I’ve been on Methadone for a month now and I went on it for Heroin addiction. It is working well as far as I’m not sick or craving. It is hard on my body though. I’ve had 3 periods since I’ve been on it in one month and I’m always very regular. I would like to go on suboxone but I heard you have to be going through withdrawl before going on it. I hear Suboxone isn’t quite as harsh as Methadone and not so bad detoxing off of when you are ready. How many days would I have to go without taking my Methadone to try it? Are there meds. that would help the withdrawl in the meantime? Has suboxone worked for you or the person you know that’s tried it? I also take Xanax which is prescribed and I heard that it is dangerous to take withi Suboxone but I heard the same thing about Methadone and so far, I’ve been okay except for ‘nodding off’ a bit especially around bedtime. Any info. appreciaited.
