Im an Opiate Addict Who Has Been on Methadone for Over 5yrs.i Am Now Onlyat 30mgs and Trying Desperately To?
Question by DANIELLE R: Im an opiate addict who has been on methadone for over 5yrs.i am now onlyat 30mgs and trying desperately to?
get off the methadone. I have had enough of what it has done to me. I have gained over 60lbs from it, my skin (which was always great) is now a mess and it is now starting to rot my teeth! I already had to have a back tooth taken out! Anyways, things are great, i have been clean, got a schlolarship to college, and have been raising my 2 boys (one with autism) So wiht all of this going on im my life (and as a single mom) i cant be sick. So, i am serisouly thinking of switching to suboxone. What do you guys know about going from methadone to suboxone? I wont be sick right, since my dose of methadone is so low? Also, the side effects i mentioned above done happen with suboxone right? I REALLY just want to be off everything but i am not gonna wait another 30 weeks just to get off 30mgs of methadone. So i really need to talk to people who have been in this type of situation! THanks guys for any input!

I to am on the Methadone.And I just recently stopped my voluntary detox.I started at 80mg down t0 40,30,25,20,15.OMG when I hit 15 the withdrawals was so bad that I didn’t realize what it was I went to the ER thinking something was wrong with me.I was unable to walk I was using my babies hi chair just to get about the house and unable to get out of bed I have newborn twins and I can’t deal with this right now I went on like this for a month than finally i had to stop and I went back to 25 feeling better but not 100% like you I would like to be free of evry thing sick of something having control over me.From what I have heard from ppl on suboxone is there is withdrawals from that to.just as bad.I am stuck on this sh*t because I went to detox as soon as I found out I was preggers and came to find out that I could not detox and would have to go on methadone if I wantefd my kids to survive.well they did and for that i am grateful but again here i am stuck being addicted to this.horrible so what i suggest is if you can just detox from the methadone and just be done with all this stuff. its all the same.

First of all, I would like to say that I don’t have specific knowledge about opiates in order to answer your question. That being said, my humble opinion would be for you to find a natural way to address the anxiety that is causing you to have an addiction.
We all have addictions because of unresolved emotional issues. The best way I know of to pluck out the root is to learn about emotional freedom techniques. You can learn and apply it yourself. A great source is www.emofree.com
Skin always reflects the condition of the insides of our intestines and organs. Your body is responding negatively to substances not designed to be in the human body. Going to your nearest health food store would be a great resource for you. There are cleanses you can purchase to purify your organs that retain toxins and cause disease in the body.
I hope this helps.
