I am now down from 100mg of meth. to 90mg. It took me a whole month to get comfortable to 90mg. so I'll be on 90mg for another few weeks before I even TRY to go down to 85mg.
My computer is down, so I am borrowing a friends..just keep me in your thoughts
THANKS,
Rachelle from TX

Rachelle,
 
You will be in my thoughts and in my prayers.
You are doing awesome, be gentle and patient with yourself,  you didnt get drug addicted all at once, and you cant expect to be off methadone that quickly either.
Keep in touch, ok??
 Much love Karen

hi rachael, my name is john, i live in england & was on the meth for years, i managed to get of at xmas, and am still clean that statement for the likes of me is a major miracle, you are taking on something that many people wont even bother to do and for that you should be very very proud of yourself!!!!! i did it 2mg evey 2 weeks while i was on a heavy dose the 2mg didnt seem to matter, i started putting in place a plan that i thought would work, this will probably sound like complete madness but it worked for me. when i got to 50mls i took it at 12 o'clock midday the next day at 12:15 the next day 12:30 and so on by the time i was to drop to 48mls i would move back to mid day and kept doing it this way all the way to 30mls, were i swapped to subutex and reduced on them till i was at the end of my script, the rattle was still a task being drug free was a task, everything was a task, as i'd been medicated in one way or another for everyday for 10 years, hang in there let us know if we can be of assistance to you, john

John,
First of all congtratulations for doing something that I've been trying to do for 20 yrs now without suceeding.....yet.  It IS a miricle!  Well, a lot of hard work, and a lot of 'madness', but also still a miricle!
Your idea of taking your med 15 minutes later each day until you went down then back up, is a really good idea.  I'm going to try that when I begin my detox from methadone.  
Thanx for the idea. I love this place.
luv,
sue
PS:  could somebody tell me what 'rattle' means regarding detoxing off drugs?  I've seen this word in some of the posts and I'm just wondering.  thank you~!

hI John, I also live in England and have found that the drug centre i go to is of no help at all. I was on Heroin for 3 ys-10 bags a day, then after countless failed home detox's i was put on methadone. I've done well-i think, I manged to keep my kids from going into care, done various college courses and just finished a degree in university. I still feel i'm no good, my confidence is nxt to nowt. I have recently had the drug worker's tell me they'd lost me in the system, i have cut myself down alone from 60ml to 30 ml but now find it's hard to go down further. I dont get on with subutex at all so thats not an option, please what can i do, i'm getting desperate and so depressed.
 
Take care
 
Susanne

Susanne,
 
Hi again!!
Ive been reading your posts and my heart cries for you.
You sound so lost and alone right now.
GO back and READ what you posted.....
If it was someone else who posted the accomplishements you wrote about you would be praising them, give yourself some credit, ok??
You have made amazing strides..
Try to remember what you have been thru and what you have managed to accomplish so far.
 
Is it possible for you to get therapy with a therapist or a shrink??
I think it might help you to have someone to talk with that will listen and help you with things.
Ive been in therapy weekly for over a year and a half and I would of never made it this far without it.
 
Can i ask you a question??
Why is Subutex not an option???
 
All my love ,Karen
