Was on 16mg of sub for a year. I knew the detox was going to take six months. So I went to methadone clinic saying I wanted be on maintence. Went up to 50 mg and down to 20 in a 24 day period. 2nd day off meth I took tramadol took that for seven days. It has been ten days absolute no withdrawl. Also used lyrica,klonopin and prescribed Addie's.

Good for you hope you can stay clean I guess you found something that works for you. Unfortunatly everybody is different so what works for you may not work for the next guy lots of people can't jump off methadone die to how addictive it is and the length of withdrawals after stopping. Why did you go off sub's then on to Meth? Methadone is so much harder to get off for most people but mabye your different then everybody else I guess

Okay so I am new to this site of posting and searching. I have been seeing post from years ago when I do a google search and read, I wanted to post on a thread from 2010 but I doubt anyone would read. I wanted to share my quick detox experience of pain med to help anyone else that doesn't have a lot of time and a busy life.
I am currently in pain management and received scripts for over a year for 30mg oxycodone and suppose to take them 4x a day. We all know the whole running out early every month and saying oh just one more today and I will take one less tomorrow and so forth. But let me tell you my history first.
I am currently a 28yr old female with 3 young boys and graduating this Sunday as a clinical lab scientist. I of all people never thought I would fall in the trap of being dependent on a medication although I knew the risk before hand. I have worked in the ER as a tech for 7 years and have seen it all from addiction to withdrawals to people that need pain med and won't take it out of fear when they have 3 broken bones in their leg. At the age of 25 I was diagnosis with fibromyalgia cause no one knew why I could sleep 18hr straight and still be tired along with all the pain I had. I started from antidepressant to tramadol to lyrica etc. With failed attempts from my primary doctor I saw a rheumatologist and then was dx with lupus. Okay success I thought I knew what was wrong , well the med for that takes along time to work and that didn't explained my back pain I have been having for years. I doctors then sent me to the spine and pain doctors and after three doctors looking at me like a 25yr old just trying to get pain med I decided okay I will live with it. My primary doctor started me on the butrans patch but that didn't last the 7 days and always came off in the shower etc. While that didn't last long cuz I was missing out raising my boys I tried one more doctor. This doctor actually listen to me and looked over my records and my pain journal that I started (there is an app for pain management to log in when where how long and what helped,etc) along with the x-Ray reports. I knew I had scoliosis from when the middle schools use to do the check and my pediatrician didn't really do anything cuz I was kid and no issues,, big mistake I see now. But back to the point this doctor said that I had a 20 degree angle which is one of the worst he has seen.. Why didn't any other doctor see this and mention it??? He sent me for an MRI and while waiting and going threw this process I had a huge fibro flare that landed me in the ER of course working with the doctors in the ER one switched my butrans patch to the equivalent which was 30mg oxy to get me threw til my next appt. I was happy cuz that is what I wanted and that is what has worked from getting a couple here and there from friends. I documented everytime I took one and my pain etc only 2 aday is what I needed. When I went back to the PM doc he said that I also have 3 herniated disk and kept me on the oxy since it works.. I am now up to 4 a day , well sorta (personal issues with not working got in the way) well so I run out At about a week and a half cuz 2 a day goes back to if I take extra today so I came the energy to be super mom and get everything done I can take less tomorrow. Working the the medical field I knew I would dependent but never thought I would be a addict, I went from oral to snorting and my max dose a day had been up to 7 pills. I never did enough to nodd out like they say just enough to deal with the pain and give me the energy and we all know that wears off . Now every month I get sick and look to buy and only get a few at a time to just lessen the w/d until my next appt. well after trying to quit multiple times with laying in bed for 3 days etc since my husbands knows and let it happens I'm done!!!! I tried the whole weening and having my husband only give me one when needed but you know how that is when he is gone you find out the code to the safe and etc.
This month I ran out after 1 week and I told myself I am done !! I finally have a job to pay bills and though I'm scared to be back in pain I can't deal with being sick every month and struggling to raise my kids I want me life back!! So I Sunday night I took my last two I had hidden awhile ago and found after thinking and starting to be sick I was fine Monday until about 11pm which was 24hr, I took two Benadryl and laid in bed Tuesday sweating everything out and drinking water, and instead at this point when I would be texting to find more pills I asked for suboxone. I got two 8mg strips. I folded and cut it into 1mg pieces.. Tuesday afternoon around 2pm I took 1 mg and waited for 30mins with little relief I then took another 1mg = 2 mg under the tongue and felt a lot better.. Befor when I have tried I always started with 4mg and didn't need to. Since sweating and dealing two days you body has mostly detox so the need for suboxone is very little. I have not really eaten but drinking a lot of fluid and taking multi vitamin,
Yesterday I took only 1mg around 11am and today took 1mg around 10am and feel good with not being sick. Tomorrow is Friday and I have my sons field trip and will not be taking any unless I can't deal but since today marks 4 days I think I'm in the clear of being sick. Now it's the mental. I already canceled my next appt for next month!
If I can do it anyone can. And I still have 6mg of the one strip left to do .5 if needed . I'm just using it til the oxy is completely out. I don't understand why it's used as a long taper drug.

Well you might as well just post it here then since you already mentioned it.
