How do you detox yourself from Opiates with Methadone?

   Hi, whatever u do don't go the methadone route, u will be sorry in the end.  I started taking methadone over 7yrs ago for a pill addiction, at the time I just didn't want to deal with the withdrawals so I got on methadone and it has been the biggest mistake of my life.  I wish I knew then what I know now!  There is no get out of jail free card.  U should just stop the pills and get it over with! DON'T TAKE METHADONE!!!!!

dont do that! i decided to do that almost a month ago i am now trying to detox from meth i am at 10mg and it is horrible by 8pm i am in so much pain hardly sleep i wake up in a pool of sweat my face sweats all day every move hurts my legs and arms even my hands ache as though ive been bashed with a mallet. i drag tail to the clinic to get my dose hopping for a little relief. i dont even know how much worse its going to get. if i could go back and wd off the pills i was on i would in a second when i think of what ive done to myself the hole ive put myself in it breaks my heart. even if you cold turkey from the pills your looking at 3 or 4 days off flu like symptoms i am looking at 2 more weeks of at least that then once i jump off the meth it will get even worse for another week or more. dont do it. you can do this off the pills. go to a detox rehab if you have to. trust me its worth it. i thought i cant do that i have kids blah blah but now i realize i am leaving them every morning to get this meth juice and if i had just done what needed to be done id be long past wd and on my way. good luck and god bless

methadone is an opiate so you are not really detoxing in any sense.You are just trading a short acting opiate for a long acting one.You are trading your monkey in and getting a gorilla in return.
  There are alot of non narcotic alternatives for help getting off of opiates.
How much are you on now?How long have you been on them and what drug?  Glad you are wanting to do something about this.There are a lot of great members on this forum who are happy to help so stick around and keep posting.
