Question by Dear: Methadone addiction (no judgments please)?
I’ve been on Methadone for three years. I began using it for migraines at 19 for migraines. I didn’t have insurance, and this was available to me at no cost, and did wonders fo my toxic migraines. At one point, I topped out at 50 mg/day, but I went right back down to thirty, and have been here at 20 for over year now. I’m quitting for several r
1. I don’t want to live under the power of this drug anymore. It’s like waking up with a hangover every morning. I don’t remember anything from he night before
2. I need to find a good job, as I’m being forced to live out on my own again (this is not drug related.)
3. I’m in school to be a vet, so methadone certainly isn’t going to fly i that situation.
4. I want to live a drug fee life.
I guess my question for all of you is, “what now” ? Do I jump? Taper? If so, how much?
Thanks for all the help!    Read more...

Best answer:

Answer by starrjan2874
only if they are both prescribed for you and the dr.’s know you are on both and they are monitoring you . i had a friend DIE from this combo. he was on oxycodone after a surgery, and a ” friend” gave him a methadone pill. he went to sleep and never woke up. he was 32!

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.    Read more...
