Detoxing Off Of Methadone

But, sorry, I didn't answer the questions you asked. I don't recremend detoxing @ home!! None, of it will be good. So, I think you need to get to a hospital!!! If there was an easy way out ~ we would all be doing it!! It sucks! I compared it to a sober person cutting off their own foot. Thta's how hard it is! You know how bad it's gonna hurt. Just do alot of research and talk to docters before you do anything! Good luck~ I'm going through the same thing...

I've been through dfs w/ my daughter cause of being on methadone. I got a lawyer and the case was thrown out because methadone is a drug program. But, I've been on it straight for 2 yrs and am so ready to get off. I too am on 110. That's kinda funny~ were all on the same mgs. I'm just gonna start saving up money and go to a good detox program. One that helps w/ the sympotns. You can die from metheadone detox if you have any other health problems. You would think w/ how much herion and opiates have become such a problem, there would be some more progressive, safer medication!! But, go slow and don't let DFS scare you~ they legally CANT nake you get off methadone!! I'll say a prayer for us~ I think there's alot of people in our situation. I hope that soon, there will be an affordable way for people to get off this pioson!!! Thanks, Rach

My boyfriend has been in methadone program for 3 years. He is on 110MG daily and has recently decided to start titrating down through the clinic. I am afraid that he might not be ready. I have only been with him about 1 year and have only know him on and in the program. I am looking for others who have helped loved ones through the process and anyone who can tell me what to expect or to look out for to help him. Thanks and much love to all in the same situation.

im a 24 yr old female who just had a baby shes 6 sweeks old and she went thru w/drawls. she was in the nicu for 41 days it was hard. the whole time i had to travel 6 hours there and back every other day by myself, i had no one helpingme or really coming to visit me during the 41 days we wre there. my baby is fine now but i displayed lots of tearfulness and stress when i was in her room and signs that i wasnt able to handle my duaghter so thay wanted me to put her in foster care, i cried and cried and ultimatly dod what wa best for harlow and that was to put her w/ relatives until i was mentally stable. none of my family was willing or had the time money or patiemce to keep her for 90 days. i have my 3 yr old, still struggling going to my clinic 3 times a week and taking care of her by myself w/ protective daycare, the father is very abusive. at any rate, today we had a team meeting at dhs and they are wanting me to go into detox and get off this **** once and for all. i am deathly afraid of the w/drawl id rather die i cant even begin to tell u how afraif i am. iv been researchin it and ur heart can stop or u can sieze and can leave permenent damage to ur face so it srays like that. Im on 110 mg and my clinic wouldnt advice it, they recomend titrating down but then they tolf my worker its gonnabe hard but poses no health risk as far as dying and such and it goon from anywhere from . I have like 82 day to get off before the courts are invorved i just dont know if i can mentally do it in sucs s i im gona pass out my likxcxcxcxc
