose has been 32 mgs for the last two years. I will be at 27mgs tomorrow
I have started the process of lowering my dose because I want to be OFF the methadone by Christmas. I have come off the methadone one before... I tapered down from 38mgs over a four month period. THE WITHDRAWALS WERE AWFUL! I had totally mentally psyched myself out. The first week I took xanax... out of fear of being hooked on those I flushed the rest. I went through an excruciating amount of pain for the next two weeks trying all sorts of internet recipes... still feeling like death... I relapsed... within a wk pod using again I called the suboxone dr... I waited till I was sick as a dog and took the two subs... suite me they made me feel AWFUL. Couldn't get out of bed etc... it was BAD! And... Then I decided to just get back on the methadone .. it hadn't been 30 days yet at that point so I had to wait till it had been before I could sign back on and make a deal with the methadone devil AGAIN!
And here I am now... wanting to be done with the methadone and I have heard wondrous things about kratom. I have been seeing tons of mixed opinions on it though. Some say it's addictive some say it's not. Some say take 5grams others say 9 grams... that's a Big leap of a difference. I'm just curious if anyone had taken kratom and if the kratom has withdrawals as well
ANY advice will help! Planning on detoxing from the methadone over the next 5 months from 27mgs... so it's about 5mgs a month. Take suggestions on that aspect of it tooooo.
Thanks in advance everyone!
