Don't worry you're not the only one making excuses for yourself.I think that the biggest excuse of all that people make with these things is they get a little clean time like 15-30 days and wham!some minor ailment,off to the doctor and they don't even tell them they are addicted,come home with pain meds and think they are doing the right thing and can control it.At least you are still using while making the excuse.Anyway,Just give it another shot.If you keep trying you will succeed and then you will feel better.

its unfortunate but this i knew i just needed to hear it from someonelse i guess yesterday i was around a friend that gave me more than i usually taken thru out this whole experience i took 6 together i feel real crappy today and mad at myself i too 2 this morn to stop shaking  i feel guilty and mad at myself yall are rite its ganna get worse because its in my head too im just making excuses for myself

lol litl..  zombiehood.that is a word I have never seen, Hope you can eek out some time to get better soon.If you're not getting better you are getting worse.I know what you mean by high functioning but you have only been taking these for two months.This is the honeymoon period.This will not take long maybe two weeks to feel back to normal.If you keep going it will be harder and longer

At some point they no longer make you feel good and you are taking them to just maintain.  At that point zombiehood kicks in.  You may not be there yet.

The Thomas Recipe and Amino Acid protocol is under Health Pages on this page.  some use the tranquilizers..I did not.  Be careful with the L-tryosine. It made me jumpy at the amounts they stated.  I cut to one 500 and it was better.  Imodium is your friend use it as needed.  I doubled it for a day or so, as it also seems to with with W/D too.  Gatorade or anything to keep you hydrated is important.  Alteril helps with sleep.  OTC and non addictive.  
Take care and good luck.

You know the mind/body can fool you into taking the pills by making us think we are in pain?  When you withdrew from methadone did you use the Thomas Recipe and Amino Acid Protocol??  They are on this page under Health Pages and they are very useful.  They are a cruel crutch that eventually turn on you and make you a zombie!  Please give it time.  Keep posting and we will help as you go thru the withdrawals.

That is funny about planning the flu.  Never looked at it that way.

Hi beth, we can't talk about tapering schedules here.
I really hope you are able to get clean as soon as possible. We are here for you.

[littlebit667]

hmm, I think we need a little more information.  What were you taking and how much, also how long??  Welcome to the forum.
