I just had to chime in on this one...methadone was one of the larger mistakes that I made in trying to deal with this stuff - dont do it......

Don't do the methodone. I have heard this from a DR. So I agree with Great on this go CT.

Thanks...you just answered my question. I wondered why a dr. would put one on methadone  rather than just taper a little then ct or just ct. From all the stuff I've read on here...that s***t is nasty......I'm learning ahead of time...part of my maintenace program....look ahead to see what''s in store for me if i get stupid and decide to use again some day....you have alot of great things to say on your posts.

Hops...see i ask stupid questions, too!

GET OFF THE METHADONE NOW!!!!!! PLEASE DON'T TAKE THAT SH*T.

Go CT right now. PM me....do what you need. Don't take it. You are jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. The half life of that **** is hell.......stop now. You feel bad anyway so stop the poison before it takes over your life. You have traded a wounded house cat for a pissed off wild lion.
Please don't take methadone anymore. It will make your life take on a new meaning of hell .It's only been a couple of weeks. Stop now. We can talk about Sub or something instead.

Like was asked before....how long were you on them, what dose, how many times a day?
Good news is that hydros are one of the easiest opiates to come off of. I'll tell you my story to put it into perspective for you. I was taking up to 20 10/325 pills at a time....a few times a day. I was killing myself and sick 24/7. I made that mental jump to the "this is Bullsh*t" mindset. Once you get there...the WD's are NOTHING. What you will find is that after a few days your life starts to get better. You will have the ups and downs but it is better. You don't have to count the pills, take the pills, hoarde the pills. You know what I mean.
Post often and stay strong!!
You can do this. First of all you need to realize that your withdrawals are nothing compared to the life as a drug addict. You will feel icky and sad. Just go with it. Don't worry about tomorrow or think about yesterday. Just deal with right now. You can  do this. I did it and countless others on this forum have also. Stay here and keep talking. We are on your side!!
Congrats on getting your life back. You are such a strong person. Don't give up.

Well, shakes, hot and cold sweats, anxiety, sleeplessness, diarrhea, RLS  etc..The withdrawals can last 4-5 days with day 5 usually better than the other ones. Drink lots ow fluids, Gatorade helps. Eat bananas. It can be tough but you will make it on through. Keep posting. It helps to keep your mind off of w/ds. Good luck.
