methadone withdrawl.. it hurts

dont forget i owe them like 300 by the time i save that shit ill be detoxed... two days ago i bought 100mg and diluted it in 32 ounces of water... everytime i feel too shitty i take a swig.. this way im not getting high and just keeping the worst pain out while my system stabilizes. so far its kept me good.. my stomach is still fucked, and my hot/cold flashes, but its painless other than that.
 
bump... yesterday i drank the last of the water, but for the last three days id say my intake is under 10mg...

still not sick... eyes dilated.. shitting.. hopefully i tapered enough to get it right this time, and this will be as bad as it gets.
 
good luck silver..i feel for u so bad man. the uncomfort i am feeling at the moment isnt shit compared to what you're going through atm..but i did go through that too. keep busy man. as soon as you get so bored that taking a hit is the only thing to do, DO SOMETHING ELSE!! the longer you wait it off the better (and you've been doing this. thats good). hope to see your condition improves very soon man. good luck. after reading this, i'm going to hold off on the dosing for as long as possible too..
 
er ive told work i have mono it buys me time.... actually i ran out of that methadone three days ago, and im still shitting, and my nose is still runny, but the minor body aches are takin care of with good weed... i think im on the upper end of it by now..
 
yeah i'm trying to stop H even with methadone in me and i'm still being a pussy. i've had a few cold turkey heroin WD's but i fear methadone like nothing else.
i don't know what to say other than keep it the fuck up and stay away from opiates if you can
 
yeah i know english is not my first language so i can't put things in a way so that they look convincing.. why don't you put up some convincing, good words for us opiate addicts?
 
It's not about your language abilities. There are no words to convince people that haven't gone through this. Detailed stories about the nightmare of withdrawal aren't gonna make a big impression on me. Also, I don't have anything to cheer you up, if I were you, I'd score again long time ago.
 
I guess people really haven't been hearing about suboxone. Now that any regular doctor can prescribe it, its the best way to wd. Unfortunately, most doctors can't prescribe it and without insurance it's expensive as all fucking hell. It is a miracle though. You take it everymorning for 4-21 days (depending on what you're coming off of, methadone being the three weeker), and then you can just stop. The suboxone kills the sickness but doesn't replace it with another dependance. I kicked the dope (again) a week ago, stopped taking the suboxone yesterday, and I feel completely normal.

Silverfucked...

I just want to say thank you for sharing your story. It makes me feel like I'm really not alone, and not the only person who has to go through this shit. From reading your post about not playing the "struggling artist" role anymore, to the post about shooting again for the first time in a year.. This post definately has some pull at my heart. I'm not sure what to say except in my opinion, I would rather have clonidine than clonazepam for withdrawing. I've found that without the clonidine's taking the edge off of things, the benzo's only mask the major symptoms and kind of slow you down a bit. But for me clonidine always seems to really take the edge off. It's even helped me to make it through work. It usually makes me feel quite lethargic at first, and eventually you slowly get used to it, but the things it helps me with the most are usually two of my worst symptoms - the physical pain, and the sweating/hot flashes/cold chills. It also makes the anxiety more tolerable. So if there's anyway you can still get that clonidine filled, I think it would make a huge difference.

Other than that, I don't know what else I could say.. Except that heroin has really fucked up my life too.. Or that is to say that I've really fucked up my life because of heroin. My situation has changed alot, and things are quite fucked up right now.. and I have to try and stay clean on top of it. So man.. my thoughts are with you. This time around I'm trying to have faith. Just don't do it alone man. I really don't think it can be done alone. Find a 12-step community, find a church, family, friends.. Something like that. I should be saying that to myself as well...

Keep us posted, and do this for yourself man. You're worth it. I don't know you, but I know damn well that you're worth it, because you've helped me to feel less alone without even knowing it.
 
it is finished... 20 days later.. no more runny nose, aches, temp problems.. still shitting, but you know...

yep nothing left but chilling boredom and hideous anxiety.
 
as for going and scoring one... that stopped working a long time ago... once the drugs stop working for you, you'll understand why im doing this.

and when i say stop working, i mean it. no high. just a temporary relief from your physical pain.. feeling normal and hating every minute of it while your on it, but hating it worse when your off..

if there is a divine purpose to life it cant be for me to be miserable... and dope will always progress to misery, be it fast or slow.

someday yall are gonna look back at this and be like "damn he's right" just as someone told me a few years back. i didnt believe them. you wont believe me.

just know that you have the ability to get off junk without a gun.

huh? What a post.

Btw, how the 3rd day off, and the 4th, the 5th? Its not like you can just step off sub without any WD. You make it sound like a get out of jail free card. Sorry but that doesn't exist.

someone give an opinion PLEASE . i w/d'd from a 70-80ish mg hydro a day (at the end) habit...i have been off hydrocodone for over 17 days. the next two weeks after cold turkey from hydro, i started my PERsonally controlled methadone taper. in the end, i wasnt even using 2mgs daily, and i was in much pain mentally/physically . i experienced alot of shit, even till today. but today is SOOO fucking much better then the past few days have been. how safe is it, to take 5mgs of methadone just for a nice ltitle high? is it gona make me w/d hardcore?? im guessing it wont, if the last dose of methadone (which was serisouly like 1mg) was over 75 hours behind me. opinions please.

If i was in in you situation mate, i wouldn't dose. Unless of course you only did the taper to make it easier/cheaper to get high.
Youve made it this far,which is really fucking good. I would want all the pain and shit that youve recently been through to count for somthing.
I hope i don't sound judgmental...i really don't mean to come across that way.
cheers!%)
 
so i got my stereo jacked and dumped in the same day... why am i doing this??


i guess i dont want to add to my misery.. all i do is cry now... and then get embarrassed cuz its not the "macho" thing to do.
