I'd like to encourage those of you wishing to rid methadone from your life..

I was a long time chronic pain customer and ate the little bad boys like tic tacs..

Eventually, the meds become worse then the pain. That feeling of what time is it - is it time for more, how many tabs do I have, if I run out can I find more, etc..

I tapered, went C/T.. ate lorazapan for 4 days through the worse of the withdrawal and then nutrients, eating well, exercise..

2 months later, my head is still fuzzy if I'm not engaged in some type of mental or physical exercise. Everything is worse when I'm sitting around , doing nothing..

My doc says 3 months should see a turning point . I hope so.  anyone else have that long term fuzzy feeling in the brain. I know its receptors, etc.. but how long..

Good luck to all..  I understand some types of pain are too much and meds are needed..  For those who are being controlled by methadone, once you really make your mind up, you can do it..


Reading and talking on these boards are very helpful in getting your feelings out and passing the time when you can't sleep..
