hello all. i am new here. i am addicted to norco or vic. es. i take about 40 a day now. i finally said enough is enough. i am going to a place called meditox tommorow. has anyone heard of it and if so what do you think? it is an out-patient program that uses buprenorphine to kill withdrawl symptoms.

No i havent heard of it. How did it go?

Number-
I've not heard of it, but wanted to wish you much luck in your recovery. It won't be easy, and you are going to have to fight like "you-know-what" to get over this, but you have taken that most important first step.

Best wishes! Welcome to the community and know that you can always come here and seek understanding, information and support.

Good Luck! :angel:

hello all. ok so i just got home from meditox and i feel great. no withdraw symptoms at all. no fatigue, no anxiety, no runny nose, no restless legs NOTHING. i feel great. besides the subutex that they prescribe they also send you home with a "care package of meds to take just in case you need them for symptoms. this program is a little pricey, but well worth it so far. i encourage everyone to at least look into it. take care and good luck to all of you.

Great news, and I hope it continues for you! I have so much respect for any program that gives you hope, allows you to go home every day with your dignity, and it actually works. I have even more respect for you who has taken the step to get well. Let us all know how your progress goes. We all read and post the scary stuff, but it helps so much to hear back from those who succeed. Please do your best and stay the course. One day you will beat it and move forward. You will. Hopefully all of this one day will just be a bad memory while you enjoy other things in your life. We all know the best day would be waking up without thinking of these drugs and feeling pretty good. That's a dream for many of us. Keep posting if you can.

Sorry..one more thing. What does the "care package" consist of? That's what many of us need to be successful. Knowing what a successful program gives you for symptoms would be a great help. Again, good luck to you!

they give you all kinds of things "just in case you need them." like 800mg ibuprofen, a couple of nasuea meds, ambien, anxiety meds and the most important part is they are THERE for you 24hrs a day.

Number,
I am sending wishes for a speedy recovery for you. It's good to hear that you have access to them 24 hours a day. I think it crucial to have that support system whether its a recovery program or family and friends or both.

You've made the right choice, and soon you will look back on all of this and know you made the right choice.

Keep up the good work!

thats why they only give me a certain amount and taper me off of them over the 6 week program.
