How long are the withdraws to get off methadone/oxycotton?

[Luxy88]

I really need help, I need to get off this ****. Everytime oxys are around I do them, because I get them for free. I know how bad they are but I feel like I have no control. Sometimes I will even sneak them behind boyfriends back. I have methadone to hopefully get me off everything all together. Usually i can take about 15-20 mg a day of methadone and usually can go a day without having any withdraw symptoms. Ive never actually had bad withdraws because ive never let myself get that far without doing them. But I HATE IT. Is there any advice at all anyone can give me??? I started theses because of my boyfriend who has a drug addiction.... im a nursing student and I CANNOT let this ruin my life. I have been to the methadone clinic... thats a joke... and I went to a private doctor who prescribed me soboxine.. which was fine except he never drug tested and it didnt prevent me from doing other drugs.. any advice?

There are many ways to get off of these pills, and you've come to the right place in looking for avenues to take through this thing we call our road to recovery. I know it sounds cheesy, but a lot of people have gone CT [cold turkey] from these nasty little pills and I am one of those people. Whether you go to rehab or not, you're going to go through WD [withdrawl] symptoms and for most people, they're not going to be easy. A lot of the process is a mental/emotional thing, and in the begining it will be a physical thing. Keep posting and let us know what's going on, and maybe you could tell us a little more about your story. For instance, are these pills prescribed to you, or are you just getting them from friends or family members?

hey luxy, fortunly for u there is a way to get off these dumb pills. Ur not gonna like the anwser but im gonna say it anyway. Its (drum roll please) REHAB the dreading word all us drug addicts hate. A place where we cant get high anymore and we get our old life back what a tradity i know. well thats how i got off oxys, oxys are so hard to kick by urself and deadly, did u know if the withdrawl is bad enough u can go into ceasers. No good. My advice is look it up on the internet of a place where u can go by u that will fully detox u to get all the drugs out of u and u feel no withdrawls at all, and will teach u how to live a life without drugs and how to stay away from drugs. Worked for me and it had worked for millions of other people. Why not u? well if u need me im here for u.
