I am a patient at a methadone clinic. I was on 120mgs, now down to 32mgs. I was a heroin addict for 5 to 6 years. Got busted, and not long after that....heroin took my best friend, soulmate, and lover. Its been over two years now without him. Anyone else here go to a clinic?
Hey, thats tough to get over someone that close passing away im sure. I used to go to the clinic but quit going about a year ago. I loved methadone, it made me feel like a million bucks but I dont miss all the side effects it gave me. Suboxone is what I take today. It dont give me that warm fuzzy feeling like the done did but im happy on it and staying clean. Good to have you here lulu...... Im sure theirs probably a few doner's around somewhere.
To be totally honest...I feel NOTHING from the methadone now other than constipation hahahaha. I dont get any kind of high or analgesia or euphoria..none of it. I have thought about switching to subs...but Methadone has done me very well. Hopefully within the next year I will be off of it, and within the next six months I want to be on no more than 15mg.
I don't take Methadone, but I do take Suboxone, so I am also on an opioid-maintenance program. That is quite amazing, going down on your dose as much as you did. Congrats. Good to have you in the forum. There are a few other opioid-maintenance people here, some Subs some Methadone.
Lulu that stuff made me constipated as well. I even had to see the doctor cause I couldn't shit. I felt very unhealthy from that. It didn't necessary make me high but I got a glow about me when I took it. I sure as hell new the days I didn't dose, I felt like tatal shit. I loved the glow I got from it but I don't miss that stiff at all subs are my choice today. They don't constipate me like the done did.
