ADDICTION: SUBSTANCE ABUSE COMMUNITY
Methadone to Subutex and benzos

Methadone to Subutex and benzos

I have been on methadone for 6 years with a max at 120. I am down to thirty and my doctor gave me subutex i waited 24hours to take it and it sent me straight into intense withdraw.  I tried it again and same reaction i feel hopeless because of how good people speak of getting off subutex is.  Also methadone took my testosterone levels very low and am on injections I want to detox quickly to keep up my test.  Will taking two months to get off 30 lower my test levels greatly.  Also I am trying to detox off xanex at the same time.  Every  night around eight I feel horrible. I went off 120 cold turkey and 5mg xanex and was hospitalized for 3 weeks but was at a rehab.  I have no more rehabs left under my insurance so its up to me without support.
