Can Anyone Actually Ever Get Off Methadone?
Question by penelope: can anyone actually ever get off methadone?
Im a former pill addict, and made the dumb mistake of thinking methadone would be the way out! Boy, what a mistake that was! Needless to say, a average person who starts the methadone program ends up being enslaved to the drug, these clinics kinda make ya feel their is no other way, and methadone is the wonder drug, and I fell right into this. That is till about 9 months ago, it just hit me one day that this is insanity, and I want my life back! So I started my taper, so far Ive gone from 90mgs down to where Im at now 40, and Im doing just fine, with one exception, I never ever hear any positive succsess storys about people tapering off methadone, theirs got to be someone out in this world who has done it and didnt have to suffer to bad, if you are out their or know anyone who has tapered off this horrible drug, please let me know that it can be done! I want to start hearing some positive stuff, all this negativity is bringing me down.
