Hello all,
I've used this site many many times to research important answers to my questions since I ventured into the heaven and hell world of opiate abuse. It's clear that there are a wealth of intelligent individuals who belong to the community and I now look forward to being able to communicate with you.
How i arrived here: i was always just a beer and pot guy for years, until about 2 years ago i met Oxycodone (and to a lesser degree hydro). I was kind of bored with alchohol and had quit pot. It was simple - a couple of chronically ill co-workers of mine started offering to sell me their prescriptions of hydrocodone. It was fine at first - my wife and i would enjoy mellow weekends popping vicodin and enjoyed not drinking anymore! Made us feel the way you wish you could always feel. As time marched on and tolerance built up i found a connection for oxy - you know how it inevitably goes from there.
Here is where I am: i worked myself up to a habit of 400-480 mg of oxy a day (OC 80's 60's 40's etc...) with hydro's mixed in as well. I'm in quite a bit of debt and cant do this anymore - at least not everyday like i have been for the past 2 years. I've never broken the law, never done heroin, and never injected anything. Typical day would start with taking tagament, waiting an hour then crushing and swallowing about 120mg of OC, waiting 30 mins then snorting another 60mg. From there would snort another 40-60 mgs every 2 to 3 hours til the day ends. (this would be on the weekend obviously, i work full time - during work days it starts after work). Like i said, i couldn't continue this so.....
3 days ago i checked into a methadone clinic. It's been tough - day one they only gave me 20mg methadone - like spittin on a forest fire. Bad withdrawls, i've been wanting to rip myself into pieces. they then bumped me up to 30mg for the weekend - the withdrawls are better but i am craving soooo bad.
Here's my dilemma - in a couple of days i will be re-filled on oxy and hydro (i have scripts from a doc who is tapering me down) i dont think i will be disciplined enough to say no to them, especially after only a few days on methadone....will oxy still get me high after taking metadone for 4 days at a rate of 20, 30, 30, 40 ? If anyone has any insight, please share - thank you!
