About Me: Female, 32, Portland, OR, member since Dec 2012
I am a 31yo female from Portland, OR. I have suffered from addiction for over 15years, primarily heroin/opiates. I have been clean for 2yrs this time, and have been on methadone matinence for 3years. I am currently tapering off of methadone and am almost at the low dose

[More] requirement to detox with buphenorphine. I am scared, very physically uncomfortable, hardly sleep anymore, and have ALOT of anxiety about the detox process as I know methadone unlike heroin or other opiates stays in your system for a LONG time and is not a quick detox as it can take months to feel "normal" again.
