Just an update on my reply to post below “@chrissys31”. I have,with the help of my local gp(doctor) and social drug worker access to residential treatment in England,i stay in Scotland and can only thank god for the British NHS for helping me out with what was a self inflicted illness. Whatever,i am just about to go into a good rehab clinic that is going to get me meds to come off the Methadone and more importantly find the reasons behind the drug taking to begin with. Thank god for the UK NHS
Is this guy a nut bag or what?? He has not a clue about methadone addiction nor recovery and is obviously self oriented and is I would guess in league with the pharmaceutical companies who are actively fleecing america at the expense of it’s young people. These pharmaceutical companies all have lobbies who court politicians to relax drug laws and regulations. Don’t take the bait and if you already have 15 to 20 days and you will be on your way to not being a slave to glorified drug dealers
@chrissys31 I got addicted to taking heroin so i went to my local gp who prescribed methadone and before i knew where i was i was taking 200ml’s a day! My taking Heroin was just a play thing so to speak but the trouble started when i tried to get of the methadone. My god,i have never suffered so much pain in my life. It’s been 3 months now and i’m down to 35ml’s a day and my doctor has arranged residential therapy for me.
@Puddycat11385 My clinic I swear is out just for the sole purpose of money and they dont give a crap about us patients. Its in a bad neighborhood and basically no rules are enforced and its a flop house! The dr. is rude and the counsling is a joke with ppl w/no experience in drugs. They show favorism and are a one race ran place. You have to help yourself with no guidance really. I hope more ppl research it more before hoppin on it as a miracle drug it might seem like it at first but beware.ty.
@Puddycat11385 and he sleeps on and off through the nite and has also started havin more depressive days than he used to (he is on paxil for yrs.) but its been about 2mths and he is still feelin crappy. I’m the sole provider and care for my kids so I cant laid down and kick cuz if that was the case i would have never got on this! Im ramblin sorry but methadone is tricky not something for all opiate addicts but yes helps the severe but there should be limits n more help from clinic dr’s.
@Puddycat11385 I mean workers there will tell ya anything they dont wanna lose there job and without u there isnt them! I found a family now to prescribe it to me so its a bit easier for me but Im always worried about something happening like if he goes out of business or just anything happening and im on this hard med to get from dr’s.I think they prescribe it to to many ppl now and not true ppl that need it like heroin NEEDLE addicts not pill poppers like I was. My man just got off of it cont.
@Puddycat11385 I dont wanna have that be my simese twin anymore. It is psychological to a point but it will get ya if u dont have it in a few days. I am and have went down thr-out this program and now its 2 mg a wk. Therapist at my clinic are a job and i might as well be one and i havent had any training! Its a money making legal dope game just like anything else. I didnt know enough when i got one it and i have done TONS of research but I wanna know the real truth how to get this outta yur life
@Puddycat11385 hi thanks for commenting we’ll I have done everything u have mentioned as I have been in this for almost 6 yrs. I am not worried about stigma as I dont even talk to family or have friends right now! i am just sick of the going back n forth to a clinic which is about 20miles there n back from home and I just dont wanna be hooked on something the rest of my life. As you know its so addictive and if u dont have it your screwed. I mean its like insulin and if i wanna sleep in or cont.
@chrissys31 If the methadone is helping u keep away from illegal drugs then why do u want to get off it? is it cause of the stigma that goes with it? is your family pressuring u. Dont believe the garbage u hear, do your own research. I have been on Methadone for 12 yrs, look amazing for my age, am in great shape, I have a good job and no problems at all. I am on a low dose of 40mils and thats enough for me, Im not looking to get high here just to be able to live a normal life and no one knows.
