Call your local county board of health and tell them what happenned......unless you want to go cold turkey - - I cold turkey'd a 120mg dose and it took about three months.....but it didnt kill me and I didnt go anywhere else to cop - - - - and I didnt go on sub......And got to the ER if you MUST cop on the street .......it wont cost any more - possibly even cheaper and it will give you time to make a revision of plans......  And chill out some - - - Im know what its like but these people do want to help - - and its not Star Trek so none can beam anything to myou, ya know?

yes we are trying to help you. I have asked a few time where you are inSC to see if I can find any methadone clinics in your area .What is it that you would like us to do for you

I don't think she can get on a clinic if she got it for pain before, it's a tough situation. It sounds like you want off and maybe you should try to get some valium and imodium (immodium) to get you through it. The problem get's more complicated when you have 2 addicts because they both don't always want the same thing. It's easier if you seperate your habit form his and then deal with it.

lots of good advice...it is hard to find a dr who will rx u that dose of methadone for pain these days....but a clinic can help u for now....u need to google methadone clinics and the area u r in....there will be several clinics in almost every city..as far as getting a ride there...no one here can help u with a ride??tere r buses etc tho

suboxone as mentioned would also be a choice as u r 3 days out so sub would be an option since u r obviously in wd at this time...the websites are easy to find and thinkin the sub website was mentioned above...Cold turkey off of 100 mgs of methadone is not gonna be pretty..do-able but will be hard...kim715 is the forum member who knows more about methadone adddiction than most of us
lif u r in severe wd u may not be thinking clearly???is there someone who can help u 2 get set up so u can make it thru this wd??? I also think reading thru the health pages would be of some help as it is full of great info...be safe and keep us posted
