So im writing this thread for anyone interested in tapering off other opiates using the 21 day methadone program. I asked around a few boards and no one had any experiences to share everyone seems to be on maintenance.
First of all i had tapered myself down to about 90mgs hydo and 30mgs of oxy a day to stay well, not get hi, so you can put your own tolerance in perspective.
Last night i took 8 norcos 22.5 perc and 60mg of morphine ir figuring itd be my last time getting hi in a while. Stoped using around 9 o clock. Got off work around 12 o clock. Still no WDs just starting to get a lil tired and cranky. Went to wal mart and picked up all the stuff for the thomas recipe, i figure this stuff my come in handy at some point.
So i started taking a multi vitaman, a few vit c's, 2 potassium tabs, and two magniesum tabs. The first two are for general health and recovery the last two are to help RLS, sore legs are my worst problem ughh. Also gonna start throwing in some b6, st johns wart, and valerian root as needed to help paws.
Anyways DAY 1
Methadone clinic admission appointment at 6am didnt sleep until 2 had get up at 5 to leave the house. Didnt sleep well due to no night opiate or benzo dose.
Got to the clinic at 6am was there till 10 filling out paper work getting a physicall blah blah blah. So my first dose was 15mgs to see how it would down then 30 mins later another 15mgs. Anyways at first it took a while to start doing anything at all but within an hour i felt pretty high and was all laughy and shit also felt real wired even though i had no sleep. All my physicall symptoms went away also this is something the pills i was taking hadnt given me any relief from in quite some time.
So i left the clinic hi as fuck and got some breakfast the mental glow started to mellow but the body hi kept growing more intense. So im thinking ya this will hold me over most likely till tommrow. I came home took a two hour nap and woke up the hi is completely gone mentally and physically but im have no WD symptoms mental nor physicall. But since the intensity has shot down so much over a 5 hour period im wonderin wether i will make it through work without getting sick. They your fiirst few days you have to let it build in your system.
The plan as of right now is to take some backup norcos and m to work just in case. Tommrow they want to bump me to 40mgs keep me there 6 days then start a taper.
I will keep you all posted. Im writing this thread as genral information about using the 21 day methadone program since i cant find any experinces, id like to share mine so i can either elivate any of the fears out there or confirm them for you im definately not going on MMT, dont worry i wont sell this thread out.
