Methadone FREE

[Heather8448]

I havent taken anything for pain in a little over a year. I was on methadone DAILY for 7 or 8 years life became a blur. I kicked it with the help of this sight and my bed. I dont reccomment anyone do it like me, but it is possible...we can do this together! It was hard scary and painful but worth it. so if your questioning it just know if i can do it anyone can
keep the faith never lose hope and believe your worth it too

It is so great to hear you feel it's worth it. We always knew it, but to feel it is the gift of patience, hard work, and time. You passed all the tests, I really love to read these threads. Clarity eventually builds purpose, I just know you have an important purpose. It's not too bad anymore, but never get complacent, never stop growing. Way to go Heather.

Hey congrats to you for getting off the methadone it is a real mofo to get off of but with time it is so so worth it just take it one day at a time and try not to get discouraged methadone is very cyclic so you will have good days and bad  the longer you go the better it will get it been a long long time for me but reading the post about it brings me right back to the struggle it is to get off keep pushing forward get to as many meetings as you can and you to will make it off of the liquid handcuffs

i jumped from 50 mcg fentanyl every 48 hrs to essentially 1 extra break through med a day.  my doctor had NO CLUE what she was doing and it has been 7 days and i am feeling better.  i think it is kind of like ripping a band aid off, either do it fast or slow.  i think even if i tapered, i would have went through withdrawal every drop, so i guess it was best for me to go through it once.  
it is very scary.  not going to lie, but i pray the worst is over.  congrats to you
