I know this is going to be hard but you CAN do this if you really wan't it.
This is going to be one of the hardest things you'll ever go through( was, or is
for me). I know myself all too well to try and go ct, tryed it many times and it just ain't gonna happen!!! I have to taper and someone else has got to give me my dose(i am on methadone by the way)every day.
I have been in rehab several times but I guess I was just not ready to quit?
I started methadone a month ago today. I was taking 10/325s of percs or whatever I coud get my hands on for about 4 years. any where from 20 to 30 pills a day every day.
If you are truly ready to be done with this **** then I would think about rehab,
but you have to be ready, and sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Remember it took a long time to get like this and it's going to take a while to get through this. Don't try to rush or be in a big hurry, it is not going to happen over night. It is not just about getting clean it's about staying clean. Use the time while getting clean to work on getting used to NOT doing the things you did to get the pills. Really, theres alot of things you need to change,. EVERYYHING! People, places, attitude...............
Well i hope this helps.

Hi, find my article on page 2 or 3 called "sleeping with Clonidine" it will help you sleep. You need a doc for them but they worked for me throughout this whole process.
Here I am on day four, did not sleep well last night, only about 2 hours, wife having bad dreams BUT, I was able to lay there with little tossing and turning. NO restless legs. I think the Clonidine helped. No muscle aches or flu like symptoms through this whole process. Do not even want any hydros. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!
