As it was said, you need professional help and a treatment center is your best bet. You are right that one day you will just not wake up and that is scary. If you do make it (waking up every day), what kind of life are you going to have? You will not be able to have a relationship, not a real one anyone, and you won't be employable. Your only friends are going to be the guys you get high with. You are young and have a shot at this. Get the help now.

thank both of you. im sorry i was really messed up on my meds when i wrote that . im new here so i was looking for advise. i know im not ready to come of methadone yet and not sure when i will. im talking about when say 9pm hit  s my brain wakes up and says party time.  Im  24 and starting usuing pot at the age 17 to escape my anxiety in school and out of school plus i have crohns and it really helps me eat and want to eat.  if i dont smoke i just feel ill and dont want nothing to eat. but im not going to lie i was using pot way before all this medical weed came out so you all know i also like to get high   The problem is the flexeral and klonopin   cocktail i take at night that scares me but i do it anyways. just to get high and feel good. the doc tells me to take one flex right before bedtime but i take like 2-3  instead   starting at 9pm  1mg  klonopin and one flexerial. combo, it like jumpstarts my methadone  and make it start working again at night cus i only take 2 methadone ten mg tabs about right after i drink coffee so i can use the restroom  . so i usually dont take anymore methadone during the day . perhaps taking anther half or another one at 9pm instaed of this dangerious cocktail. im suppose to take a klonopin when a methadone in the morning then the other one at night but i just keep poping them. im going to try  taking a half of methadone tongiht and see if that will control me poping extras that will end up killing me  . thats what i ment sry

HI ....well it sounds like you have quit a cocktail of drugs going on....flexerill and benzo is not a good combo ether...and methadone and benzo's has killed many...im not Quit sure what your looking for here....are you thinking of go off this stuff?? and if so rehab ant a bad idea you have so much going on pulling you in so many different directions ....I have experience with methadone and your dose is low but you have been on it a wile so if you want to get off we can explain how to do that...I also have experience with benzo's and you do need to do that under a dr supervision they have to be tapered slowly or you risk seizures...as for the weed it may not cary a physical dependency but it will hook you physiologically...I abused it for years...please post back with what your intentions are
we will try and help you any way we can...professional help would be best but if it is not available I can help you off the methadone...good luck and God bless...Gnarly
