[MethadonesRage]

I take up to 20 pills of 10mg of Methadone an 5 0r 6 mg of lorazapam together, for at least 9+ yrs plus. I take my depression pill too cant think what it is starts with a p I think paxile or something. but I am wondering what the best way to get off this I have had some pretty wild withdraws that I don't even want to talk about but if someone who has been in this situation and got out of it. I am on the methadone for my back had surgery and its that bad again only this time I can still walk around unlike last time.So im hoping I can get some good info on what to do.and if the amount I take, how serious it is and what will happen in time. Plz no BS answers to try to freak me out just give it to me straight cause I want off

Just wanted to offer my support and I agree, you should post this in the Substance Abuse Forum.  It is much more active and their are many memb/Vers who have beaten methadone.
Good luck to you and hope to see you in the Substance Abuse Forum

Hi and Welcome,,If you post this on the Substance Abuse Addiction forum you will get more responses-this side is a little slower. Im gonna say this right off the bat-with Methadone the best way to get off that is to taper SLOWLY off of it-over months. The same goes with the lorazepam. These medications when stopped abruptly can cause viscious side effects. Have you set up aftercare or any outside support? Welcome to the forum!! There are a lot of members here and some will be along shortly that have more experience with the methadone. (((Hugs))))~Bkitty
