cold turkey/home remedy, til Dr. appt.

This is my second post guys, sorry. Really need advice. Trying to keep together until Dr. appt. for one who prescribrbes suboxone which several folks have said is really helpful. As a recovering alcoholic I expected painful withdrawl but GEEEEZ, my opiate pill habit got out of hand so bad I'm up to 75-150mgs of hydro and oxy a day. Tapering off is not an option since I'm out of pills and money. Someone offered me methadone but they wanted $5 a tab and I got no clue how much that'll help. I got some trzadone from a friend who used to be a junky and he said it should help with the sleep and depression. Is he right? Man, I need your advice how to keep it together til my poor wife can get me to the DR.
THANKS, MAY GODS LOVE AND PEACE BE WITH YOU

the methadone will prolly help,but dont over dose yourself, start with 10 mg's,that should suffice for 24 hours maybe 36,its one evil for another though,methadone is very addictive too. you have to be in complete withdrawals to start taking suboxone or it will put you into withdrawala within an hour,so if your planning on taking sub,dont take ANYTHING FOR 48 HOURS before taking the sub, or you will be thrown into really really bad withdrawals, if you cant stand it take 10 mg's of the methadone,that will help a lot.now understand i'm not tryiny to promote methadone nor am i reccomending you take it,all i'm saying is if you HAVE TOO 10 mg's is all you need ok? i hope this helps
