^so how long do you think I should stay on it ?
Keep in mind I've been to nine Rehabs and subs twice
It all depends on what your long term goals are. Some people stay on for ever. I personally couldn't see myself having to turn up to a clinic 5 days a week for the rest of my life but if it were a choice between that and a lifetime of heroin addiction then I suppose it may be the lesser of two evils. It depends on your situation. If you were to come off quickly do you think you would be able to stay clean? I've been on it for pain for more than 10 years and while I just pick it up at a pharmacy and don't have to go through the whole methadone clinic/piss test/stigma....I still wish I was off it. One thing I would say though is that when you do feel like you are able to get off make sure you taper nice and slowly as those who do a rushed taper usually regret it. In short, how long you stay on or how long you take to get off is a highly individualised and personal thing that only you can answer based on your goals and the reasons why you got on in the first place. I wish you all the best of luck tbough
Also is it normal at first to nod all day long and pretty much have conversations with people who are not there but in my nod dreams Or think I was talking to someone but wasn't
As a result I was always curious about Methadone, being that it's another maintenance drug and yet it's a full agonist unlike Bupe.
A lot of people seem interested in methadone potentiation. Perhaps I should write up a summary? You know, saving the world, one cytochrome at a time and all...
lol it's just me nodding then coming out of it and asking my mom if she just said this or that or if she was just sitting next to meUm no, that is NOT AT ALL normal. If you are actually hallucinating, you're dose is way too high. What was you're DOC before, and what dose did you take?(I mean, what was you're dose?)
(And don't dare merge my posts, they're separate for a reason!)
In la they have 21 day outpatient methadone detoxesI don't know why first timers can't get a 30,60 or 90 day OUTPATIENT methadone detox. AFAIK something like a 30 day detox has to be in-patient,which must cost the insurance co.'s a lot of money. And the methadone clinics won't do anything less than a 180 day detox which is overkill on a first attempt and most often that 180 day detox morphs into MMT. What's wrong with a shorter detox and longer after-care counseling?
^Well I'm super happy to hear you're on the mend ...& Not like me my 1st week on methadone- laying on the kitchen floor, babbling some odd combination of words that probably only make sense to my dog ! Sux it's a 3 hr. tour round trip. During my clinic daze I have quite a few people a ride home-unfortunately I had to make judgement calls, as I was a small gal with 2weeks of methadone on me...I just hated to see em' walking&waiting. Used my inner judgement. Never had a problem. One lady was sketchy.....odddd.
BUT, in CASE of any funny business ( UNfunny business ) , I do live in a place that I can & do carry a concealed weapon...my father taught me wisely.![]()
How much did you end up going down to?
All da best-Emme .
Thanks I mean it's cool and all gives me a reason to get up early now if I can land a job on the clinics side of the island that would be prime^Well I'm super happy to hear you're on the mend ...& Not like me my 1st week on methadone- laying on the kitchen floor, babbling some odd combination of words that probably only make sense to my dog !
