30 mg is a huge dose. why are you planning on upping your dose if you are already "In love" and you feel alright?

you have to make the conscious decision that taking drugs is just fucking up your life and you dont want to do them anymore. until you make this decision you are just joking yourself.

Congratulations on this difficult but right choice man. Don't worry about the money. I know that sounds easy to say, but think about how much money would go down the drain supporting the addiction.

I'm praying for your strength during the hard times and that you will come out the other side the kind of person you are proud of. Best of of vibes your way. We are all behind you.

You made a really bad choice. Methadone is better then bupe if your trying to get high, not if your actually trying to quit. Id say 90% of the people i know on methadone have been on it for 5+ years and the drs havent even attempted to ween them cuz its all cash in there pockets. The clinic where i live gives people massive doses in excess of 300mg alls it does 4 these people is get them high.

The reason ive tried quiting so many times is so my brain can function normally with out opies and i find bupe does that. Im not on it to get high dont try to get high cuz i dont want to.

Getting on Done is just and excuse for junkies to keep getting high everyday with out having to worry about money(as much) or legal repercussions. What ever though i dont know you so i dont really care that you just made the worst decision you could of made.

I disagree. ALTHOUGH, that's what addicts have turned it into; because simply doing outpatient methadone with no other counciling or anything is pretty much useless. All that it is make getting off opies more comfortable, which can be very helpful if used in the proper context.

Best of luck to you oceans 80. But don't expect to magically feel better and never have cravings again. Methadone won't fight the mental aspect of addiction, that's something you need to do yourself. It ain't easy, but 4, 5, 6, 7 months down the road you WILL be glad you went through with it.

i took my 40mg today...felt pretty good..later i ended up throwin an 80, some xanax, and flexeril into the mix..i'm feeling great right now..hope it carries long enough to my 50mg tomorow kicks it back in...

so far, although i'm only ni the beginning of treatment and still using..i can tell this was a good decision tomake...the feeling between methdone wellness and suboxone wellness is sooo different..i lovw the done

well...i did my 50mg dose today...felt good yday...came across cheap pills though so i ended up shootin an oc40 and takin about2.5mg of xanax (im very weak when it comes to benzos...they tear me up)...the xanax was still kinda kickin this morning so the 50mg dose i got today is feelin nice...but now that im at 50mg and will be starting to find a dose to stabilize im goin to try and refrain from the OCs


so far though...i think the wellness i get from methadone is so much better than that of suboxone

i dunno if its like this for everyone but bupe, although im not physically sick, makes me have crazy mental cravings...ridiculou s ones and i get an overall feeling of miserableness (fi thats a word?) and depression...those might be symptoms of PAWS but i dont know if those are real or just somethin in your head..i dont know too much about PAWS, i've only ever read about it over at opiophile...

however, the methadone keeps me well and i dont have that miserable/depression/super craving to go get high...

it feels great knowing i dont have to wake up and go hunting...



everyone i've talked to says i made a big mistake going to the done clinic though...people are saying it is HELL to come off but when i talked to the doctor he said the people that say thatare people who abuse it and/or just quit/unscucessfully discharge and do the 7-21 day speed taper...he told me when it comes time they will lower my dose at a comfortable level..5mg/week or 5mg/2 weeks...then once it is so low they'd erduce my 1-2mg...so i dunno what to think but i do know a lot of people do drop out of programs prematurely then blame it on some "flaw" at the doctor/clinic so i'm not sure what to think but so far i feel like i made the right choice...
