copied from the dark side .. Herby would this be better answered in OD? Tripman,tricomb,toothpaste and madog11 and albion and muvolution, Zneg and the rest of the lovlies in OD, they would give him a taper for sure... OR Ryan, you could ask this question over in OD for more expertise on all things opioid...Sorry, i will point out that OD is indeed "Other Drugs" a section of this forum that can be found here Ryan...

Well long story short have been sick for over a year even with pain medication. Have found out opiates in general are screwing with my pitutary and causing adrenal insufficency and like alot of us my testerone didn't went from around 550 to barely over 100. I was on 40mg methadone and 4 8mg hydromorphones a day. I got down to 25mg methadone then to 30mg oxycotin and 24mg hydromorphone's a day. Today I started to drop even more going to 8 10/325 hydrocodone's and 30mg oxycotin. I found my last test for adrenal function is starting to work again so I have to get off the opiates. I never abused my meds but that doesn't seem to matter other then the doctors use the word "dependant" instead of addicted. All I know is my body could care less it feels like hell just the same Anyone know of a better taper or should I just bite the bullet and cold turkey? If I do cold turkey what kind of hell and for how long will it take? I've been off the methadone and on the 30mg oxycotin for 17days now. The Dr. Thinks I'm still have issues from methadone due to the extremely long half life.
Any words of wisdom or just a I feel for you would be nice cause I feel like a emotional wreck. I frick'N hallmark commercial will bring me to tears. I'm a 200lb guy and feel like a 10 year girl
 
Methadone WD won't be gone till about the 30 day mark
Uve tapered well but I'd keep going the lower dose u jump off the easier it is.
It will feel like the worst flu ever, with restless leg... I dunno if u have had WD before ?
I think there's an opiate users toolkit for detox. It's old, can't remember who wrote it; maybe phreeX? Search bluelight for it these remedies exist for a reason n will make the whole experience better. Also I really like clonidine and benzos I u don't have a tolerance for detox. Clonidine for bp/anxiety/sweats... Benzos to sleep so u can finally stay still. Doc should give u these to help. My doc did.
Also there's Anxiety n depression: the worst part for me personally. Hopefully if u taper u wont have too bad a time. Oxy WD is only 6-7 days for the acute (can be a little longer or shorter dependin on the person)
 
Thanks I'm trying to just get off the short acting at the moment. I feel like hell today. Haven't thrown up yet but can't hold still and my stomache is going nutz. I got some zanaflex all it does is make it feel like benedryl not really helping and when it wears off I feel worse... I wish they had ibogaine in the U.S. I've heard some good things about it, but it's pretty much out of my reach and I would have to have a "sitter" not thinking I would want to take something like that by myself. :P
 
I have edited your post title. Please make your post title refer to what you want to discuss, you will get more responses this way.
 
dont use Methadone in this case i would recommend strongly by using the same stuff you are here to get detoxed for.. and that is Oxycodone

Use the 30mg roxicodone pills you get, however many you get, not sure but make sure you slowly taper like atleast 2 months and you will feel much better trust me and stay away from methadone, that shit will turn you into a full blown junkie in no time, and good luck coming off that methadone shit, cause only 1 percent of the people going to a clinic i was reading about online are able to detox off this drug, with those statistics showing how horrible of a choice for someone with your tolerance to be put on mmt, thank you.
 
Blueberry- I hear that sad thing it's to late I was on methadone 40mg for 2 years along with 4 8mg hydromorphone's. I assume the methadone shot my tolerence up. I'm struggling along at 30mg oxycotin slow release and 6 to 8 hydrocodone's and I feeeeellll awful :P but from the opiate conversion table's it's quite a step down so at least i'm getting somewhere. If I could roll back the clock I would of never been put on methadone thats for sure. I think i'm coming up on 3weeks of know methadone but the consensus here is 30days before relief. The stuff is the devil.
