ok let me start off like this i was an oxy/dilaudid addict for about 8 years i got bad i mean real bad i sold all my shit guns/cars/grow equpitment/whole life just so i wouldnt go into withdrawls. i litterly hit rockbottom and thought i would die a junkie .... well one day i just couldnt get any pills or or other opiates and i was planning a pharmacy robbery i mean this shit had me going crazzy not caring about anyone butmyself!!! so my wife made me promise i would atleast try METHADONE TO GET OFF THE PILLS and i would always argue how it wont help. so i finaly said fuck it ill try it so she took me down to the clinic and i sighned up they started me on 40mg and within 2 hours i was complelty normal again no withdrawls or anything. i was SO FUCKING HAPPY but still unsure if this was right for me so i continued to go for a few weeks and it relly helped i still got small cravings but nothing to bad so now ive been on it for 3 months im up to 80mg and i plan on siwtiching to maintance now if i could stay on this drug my whole life i would still be happy becuase its only costing me 150 a month compared to the 400 a day i was spending on oxys so this relly has saved my life so far and i have no problem taking it for the rest of my life seeing how much easier it is then my oxy addiction but i am wondering what some long term sideaffects might be



i know some of you are going to say methadone is a bad drug but if you could see how bad i got on opiates you would understnad why i am ok with taking this forever i am completly able to function and i love it
 
i agree, methadone can be a great tool for recovery; some people just need some type of ORT to thrive and survive. however, some people out there abuse it and take drugs on top of methadone/suboxone. i admit, i did it for a while, and i didnt get anywhere in life.

but..........this more of a blog, there is really no HR here
 
Maybe I should go for a low potentional opiate first. If Methadone's that great I would try it. So long after my last Opium using days that I start to grave it again.
 
I mean.. yeah I guess in theory you could take it for the rest of your life.. I know a lot of people who have been on it for longer then I've been alive and will never get off but.. it's really not a life most people want to live.
 
Helped me at first... after 3 years.. down to 25 mg a day. Still my sex life aint like it was before.. when i was on 85 a day i was getting fat and whenever i was not moving i was sleeping... and eating.

Also i am doing a lot of sport despite of chronic back pain and it made me loose muscle mass and it is taking longer to recuperate. It was a life saver indeed and i could stay at 25 for ever but i feel like it made me a little like a robot. I might feel normal but i am not.

It changed me
 
Yes in theory mate id love to as well but like some of the posts its still crap for me i sleep and eat too much ive no energy or motivation to exercise i have to go chemist every other day it becomes your life get your meth 1st then plan your day and usually i do nothing im on 45 and i thought id conquered it felt great but no my life is crap no job no contact with people a hermit really so id say get off it i need to

Hey bruh,

you bumped a thread 3 years old, you'd probably find more discourse and people to relate to in the methadone megathread: http://www.bluelight.org/vb/threads/601690-Methadone-Mega-Thread-and-FAQ-v-2-0/
 
u could take t forever but just wait a year or so down the line, u will get sick of feling tired al of the time, going to the linic, having no sex drive..when u quit, get ready for months of nasty withdrawals..u wont even feel like a human being so my advice dont get comfortable on methadone, get off it as soon as u can..most people i went to the clinic with were not happy folks..
