Pls help w/ what I can expect.. Or advice..
I'm about to go through withdrawl from 10-15 mg of methadone in the next 2 days. I'm nervous, but I have no choice. I have a 830-500 job so I'm nervous about that as well. Idk how I'm going to function at work while going through this.. And I CANNOT lose my job bc that's the only thing paying our bills right now.. I'm terrified...but it has to be done.. Any advice on getting through and going to work. I'm scared...
Hang in there!!
Day 3...... Feeling icky this morning..I would really love to stay in bed and just rest today... I hope this day goes faster then yesterday.. I'm getting the sweats more.. I woke up uncomfortable... I hope the day gets better... I can't wait for the weekend..
Im not tempted at work-- theres nothing I can do-- It's when I go back to my MD for my 2 wk INR--- hes going to offer me all my rx's and i dont lnow if I have the strength to say no......
hun please, please ,please stop taking the methadone. yes it is masking your symptoms the roxys will be out of your system by now. if you keep up with the methadone then it will build up in your system and you will have to detox from that. the sooner you stop the sooner you will heal.
if you feel you will be tempted by all the drugs in your environment then maybe you should seriously think of working outside the hospital.

started on 15 mg.. not 15 pills lol then down to 10 mgs, then to 5 mgs and now on 2.5 mgs once a day....
I was talking mg, not amount of pills lol

no my MD does not know about the methadone-- I had it just incase it got really bad.. I can't lose my job, so that was like my back up plan-- but i started on like 15 aday for the first 2 days, then down to 10, then 5 every 16-24 hrs and today was my first time cutting it to 2.5-- I've only took 2.5 at 9:30 this morning and I think I'm doing pretty good-- I am really thinking that the methadone allowed me to come down slowly instead of cold turkey
but I am still struggling w my follow up appt w my MD in 12 days---- I can't even cancel bc I have to get my INR checked... that day is going to be my turning point I think--- and I am actually terrified....
