Avatar m tn 60 Mg a day of Methadone and 180 Mg Roxy. Weaned down to 2.5 mg three times a day of Methadone and 45mg Roxy up until two weeks ago, i dropped the Methadone. Now I am just on the Roxy and con not seem to take that next drop. I feel like **** and am afraid to go through what I went through last time. Now my question. Should I introduce a small amount of Methadone back into this to try and get off of the Roxy?? Sounds stupid Im sure but dropping the Roxy wigs my system out. Thoughts?
492561 tn?1209349433 Hello. My name's Kacey. I just recently decided to stop taking roxy and oxycontin. I'm young, only 20. In high school I expiramented with all sorts of things but in the end, I only kept smoking cigs, drinking, and smoking pot...until recently. I moved back to Florida and I got this new job, telemarketing (haha), started meeting people...and shortly thereafter...I was offered a "roxy". I had no idea what it was, just a pain pill was all I knew.
Avatar f tn m tired of freaking out when I dont have them. Anyways last Thursday I stopped taking the pill and started using 10mg of liquid form of methadone to help me get through the withdrawals did it from Thursday-till Sunday but lowered Sundays to 5mgs then Monday I don't nothing at all hoping I was in the clear and I wouldn't hbe any more withdrawals.
Avatar f tn I have had a pretty bad addiction for the past year on Oxy, roxy, and worst when those run out methadone. I just started suboxone today, I split an 8mg tab in half and let it dissolve under my tounge. How long will I have to be on suboxone to wean myself off from everything? Awwwe! The days when I didn't need anything at all. I can't wait to get back to that again!
3217939 tn?1345929459 I was using roxy cottons for a while then quit b/c I started going to the methadone clinic...I am on 70 mgs. I have been going and on methadone for 3 yrs come jan.19,2013 I am soooooo ready to taper off!!! CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME THE EASIEST WAY TO GET OFF OF METHADONE?!?
Avatar n tn Hi everyone. I recently got off 30mg of methadone. Well I was on 30mg for about 4 mths and started tapering off. When I got to 15mg I decided to quit. I lasted a few days when I started having severe restless leg, loss of appetite, anxiety, hot and cold flashes, and insomnia. I didn't want to get back on methadone because of how long the withdraw is.
Avatar f tn hi Roxy ....after being on methadone for 6 1/2yrs and then having to taper off it for 8 1/2mo I wouldent recommend it to anyone...the withdrawals are the most sever out of all the narcotics and trust me it took a good 90days just to start to feel better after I was off your best bet would be set up a taper plan with the oxy and stick to it... how much oxy are you taking??? and how do you take it whole,bit it,or snort it//???
Avatar m tn They almost killed me. Methadone gets you high, and the detox off methadone is much longer than most opiates. On the other hand, I recognize that they can be effective if used correctly. A few questions: If you couldn't control the roxys, what's different that makes you think you can control the methadone? Are you looking for pain management or sobriety? How did the doctor suggest you use them?
Avatar n tn We did 25mg methadone the first day, 20mg methadone the 2nd, 15mgs on the third, 10 on the 4th and 5 on the fifth. We skipped all withdrawal sympoms from the oxys and in 5 days stopped taking the methaone. We were off both pills in 5 days with no withdrawals and havnt taken a pill since. People will tell you to stay away from methadone because it has the worst withdrawal symptoms lasting up to months.This is true but only after you become physically dependent on it.
Avatar n tn I am not here to put down what you are saying sub does help but you also have withdraws coming off of them some ppl have just as bad w/d as they did when they were on oc, roxy..etc I took suboxone for 3 months starting at 24mg and tappering down to 2 mg and was on 2mg for week then c/t and the w/d ***** i was sick same as oc so I then went to methadone and have been on it for yr and doing well and yes that too has w/d just bad so its all taking you to w/d you have to be ready to overcome them.
Avatar f tn I went on Suboxone for Roxy 30 and Opana 30 Dialudid and Morphine Roxy and Opana was a daily thing and the others were at least 2 weeks out of the month when I could find them. From what I have heard Methadone DT's are worse than any the Roxy WD's I thought I was dying from. Correct me if I am worng PLEASE. I am not speaking from experience just from what I have heard from friends on Meth. I am 7 days off Sub's and compared to WD's from my Drug of Choice was a cake walk.
Avatar f tn I just recently found out I was pregnant. I was already struggling with a 1-3 30mg a day roxy habit. I tried to quit cold turkey but started having cramps on day 2 and after a lot of researching I learned that going cold turkey runs a high risk of miscarriage in the 1st trimester. I wanted to come off safely so I took 10mg of methadone daily for 5 days. I started to feel withdrawals again and got scared so I got 6 more 10mg a few days later and did one a day.
5890854 tn?1377264632 Hi and welcome! This detox will have a different time frame than your detox from Methadone. Methadone has a very long half life and the withdrawl symptoms don't even really begin until around the 3rd or 4th day. They are much more drawn out than other opiates with a much shorter half life and can last several weeks and even longer in some cases. The withdrawls for Oxycodone and similar drugs usually start within the first 24 hours after your last dose. They usually peak around days 4-6.
Avatar n tn So since ive takin it in the past from roxycodone and didnt have any problem i figured since methadone is a long acting opiate and alot was still in my system is why i got sick so i stopped taking the methadone 5 days ago and have been back on the roxycodone 30 mg a total of 150mg's a day. Do you think i can start taking the subutex any time soon?? Any anwsers will help please i feel like im all on my own with this.
Avatar n tn For those looking for ways to quit... I waited till I was in w/d's from roxy 30's. I was on quite a binge, and from some advice from a methadone user, I took one 10 mg methadone for approx. 3 days. That got me thru the worst of the w/d's. I quit the methadone after three days, had no w/d's and have been drug free for at least a month.
Avatar m tn Hey there! I just wanted to respond to your post. I do not have any experience with Methadone, but there are others on this site who do, and I'm sure they will chime in with advice and support soon. I wanted to bump this up so it is not missed. Hang in there, and I wish you all the best. Take care!
Avatar m tn but its been at least 5 to9 months since ive done any pain killers but some days i still get withdraws but they arent severe just depression, lack of motivation, and heat flashes. I quit taking them for about two weeks and i got more and more depressed. Im not sure whats wrong with me if it psychological or if i may be addicted to the subs or if im still withdrawing from the pain killers. Any advise? Ive been struggling with this by myself for to long and i dont wanna live like this anymore.
Avatar f tn m taking classes 2 days a week and not working and just that wears me out. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired and wish so badly I wasn't controlled by this little blue pill.
782880 tn?1236135225 my friend nos someone who gave birth to a roxy and methadone lil boy what should we expect
Avatar f tn the last 2 years was getting bad for me so i decided its time to get off they made it so difficult to taper me down kept putting in for decreases and finally found a counsleor who helped me taper down to 45mg and i quit methadone 8days ago and im in the worst w/ds i have ever had far worse than the roxys, and will have a much longer time in recovery due to methadone terrible half life.
Avatar f tn Did you sign a "pain contract" stating you would only take pain medications prescribed by the pain center? If you did yes, you are at risk for being discharged from the clinic. If you didn't sign the contract, they may or may not ask you to show them prove, like a prescription from a dr, that you are legally prescribed the roxy and xanex. Do you have breakthrough pain that methadone doesn't take care of?
Avatar f tn Basically, if you don't wait a day and start withdrawals between your last dose of methadone and your first suboxone dose, you will go into immediate withdrawal from the suboxone, so your doc knows what he is doing.there is no other way to switch.good luck!
Avatar f tn I have been a member for a while and had a really big problem with roxys and oxys that lasted for about 2 years. I then got off roxys and switched to methadone, I was on methadone for about a year and was taking about 120 mg every other day. Sometimes I could take up to 160 or 170 mgs in a day all at once. Needless to say, I knew I just wanted to be off of everything. I generally don't have an addictive personality, but the withdrawls are so bad that I always relapse.
519282 tn?1211883994 I have a 3 month old and a 3 year old and I needed sleep so I messed up and did half of a Roxy 30mg. I did it at like 8 and by 3 in the morning i was already feeling it in my legs but I did get sleep. My question is...Is my withdrawals going to start all over now...I had made it to day 4...so am I going to go through erverything Ive already went through??
Avatar f tn If you think your withdrawals are bad or hard now, trust me...Methadone withdrawals are 10 x worse and last 10x longer...... If I could take it all back, I would have stopped the opiates and never went on methadone..... After being clean for 6 weeks, I can tell you that it does get better, a whole lot better....... As for fighting your addiction for the rest of your life...
