My Methadone Detox Journal

[xxanxxtwo]

of course its not that bad you have not even begun yet

have you not been listening?methadone withdrawel does not even start for a couple of days if you were to cold turkey

the way you going about it will take a few days to get going but trust me it will get going


if you think you are dopesickon day two you dont even know what dope sick is


like i said in your other thread i went from monday morning 110mg to friday morning 110mg and i was not sick

methadone has a really long half life and builds up in your body it takes time to deplete the reserve but it will happen


i am glad you feel allright and that you think your will power will get you through this but i am afraid that this is not a case of mind over matter will power or not the fact is at the rate you are detoxing there is no question that you are in for a rough ride



good luck man

I concur. When I tried going cold turkey off of 80mg a day for around 8 months the withdrawals didn't even BEGIN until the end of the third day, and they didn't worsen enough to disrupt my life/sleep until the end of the forth day.

I went cold turkey on 400 mg of meth-- and the w/d didn't start for a week.

This guy's gonna get one good lesson, like it or not -- and it's too late for him to turn back now. he's already alienated the clinic -- in a month, the counselor he pissed off will still have her job and he'll be one sick junkie.

But I understand sick junkies because I am one too. If I were this guy, I would just go back to oxies now -- if he could get enough to not get sick. But it's gonna take A LOT of oxies to overside even 100 mg of methadone. and he's coming off so quick that he's still gonna have that tolerance whenever his "detox" ends, which I predict will be soon

Friend, maybe it's not too late to admit your mistake, go back to your clinic and get back on your dose.... Maybe the clinic is more compassionate than you think and they'll reverse this.

You are making a terrible mistake.

Having said that, though, I have made worse and more stupid mistakes. We all have at one time or another thought that we were stronger than the drugs....we always have to learn the same lessons over and over again. nobody can tell us anything until WE LEARN THE HARD WAY --

that's me, anyway.

Save you this journal for down the road -- in case you ever get an other great idea like doing a 20 mg at a time detox just to spite the clinic -- you think the clinic cares?

Anyway, I wish you luck, and if you can't do it, since you have involved us with this thread, at least have the balls to come back here and FINISH IT if you have to either:

1) do something even MORE silly and dangerous things to avoid your addiction and w/d or

2) you have a moment of clarity, realize you're immaturity and decide to take responsibility for your own treatment and recovery.

or if you succeed and go on to be a drug counselor!!

And this comes from someone who has also done a lot of number 1 and very little of number 2 --- I guess I just see myself in your post -- only I would just DO IT and not tell anybody. I just don't think you know how wrong you are yet...or you wouldnt be spreading your stupidity around so openly and blatantly....

but seriously, good luck. lets hope you're just "writing another chapter"

PS.

I may use a little 12-step slang, but i hate those meetings and I'm not in "recovery" because of my own personal resentments and issues--- but that's another post..

I'll go ahead and speculate about an upcoming update:

TODAY HURT LIKE FUCKIN HELL I"M STAYIN ON THIS DOSE! But seriously, this isn't near AS BAD as I thought! But I'M DRUNK! We'll see what happens, it's only been ONE WEEK and I'm starting to doubt but I took my ROXI (I take 8every day and use AS PRESCRIBED), seriously, I think this is JUST FINE, but I HURT LIKE FUCKIN HELL!

To be followed by:

TITLE: METHADONE WITHDRAWAL REMEDIES

What helps? I took 15 ROXICET TODAY and I have 30 left, and still have TWO WEEKS to get through! Any ideas????

Followed by either an admission of relapse or a vanishing act.

Now this post had me rollin :D

This is the most uninteresting thread I have ever read. For 3 reasons...

1.) You dont even plan on quitting opiates. This would actually be helpful and interesting if you were quitting methadone to be totally free of opiates. I cant believe some actually care about how you plan on detoxing so you can use again.

2.) Youre contradicting yourself. You type out an example of a coversation you had with a friend of yours on the phone, even quoting things that he said on the other end, then 2 posts later say it never happend, you were just faking the phone call. If you were faking it, why not say that to us in the first place so we dont think you actually had the conversation? Or wait, I guess youre just trying to fool us just like youre doctor so you get some kind of attention out of the whole situation.

3.) This isnt even meant for OD. Its journal material. No one reads journals, you say? Thats because half the shit written in them is stupid stuff like this. As said before, shit like this is what gives methadone clinics a bad name. No one takes them seriously because the people that use them dont take them seriously.

Honestly, I hope this fails for you so you can come running back to the same clinic and they can deny you help, then youll see what everyone who doesnt have the chance to get in to one has to deal with.

THEY DONT DENY ANYBODY HELP AND WOULD TAKE ME BACK IN A MINUTE FUCKSTICK................ ITS ALL ABOUT THE $$$$$$$$$$

And Keep you opinions to your FUCKING SELF, If you dont like my thread DONT FUCKING POST IN IT.....................
