Re: Federal Methadone Regulations

Weird, so many people have said that getting off of methadone is far worse than anything they were on before. I for one did not feel that it was all that difficult to get off of methadone.

Of course now that I look back, i realize that only after a few months of being off of methadone, my pain doctor started me again on the fetynal patch (I think that was the name) and then in 2 more months I was taken off of that, and then put on Oxycontin.

However, I did go off of methadone the same way I think that most people do. I slowly began lowering my dose by 5mg each month. Then my doctor raised that to 10 mg a month, until I was all the way off. Relatively painless I must say.

I mean of course I had some side effects, but it was NOTHING like what I had when I dumped all of my pain meds down the toilet. That was the most miserable I have ever been. Since I had been the one that flushed them, I had really no other option other than living through the hell of going cold turkey.

Oh Goodness, I would not wish that on even my worst enemy. I swear i felt as though i was close to death. I could not have imagined that anybody could survive for too long feeling the way that I did for those 5 LONG days.

Actually, now that I think of it i am slightly annoyed that I was put back on such a strong pain medication such as fetynal, so soon after finally being completly free of all those toxins.

Anyway, sorry that i went a bit off subject there, I just thought it was worth sharing my experience with Methadone withdrawl. Maybe I did not go through everything that others have been through with methadone and the wicked withdrawls it can put you through, because I was going down by only 5mg each month, and then only 10mg each month. I was the one who decided to do it like that, so I am not even sure if this is how it was supposed to be done.
