47 Days free from Methadone

[Dozeman]

As many of you know I did a fast Methadone detox in 12 days I went from 20mg to 5mg and jumped at 5mg it was hard I did it with nothing but MH advice and with 60 Methadone 10mg pills sitting right in front of me guess I may be a 1%er I just was so mad at Methadone I could not let them win so I proved it can be done RLS was my worst to deal with I was one clean person sometimes 8 or 10 baths a day only thing that helped the RLS and sleep just was not gonna happen period day 4 it all turned around now I was not better bye any means but the physical let up but It did take about a month for me to feel like I was threw all the physical w/d symptoms I will never touch that **** again I dont care what the Dr says if you are trying to beat Methadone just know it can be done I remember reading others post of success thinking I wish that was me and now I am on 47days free and I am getting my life back I just wanted to let anyone facing Methadone know there is a glimmer of hope with will power and the right help you will be amazed how much better you will feel it cant be explained its like the devil is off my back good luck my friends you can do it

I can say one thing for sure before I put any thing A Dr gives me to put in my body I will do a little research Instead of just going with what they say to do It always was the same story for me The meds would work great for a little while then you get used to it and need more of it or something stronger not me anymore I will research any meds I ever take from now on

Congrats! That is something to be proud of!  I'm coming off of suboxone. I'm on day 6 of being clean. Most of my physical symptoms have let up. Upset stomach here and there. But the lack of sleep is freakin me out. It's literslly driving me crazy.
