Opioids Methadone addict, want to get this shit out of me asap

GOODLUCK TO THE op BUT ISNT BEING ON 80MG OF METHADONE FOR ANOTHER YEAR OR TWO BETTER THAN A HEROIN HABIT,DONT RUSH THINGS.

Its a pain picking up daily(easier than dealing with tosser dealers though) etc .....but nothing remotely like the pain endured with a true H habit. I still feel an addict on meth or bupe for that matter, a drug to feel ever so slightly better everday but what alternative do you have with this chronic , relapsing mental illness(imo). I believe the relapse rate after coming out dtox/off mmt or even bupe maintenance are 95% are back to habitual heroin use, within less than a year of leaving treatment/detoxing.
good luck however way you play it my friend maybe you will be in that 5 %
 
I was on 80mg methadone for a year and switched back to buprenorphine. I did nto taper to 30mg like most doctors i.e. reckitt and bensicker will tell you to do. What I did was I took my last dose of methadone on a Thursday morning. Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon I used heroin. After my last dose of heroin on Mon I waited about 30 hours to dose my bupe. This wait was not brutal.. I took bumps of K throughout to help me wait as LONG as posssible to dose my methadone.

So then I dosed my methadone - NO PRECIPTATED WITHDRAWALS YAY!@! Anyone who has switched back and forth from full agonists to partial agonists knows there is an adjustment period. The adjustment period was pretty brutal compared to how youd feel from being on bupe maintanence and going on a week heroin binge then switching back. That being said in like 10 days I felt 100% on bupe. I leveled off on 12mg bupe.. I might hav ebeen able to do even less but 12mg was holding my 80mg methadone daily great.

And life is SOOO much better on bupe. I feel better in every way. Fuck methadone I will NEVER go back to that shit. I was dumb.. I think part of me kinda wanted to keep getting high. Well methadone was a horrible choice.. all it did was get my dependant on a very serious drug when I coulda been detoxing easy from dope. Bupe is seriously better in every way. I am so fucking glad I switched back becuase it was a big stressor in my life..being tethered to the clinic basically on my knees with balls on my chin

Also..taperign on methadone is brutal in the sense that it takes forever and I find my self never reachign 24 hours of releif once I started moving down. Tapering on bupe is a fucking fantasy walk in the park. You don't even feel the reductions until you hit like 2mg if you do them properly. You don't have the compulsion to want to take more (like taking your takehomes or doubling up on doses).
