REPORT

I'm currently feeling minor with Drawls from a week off methadone. I was on 100 my then 89 when I felt like I was bound to the clinic.. I didn't mean to just stop cold turkey.. I feel like I'm lost. Not hungry. I'm also drinking liqour like water.. not a good idea. It is what I do. I was using heroin. Went to prison and got over it.. idk how I got back on the road.. but I'm working out and sweating more and more than usual. I recommend you to be strong. I can't wait for my son to be living with me again.

How about if I'm only taking 1 10mg pill form a day? When I eventually get off, will the withdrawal be much worse than oxycodone?

My journey on methadone:

I deal with stomach pains in the morning, whether I eat before or after I take my dose, or not at all. I understand I wasn't too happy before all my drug issues but I feel like the drug adds an extra amount of depression to the mix with sudden feelings of sadness. Sometimes I can see it and work through it, but other times it can really affect my day to day activities. I lost a lot of my sexual appetite in my relationship that pretty much summed up the ending of it. It was for the best.

I lost a lot of weight until I started using cannabis to help me build my appetite up which I hope comes back once I fully taper off. I am currently at 26mg and have been tapering down for about a year now from 45 mg. Does anyone have any helpful tips when I start getting closer to being off and what I'll have to expect once I get off and dealing with the minimal pain (I hope) since I still have responsibilities.

I feel close to the end of this treatment and I can see how it's helpful if you have a mentality of getting off of methadone as soon as you feel ready, and it's easy to end up on a high dose.

If you have severe chronic debilitating pain it is great. If you ever want to have emotions, enjoy hobbies, have ANY libido, or generally like to live happily, then for God's sake DO NOT start Methadone. It will suck the life, and love from you in short order. If you do start it, have a plan with your Dr. And be careful. I have been on it for over 20 years, (disabled veteran), and I lost my interest in everything, my 16 year marriage, gone. Social activities, gone. Relationships, gone. Alone, since 2012, 61 years old. No way I will be able to get off Methadone now. Only recommend for Fentanyl, or other highly addictive street narcotics for short term withdrawal. Please use any other medications for pain.

methodone is used to treat people w/herione, pill, and some crack and coke addictions. It isn't addictive it just keeps you from having withdrawals from these other things. You can take this drug and not feel any high off it if you keep taking the same dose and not upping it. It is to control your withdrawal simptoms. What else would u like to know? It works for it's perposse.
