Whatsup Bluelight,
I've been a lonnggggg time lurker of this forum, and have previously made a thread about quitting Methadone CT about 2 years ago.
A little background:
Was sponsored for snowboarding at a young age and was injured pretty badly at 17. I was started on Percocet 5mg and took that as prescribed for almost 10 months until it no longer was working for my pain (my wirst and leg are held together by pins and screws). I was gradually increased over the years until I maxed out around 40 mg Oxycodone per day prescribed. At this point I was already abusing my script, buying other scripts whenever I could and playing the doctor game very well to get what I wanted.
Fast forward like 3 years, and I was heavily addicted to Hydromorphone, like atleast 3 30mg Hyrdomorphcontin every day, until I no longer could afford it.
I was introduced to Methadone by a fellow junkie buddy and thought it was the greatest fucking thing ever.......lol not ($5 a day, never dope sick, can raise my dose as much as I wanted)
So I started on the program and being the addict I am, continued to raise it more and more, even though I knew I didnt need that much, I just wanted to be high everyday and still be able to attend University and go to work at night.
I stayed on the program for around 4 years at around 70mg, I decreased to around 40mg then did a fast taper over a weeks time from 40mg to nothing. I stayed clean from then on for a whole fucking year!
Then I slipped up again.
Began smoking/shooting Fentynal for about 6 months time until I realized that I was going to loose everything again, so I decided to start on Suboxone.
This was just over a year ago now that I began taking the Suboxone. I started at 16mg/day, quickly reduced to 8mg and stayed there for about 8 months. Then over the last 4 months I gradually reduced from 8mg down to around 1mg per day. Once I was somewhat comfortable taking 1mg per day, I completely stopped the Suboxone, this was 5 days ago now.
I just wanted to share the aid-medications that have been helping me immensely so far, and that have previously allowed me to get through W/D's with little troubles:
ANXIETY - I have been using Aprozolam 2mg (Xanax) ONLY when I really need it. (You do NOT want to start a dependency to Benzos thats a whole other hell within itself)
RSL/SLEEP - People may shun this, but this works wonders and I sleep sound every night, insufflate around 50mg S-Ketamine right before you want to go to sleep (the Xanax will help minimize the 'trippiness' state of the ketamine trip and allow you to just feel nothing, which is amazing when you want to rip your fucking legs off your body for a week straight)
DAYTIME ENERGY - Any type of Red Vein Kratom works wonders. I will take about 2-3 teaspoons in the morning and im good to go for the next 4-5 hours, try to minimize to dosing twice a day, you dont want to build a tolerence or become dependent on the Kratom, use it for a maximum of 7-10 days.
Along with those main meds, I also take a whole array of vitamins,B,C,D, Magnesium, omegas, supplements, and the odd immodium if I really need it.
I'll keep posting as the days go on to let you know how it turns out! Ive been addicted for around 10 years now, and I want this monkey off my back!
You guys are amazing!
