I'm on day 12 with no methadone, hydrocodone, & I was on it a little over 4 months but 7 years of opaites & whatever. So all I can tell you is I'm so glad I just stopped it. I started trying to taper on my own but I'm just not that strong. All & nothing for me. Please you can do this. Please listen to what everyone has to say. They have so much experience. Take their advice. It will save your life.
Glad your here.
Stick with one post. Much easier to follow for you and us.
Good luck.
sorry, sorry. Ive never used this before, that is why there are 3 posts. I found his profile and sent him a message. Thanks for the help.
I don't know SAVAS, but I know a little about methadone. If you have specific questions or want to know how I got off methadone, shoot me a PM or post specific questions on this thread. You are lucky to get off that drug sooner than later, 8 years I lived in done fantasy. Way to go on seeking help sooner than I did. When you pick a post, I'll be watching for your questions.
Hi well your doing good at the higher doses you can go with bigger drops always let your body be the final judge in dropping doses this is a slow process if your rush it you will go into withdrawals around 20mg you will have to slow down then at 10mg more just know it is possible to get off this stuff we have a lot of members who have done it right now you need to get on the vitamins go to walmart and pick up a 3 in 1 calcium/magnesum/zinc take 4 with breakfast and 4 with dinner in a few days this will really cut back on the withdrawals your ok now but you will hit ''road blocks'' that will put you in withdrawals that is normal for doing this your lucky you have not been on it long and your young that will really help you should have a mild withdrawal keep posting for support and check your e/mail..................Gnarly
