Wheres a chatroom? Where we csn all talk?ive come from 110 mls yo 25 mls of methadone on own, need help and suggestions, etc.ehat has worked for others
Hi Faith! When I was withdrawing from methadone I went through feeling depressed. The withdrawals not only effect you physically but also psychologically. I have anxiety disorder and I'm on klonopin also. The anxiety was much worse when I was withdrawing. The longer someone is on methadone the longer it takes to feel better. That's why I had to go on suboxone once I reached 24mgs of methadone. I could have stayed on it and increased my dose but I wanted to get off. So I went on suboxone for the withdrawals and my medical issues. I give you a lot of credit. You are doing so well with your taper. Just remember, if you feel really bad then slow it down.
Thanks so much for your reply Cats68! I feel better knowing someone is going through same issues. IVE been tapering for about 6 months and lately im just gettimg so tired of all the control withdrawing has on me.ive allready been controlled by methadone for 12 years, and now the withdrawal makes me totally useless, but not giving up! Im on dailies, which is what I want, and my Doc lets me have control to tell the pharmacy when I feel like going down, this way makes me feel more in control and not scared thst it will go down and im not ready. Anyhow, i was going about 10% of dose until 5days ago i went from 30 to 25 and today, only 5 days later, down to 20mls. So im on day 5 of dropping 10 mls all together. Insane, and im still alive, im on clonadine and clonazapam, but I dont know if im waiting for a bomb to go off. Ive come off different ways and know the painn involved, too well! Anyhow, I just like to be able to talk about this issue freely, with ppl who understand. I thought methadone was causing depression and weight gsin, but both havent changed. I really hope things are better with out it.? Thanks for your time
Hi Faith! Just to let you know, you're not alone going through this. Many of people have gone through this including myself. I was on 110mgs of methadone and tapered down to 24mgs. I was on methadone due to pain and addiction issues. My problem was when I got down to 24mgs I was going through some pretty bad withdrawals. My doctor prescribed me suboxone to help with the withdrawals. The main thing is to taper VERY slowly so you feel the least bit of withdrawals. Methadone is a very strong medication and some people require a life time maintenance dose. I hope everything works out for you. You've come so far. Any other questions I will be happy to try and help you. Just remember, you're not alone.
