please i have a big question

[evildone]

Well I started my story 2 weeks ago. I c/t off 65mg of methadon't. And was taking a few perc 10s to curve the draws to help sleep. After that I went back to methadon't 10mg a day for 4 days. The last time I took a 10mg methadone pill was almost 2 days ago and I feel fine? Could I have weaned myself off or will even that 10mg methadome still be working? I know that when I was at 65mg and missed a day I was in drawls the next morn. Please I really think I beat it but also scared its gonna come back in a few days. Peace and love to all with me on the battle

wel  its 3:30 and i still have leg pain. but thats it so far. also im very tired. if i didnt have all ue help and my ipod i think i would have killed myself. a week ago i was on the edge of doing something stupid. so now day 5 comes and im at the point to where i think i beat the worst of it. for those of u that dont know i c\t off 65mg of methadone and used percs to wean to just 10mg a day of methadone for 4 days then after that i felt like i had control of this im 80 hours clean but 2 weeks from c\t off methadone.i even went on a 3 mile walk with my bestfriend. his name is veto and hes a pitbull that has helped me through this. to all of you going through this right now. im promising you it gets better over the time. My heart goes out to each and everyone one of you riding this storm. Pills are all around me but I know that I never want anouther one ever.my high is life right now. Because when I was trapped on that stuff,all I thought about when I saw normal ppl is that I wish I was that happy. Today I got exited about my sobriety and I have not felt that great in a long long time. Ride it out baby. Ride it out its worth it when ur done to look at the new you in the mirror. Use this site to vent cause it helps love you all

I think Tyson read said it all,so I just want to add my support.I am a former methadone user also and I know how hard it is to detox from it.I'm glad to hear you're doing so well.I have to second what TysonRed said about after care,it's so important to have the necessary tools in place to fight the mental part.I wish you all the best....Kim

Well some of the methadone is still in your system, although if your not feeling bad right now I wouldnt expect for it to get much worse. You really should get rid of any remaining opiates you have in the house, you dont need that temptation, it only complicates things especially mentally. I wouldnt really worry about the w/d's that may or may not come, the worrying and stress only makes your mind go crazy. Whatever happens you can get through it, its kinda of a different tapering routine you used but sounds like it worked for you. Now we all say this but I have to say it again, getting clean is the easy part, you need to seek some sort of aftercare to give yourself a much better chance of staying clean. Ive made the mistake so many times thinking once I got through the w/d's that I would never use again because I didnt want to experience the w/ds agaiin. Well I can tell you that the fear of withdrawals are not enough to keep you clean, there really needs to be a support set up in place, because so many people end up right back where they started. I wish you the best of luck, keep us posted on how things go in the coming days. Im routing for you, I was a heavy methadone user for many years, so I love to hear about people beating this addiction, cause I know how hard it is. Stay strong and positive and you can do anything you set your mind to, you just have to want it.
Take Care!
