Methadone Clinics: Methadone Detox Facts

Question: Out of suboxone, might try methadone clinic- any ideas?

(Posted by: xaosneedshelp on 2009-04-17 10:20:08)

Was addicted to all sorts of opiates over the last few years. Switched to suboxone a year ago and have been gradually weening down. I started with 5 now I am down to 3. I have lost so much money from them- so expensive! I had medicaid in Ny and just moved to FLorida. Will be some time before I set up insurance. What can I do now that I have no pills and no way to pay for my script at the pharmacy. What can I take thats cheaper possible or any ideas? If I try methadone clinic, would have to wait until Tuesday for my first dose.

Please don't get on Methadone if Suboxone is working for you! I have been on Methadone for 3 months and I want off! However the tapering process is SLOW! I have gained 35 pounds on Methadone and it makes me SO tired. I could sleep all day. I have been on Suboxone and experienced NO side effects and wish I had gone back on that. Methadone has been a horrible experience for me. BE CAREFUL!!! Please weigh the pros and cons!!!
