i started to take methadone after i quit roxys and they are ten times more addictive than oxys perks or any thing like them. i took them for a month and my withdrwls were 50 times worse than they were for the roxys. Methdones are the worst thing to start taking unless its for a short time suboxine are allot better and they get you used to living without have to be high. trust me ive been fighting my addictions for over a year now and i was doing roxys heavy for about a year xanax also help to take the edge off and help keep your mind off getting high but you have to space out the drugs you take or ull just get addicted to them
In my opnion methadone is just as addictive as the roxys. I kicked cold turkey and I am not gonna lie its hell......on the up side I no longer waste my money on pillls. My symptoms where like the flu with lots of leg pain and restlessness.Hot showers helped some.Good luck to you
yes im new here but i came off methadone 5days ago, i went only as high as 90 mg from coming off 3 80mg OXY a day and to be honest i proly would have been fine staying at 60mg of methadone but as a user we always go higher to reach our next high. Anyway i've gotten alot of info from these sites so i just thought it might help someone else if i shared my story. like i said i was at 90mg of methadone and stayed there for 4yrs when i finally had enough of the liquid hadcuffs i started coming down 5mg a week got to 50mg stayed there for about 2 months then pd to come down 3mg 1 week and 2mg the second week then back and forth till i reached 15mg then i went all the way down to 1mg , i went all the way down to 1mg because i was scared to get off on anything higher. so now here i am 5 days clean, my withdrawls have not been unbareible more or less flu like symptoms getting a little better every day im off 2 weeks from work hoping that will be enough to get over it! this is my first time going through thisand hoping my last , ive been taking a multi vit and drinking lots to help flush my system. so there u have it my story, I truly beleve your alot better off comming off 1mg , pluz gives u enough time to metally prepare ur self
Hi, welcome here :) this quite an old thread, you can copy your post and start a new thread but anyway, i wanted to say congrats on the decision you have taken.. i wish you all the best at the detox center and never give up !! we can do it !
My addiction started when I was young and had my wisdom teeth pulled and they prescribed me Vicoden 10mg's. The pills took my pain away and made me feel good inside; warm and fuzzy, like nothing could get in my way. I was productive and felt great. My addiction went on and off for about 5 years until I was introduced to a friend who was prescribed 30mg Roxy's. I remember the first time I took one how I felt. I'm ashamed to say it, but I was obsessing over this new powerful, "miracle" pill. That was about two years ago. Ive been a constant user, sometimes more than others. I have tried to quit but always come back to the addiction. I'm always making excuses for myself. Suboxone has worked well for me, but again, I always go back. Now with my first child on the way, a great girlfriend, beautiful home, and professional career, I NEED TO STOP. This is so destructive to my life. I miss being normal and not depending on this drug. I'm getting help today. I've got a few numbers of local detox centers. By sharing my story and reading other peoples helps me a lot. I'm hoping to put this bulls*** in the past. I've got too much to look forward to in my life. Good luck to anyone who is trying to quit. Many people do it and are successfull! Its not imposible!!!!
They gave me Darvon in rehab the first time around. It did work a little BUT IM PRETTY SURE THEY RECALLED THE MEDICINE BECAUSE IT WAS KILLING PEOPLE!
