Switching to suboxone from methadone how rough is it?
Just looking for a little quick advice about my switch from Methadone to Suboxone from anyone that has been through the same thing or any experience with it. Have been on methadone for the past year at 30mg then weened down to 5mg and took my last dose last monday. The earliest I could get in to see the suboxone doctor was wednesday, tomorrow. So i had to wait about 8 days. I have been using opanas this week to get by and i got a suboxone saturday to use. I know I have to be in withdrawals at my appointment but i got an Opana 40 this morning and just finished it off. My appt is at 1 45 so that gives me about 18 hours do you think I will be alright and they will go me my Suboxone? Also I have only used Suboxone a handful of times so not too familiar with it's effects over long time usage? I know it helps with the cravings but do you also have the buzz from other pain killers so you have no desire to use whatsoever? I'm 21 year old male and was using oxys for about 2 years anywhere from 80 a couple hundred miligrams a day. Then i got introduced to opanas about a year ago and was doing 1 2 opana 40mg pills a day so on average 60 80mg. This is the same time i started on methadone also so i was doing methadone and opana daily. Switching from using oxys to methadone and opana together has really up my tolerance which im sure is obvious. Just any insightful info about the transition from methadone to suboxone and what to expect would be much appreciated? also what dose do you think i'll be started on? FYI im currently prescribed 40mg of adderall instant release a day for a little more background info.Keep your judgmental comments and any jack advice to yourself about how i'm a junkie or ruining my life with opiates please. Heard it all before. Thanks in advance for all your help

Is there an easy way to come off methadone?
I have been on methadone for over three years now. When I started taking it no one really explained to me that it would be hard to come off of. I started to detox three milegrams a week. I went from 100 to 40 and then stopped coming down because I was starting to crave drugs again. I haven't went down anymore in over two months now. I want to start again but I've been told that it's going to make me really sick for a long time no matter how slow I go. I really want off this stuff. It cost me $435 a month. Plus I'm tired of needing a chemical just to feel like a normal human being. I can't always come up with the money to dose and on the days I miss I feel pretty crappy. Is there anything out there that can help with the physical withdraws? I don't want to be on methadone for the rest of my life and I know I can't just stop taking it. I don't want to be sick.

Am I going to withdrawal from methadone if i have only taken it for 7 days?
I have been using heroin off and on for 2 years but recently i have been using regularly for about the last 4 months. I tried to quit cold turkey from heroin a couple weeks ago but with my mind state at that time i could not get through it. 7 days ago I started a 21 day methadone treatment but the more i have researched I have found that methadone is almost as bad. I do not want to be on anything or just substitute heroin for methadone. I told the doctor that i wanted to stop and to detox me off. I started at 60 mg and every 2 days went down 5 mg. So today I was supposed to be taking 45 mg of methadone. After talking with the doctor I decided to rapidly detox by taking 20 mg today instead of 45mg and i am taking 10 mg tomorrow then i will be off. My question is am I going to have as bad of withdrawals as heroin or will i even withdraw at all because It has been 7 days so the heroin is out of my system and I have only taken 7 days of methadone so I don't think I can become dependent that fast on methadone. If someone could answer my question that would be great and if I am in for a horrible withdrawal like from heroin does anyone have any tips?I am sorry if you got the wrong impression from what I said. I know methadone helps a lot of people to stay clean and to be able to go to work and live without using or hurting. In that scence i have nothing against methadone. As far as what I am trying to accomplish is to not be on any substance what so ever. Methadone though may help a lot of people is not good for your health and there are many restrictions that go along with it. Also the longer one is on methadone the more dependant one gets and will be harder to get off in the long run. I have been told by all the people in the clinic as well as the doctor that no matter what i am going to withdrawal either at the end or if i stop now. I would rather get it over with now before my semester of school starts and get on with my life.

Is it okay to take two methadone pills if I'm 15?
i have sleep issues. I either take 2 Oxycodone, or 1 methadone before I go to bed to make me tired enough to sleep my dad started giving me them about a year ago, and now if I don't take it, I stay up all night and go into withdraw.. About 4 hours ago I took a methadone pill, and I haven't even felt tired since then, so i just took another one. My dad told me never to take two or I may die. Will I be okay?I understand what my dad was doing is wrong, but, I'm not lying here, he got slightly brain damaged on a ski slope Which is why my parents are divorced and he still has to take a lot of meds.
