20 year old addict goin cold turkey

[Ryan_ct]

Ok this is my story, I have been takin oxy's off and on for 3 years buyin off the street. I evetually got hooked but diddnt feel the wd from oc until i took methadone for lik a month straight! 40mg daily for my oc habbit which i didnt feel like i was withdrawing, just mentally needing the drug. So i found a way to get methadone and thats when i made the biggest misstake of my LIFE! When i suddenly stoped or couldnt get the methadone i felt flu like symptoms. Then for about a year I was doing oxy and methadone to cure my wd;s I decided to quit on 9/11?05 and did for 3 weeks it was terrible. Everyday i felt like jumping out of my skin. I did get somewhat relieve after 3 weeks cold turkey but didnt have the strength or courage to go any longer and felt guilty after using again. I hate feeling the hot and cold flashes, the runs, runny noose, ect. Can anyone plz give me any advice aboutsuccessfully goingthru methadone wd's or other drug wd's tell me anything on methadone addiction and the duration of it. Even if you never got clean still would like to heare from somebody I need Help!

hey, ryan,

r u on any meds now? or going thru full w/d?.. even coming off oxy's and just taking meth, i had some w/d not bad but alot of depression, i think it's the high not getten by the meth but that went away in a month.

what mg meth r or where taking? i was on 15 mg day but sometimes more.

just to tell u all this will go away, just think what u were like before any nac's and that is what u will be like after your fight thru the w/d.. and just when the phys part is over (no sleep, creepy craws) u have the mind game to fight, but u have to dig in and remember what it was like to be free from them.. good luck and stay stong. it's worth it, i will tell u a thousand times it is worth it

Thx county.....I went to a doc before i went ct for 3 weeks and he gave me valium for the depression and insomnia. I was doing 40mg but would fluctuate maby taken 20mgs ir 10mgs a day just so i can feel normal. Its just the fact that i went 3 weeks and worrying that ill have the same ****** wd's or worse is hell for me. I appreciate your support and will continue ct i was on day 5 but took a 30mg roxicet and next day here i am I figure if i went three weeks and can really stop this and say to myself "I do not want to be in that postition again from day one". I would really like to quit before my sister comes to visit me on christmas so if i stop now hopefully my wd;s will be gone and ill have energy to spend time with her and have good conversation which i struggle to do so when im not on the pill.

hey , i look at it this way, going back to the narc's my make u feel good (energy,happy etc.) for a few hours at a time, but u r always chasing it down, when u get close to running out. i remember i was must happy soon after a got my script filled no worrys in the world, but in 2 weeks i would start the game, "let's see if i take only 1 pill and wait to 10pm to take anouther i could make them last." not, never happend. u always think about getting off them when u r out or close to it. i think of it this way , would u what to quit if u could open a room door and c boxs and boxs of oxy's? i made the choice to to close that door and walk away, u must make it 2

"you will feel better, 3 weeks was a start, now u have to step over the line and head to finish line, there will be alot of people in your life that love you waiting on the other side of it and the one person you will see there that has been waiting for you to cross over, IS YOU!!!

Is there anybody out there that went through methadone wds cold turkey successfully?? I am doing that right now and on day 3. I feel like i wanna die it is the worst experience ever! Will somebody who has gone through this horrific course give me the support and what it takes to get my normal life back. I was addicted to oc and took methadone ...buying each off the streets and months after takin methadone i stopped suddenly and feelin the worst flu symtoms possible! I was an oc addict for about 2 years but not really consider myself to be an oc addict since i didnt feel the physical w/d's. Never get yourself into methadone it is the worst drug to kick guys!
