I started doing drugs 18 years ago as a teenage. Got addicted to meth. Spent my whole life fighting meth addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 4 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, meth, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I would like to know from those who have solved PTSD and anxiety, if they have solved it definitively and how to understand what quantity of psilocybin to take and when, for how long. And can you really heal without having an addiction? Thanks to everyone for helping me understand, I want to understand if it's something that can help me solve the problem (I have c-ptsd)
From my experience it really works excellently! It doesnt even need to be a full hit. With potent shrooms 2-3 small ones will still make a clear difference. It will be a few hour cosy rumbling moment around rest time, but afterwards its just calm and you feel amazing and gain your freedom. Psilocybin is different dudes, its the only "treatment" I would recommend to someone who genuinely wants to get better. There is no addiction, withdrawal, or negative side effects. It's just pure healing., far more effective than any anti-depressant. You can thank me later
I watch these ever so often to remind myself what I went through. Been off methadone for two years now. Only 6% of methadone patients get clean and stay clean. 94% stay at the clinic forever 😔
That’s amazing! Congratulations. I want to be done so badly. I have gone from 150mg to 22mg and this last drop has been the hardest. I do not want to become part of the 94%! I’m glad you got out. Again, Congratulations!!!
@@juliabundy7416 wondering where you’re at now and how it’s been? I’m down to 6mg been tapering 2 a month a long time. Been going to clinic 10 years and I’m just ready. It did save my life but I’m excited to move on
@@ericqualley6764 I’m at 17mg. I don’t have a set goal of when I want to get off (maybe I should). But at least I’m down in my teens 🙌 I hung out at 22mg for awhile. That’s amazing that you’re down to 6mg!!! Congratulations!!! I think people forget how big of an accomplishment that is. The people at my clinic are amazing but I am so ready never to go in there again.
Happy are doing lately? I’m so curious about other peoples journeys comparing them to mine. 160-0 and I’m 8 months in. Please lmk and please keep truckin’! Love and blessings my friend!💪🏼✌🏼
Just came from a meeting, and I'm really happy I found you speaking about your experience getting off the shit. Shows it can be done! Stand tall sista! You look great! You should be damn proud of yourself!
*GOOD FOR YOU FOR GETTING OFF* 💫hope your doing ok.💫 Was on Methadone for 9 years and 10 months 100mg was my highest dose. January 20 2019 was my last drink.
Much respect that's wesome. After just coming down from 20 to 170, 10 mg a month. I have so much respect for people who have beating this demon. I'm shocked I didn't think it would be this hard, it's a lot harder then I thought. I didn't think it would be this painful mental & physically. And for someone to stick with it till the end is a lot of work. But I guess it's true what they say nothing in life that is worth having comes easily.
@@holmzcat8493 thank you so much for the nice reply. Iv never been happier! I love my life... The struggles I went through with methadone is worth it in the end. Keep pushing its gonna pay off at some point. Good luck to you. 🙂
Proud of you. Ive been on 115mg for 2.5 years and am doing a 30 day/ 4mg a day detox soon. Methadone is hard to kick but it's a true badge of courage if you can.
How are things going for you? I've been in the clinic for 13 years now and am down to 27 mgs now. I'm doing ok until 6-7pm. I end up in bed around 8:30 and am wide awake at 4:30am.
I found your videos when I was absolutely desperate. Almost 6months off that pain medication now and I want to thank you personally for helping me God bless you 🙏🤗🌻❤️
Thank you for making this video Angie. I’m making my way down from 55mg dropping 5mg every two weeks and at 25mg I’ll make my way over to Suboxone. Apparently it’s easier to come off. I’m sure you know the feeling of coming off these drugs is near impossible when you’re in the middle of it. Although, you have now given me hope. Thank you.
Rick will you let me know how well switching over to the Suboxone at 25 mg worked out for you? I’m about to start my taper and would love to get as much perspective as I can. TY Kurt
@@paco6513 it was easy dude. I went about 36 hours from my last dose of methadone before I had 16mg of suboxone. There was no issues at all. Basically as soon as you start feeling physical withdrawals you can have your first dose of Suboxone. I’ve since worked my way down to 4mg of suboxone and looking to come off all opiates in about 6 months. I highly recommend making the switch. Suboxone doesn’t make me anywhere near as constipated as methadone did. I also used to get a really flaky dry scalp from methadone which has also subsided plus I seem to have much more clarity on suboxone.
I was on Methadone for 15 years. I was so sick of it. It took me 2 years, going down slowly. 5 at first, then 3, then 2. It’s been 2 years now. When I got to 5, I just stopped & was very fortunate to not have a lot of withdrawals. Although I never went higher than 94. Being in the right mind definitely is the key to being successful. You have to really want to be sober!
Hello Angie - Wow... what a mountain you've climbed already to get free from the addiction, I have nothing but admiration for your progress. I don't know you from any of the rest of these people on here, but know you're in my thoughts and prayers. I promise you that for every ONE pathetic and childish comment you get from some of these people, there are truly THOUSANDS of us supporting and pulling for you. Strangely, there was your video in the middle of fishing videos that I was watching (??) ... and because I lost my very very best friend to an addiction very similar to yours in 2014, and because I miss her so much everyday, I chose to watch your video. Please Angie, reach deep and find your core strength to continue the fight to beat this .... As so many of us do, I believe in You!
Hey I've been on for almost 3 years, started at 100 MG, started going down 5 then going down three, or two, every four to 8 weeks. I'm at 34 right now. But I just want off. I can't believe you withdrawaled off 6mg, I am terrified to get off. But I am trying. I just wish I could go off daily. I've been sober off heroin since the beginning of my methadone. Two years 6 months clean. It's so expensive, BUT IT HAS SAVED MY LIFE!!! So anyone reading this who is wanting to start methadone, absolutely don't go past like 80mg, it will just be harder to get off. Don't abuse the program like I did. I started to feel better at about 70 MG.... But was dumb and lied to get to 100. I was doing a gram and a half a day. I thank God everyday for being sober. When you were on did you have a lot of jot sweats or just feel hot all the time??
I know I’m commenting on a 6yr old video, but I wanted to share that methadone detox can suck, but when I went from 25mg to 1mg(I saved up my monthly take homes. I would take a small sip of 25mg and dump the rest in a empty water bottle). Right now as of 7/24/2022 I have a water bottle with over 500 mg of methadone. Since beginning of June 2022 I take a small small sip and that’s my dose. I just let the methadone hit my lips and I get the little taste. I know this isn’t smart, but I’m ready to get off this shot. Been 10 years of methadone and all the money spent could’ve gone to my degree. Going from 25mg to barely 1mg here we are at end of July amd I have had the runs for over a month now. I’m not trying to be gross, I’ve had this and I can’t eat, I was weighing almost 300lbs, and now I’m at 254lbs. When September 2022 gets here I will update again and give y’all a 100% testimony of my methadone stoppage issues.
Keep God 1st young lady. I lost my Dad, Step Mom, and cousin to heroin in the last 2 years. That pain of the losses would have killed me if I didn't trust in God to get me through it. Praying for you!
Good work. Many of the symptoms of withdrawal will be amplified if you are around too many non-native electromagnetic fields. Airplane mode your phone, turn off wifi, avoid fluorescent lighting especially.
EMF Minimalist : I give you a standing ovation. To fight and fight without going to xanax is great because benzo is hard to kick when you try to get off. I've been off street drugs & methadone for 27 years until I got older...I'm 62 and have rheumatoid arthritis, sciatic nerve pain etc. I got addicted to Norco for 7 yrs so went to get off through methadone. I'm desperate and don't want to die from the pills messing up my organs. I'm on a low dose so until they find out why I'm going through a physical problem right now and in pain I'm going to be on it for a few months then I'll get off methadone like I did 27 yrs ago. I didn't go through withdrawal with God's glorious mercy & love.
Oh my gosh !i am so so glad u are posting tgis...i to have been on it for 7 yrs.. amd i too amd just tired of havein to wear a bridle so to speak... i mean if i decide i want to load up my horses and dogs and head out for a week camping or if ive got a job outa town for a few day or he k month i HATE bein the firat thing on my mind is what about my meds.... im just tired of it.. I really would love to share with u and ask some more questions. Again.when i saw u was doing this i broke down ..funny how we can get emotional over things i mean i knew it was on my heart to do this and been wanting to but VERY worried( ill exsplain that in more detail later ) but i was shocked how hard it hit me when i was watchin this... thank . U again for sharein this
Thank you for putting your experience out here. I imagine it was hard to do but it really does help others in the same situation, like me. I have been on methadone for over 13 years now. I've been on it for pain management. I started at 120mgs a day (x12 10mg pills a day) I just really wanted off of it because I hate being dependent on something and methadone was starting to affect my teeth, as it commonly does, so I decided to take myself down. I did what you did as far as lowering the doses. I got from 120mgs a day down to just 10mgs a day. I have been on the 10mgs a day for a few years now. I hear the last part is the worst part. Going down 110mgs was such hard work, u lived in my room, I barely got any sleep because my bones were so irritated and I couldn't even stay still long enough to fall asleep. I was told that methadone gets into your bones and that's why you get such a deep ache and irritation in your bones during withdrawals. I really respect you for going through all that. I have renal cancer, stage 3 endometriosis, adenomyosis, advanced disc degeneration disease in my lower spine, arthritis in my lower spine and arthritis in both of my knees, and now have just been diagnosed with a brain tumor. So I am staying at 10mgs a day because even if I went all the way off, I would obviously still need something for my pain and I don't want to get off just to have to take something else for cancer etc pain. I still have been contemplating making that jump from 10mgs to zero mgs though. But thank you so much for your videos. They're very helpful and inspiring. I hope you're doing well now.
Katarina I am so sorry to hear that you have All these afflictions I will pray 🙏 for you I don't know if you believe in Jesus or God. I don't know if you are spiritual or anything but I will keep you in my thoughts and we need to encourage each other because no one knows what it's like to go through this. Feel free to reach out to me if you want to chat.
Methadone detox is so much harder than heroin detox... I have been struggling with this for a long time and I put a comment earlier… How are you able to work like this? That is my problem. If I had two months Where I didn’t have to work and I could just get off this crap… And I had enough money to not work for two months… I think that’s the only way I could do it… For me it’s two months of hell and I can’t work… I Can’t take care of my son ..I can’t take care of myself even ..I can’t do anything… Sometimes I think I’m just gonna be on this forever... which would not be the end of the world...Such a catch 22 because it helps me tremendously. I have no cravings and I can live a normal life. I just hate being on this because I feel like it’s numbing me to the world… I know it is… But I guess it’s worth my sobriety if that’s what it takes for me to be clean... you’re doing a great job and it just amazes me with people like you who can do this
I don’t say addiction is much of a disease... but the withdrawal are no joke I’ve been through it.There is a light at the end of the tunnel sometimes that’s tunnel is just longer for others. This also goes to show that everyone struggles with addiction, lady you are beautiful and I’m sure no one ever expected it from you... not trying to hurt feelings but it’s no always dead beats and homeless people that are struggling. Instead of talking down on people like some of these comments cheer them on cause it very well could be you. Those comments and people are the reason America has no drive anymore or guidance on things. Stay positive 👏🙌
Thanks for sharing ma. And for being honest. I just walked away at 35mg last week. I used for a day and then took suboxone. Today is day 5. I did end up taking like a whole strip and then a quarter more before bed. Still didnt sleep much. But I wasnt really sick, just restless. I only have a pocket full of strips. Im too scared to get a script cuz it seems like people get stuck on that too. Im just so tired of always having something in my system. I want to be totally drug free. Anyway, I wish you all the love in the world girl. You can do this
good luck I'm on 130 now .but detoxed from 190 years ago.i don't care what anyone says I was felling shifty for about a month straight. keep hydrated and blood pressure and Valium takes the anxiety down but most of all pray and God will help you get through it.god bless you
I can’t believe how good you look day 6! You look beautiful honestly! And I just want some one that has done it and been off it. Idk anyone that has got off it and stayed off it! You inspire me! Ur a beautiful soul!!!
I used to take a ton of norcos and lot of methadone. Got clean for 2 years cold turkey. Been back on oxi and methadone again. On day 6 right now and it's the furthest I've made it since those 2 years expired
I have been on methadone for pain (I am not a drug abuser) for 10 years. I was on 80 mg once a day and it helped with the pain but I dont think anyone should be on methadone long term for pain. Because of methadone I had 3 heart attacks. I asked my pain management doctor to help me come off so since Thanksgiving 2018 I tapered 5 mg every two weeks. I took my last methadone last Tuesday. I am on day 5 off methadone. I am doing better than I did when someone stole my meds and I went cold Turkey for a week and I ended up in the hospital. That was the worst. I would rather feel the pain of my disease than to ever go thru that again. I will never understand why anyone would ever want to abuse any drug much less methadone. It's awful. Anyway like I said, I am ok day 5 without. I am feeling heavy and sluggish but I am not have the cold sweats and the restless arms and legs are getting better. I have been sneezing my brains out which is another side effect. I feel ok but uncomfortable if that's makes sense? Lol. I am hoping i will feel better by tomorrow. I have to work.
Methadone is prescribed in Australia in tablet form as a treatment for Chronic Pain, so thanks for your video. It's hard for everyone to stop methadone regardless of why u started it in the first place 👍
Thank you for putting this video up. I know it's been years. But it helps to hear someone else explain whats coming. I've been on 210mg for 18 years. And I started going down 10mg a month. And no I'm down to 170mg. I maybe I'm a big baby but holy shit this is hard as hell. My hatred for Methadone must be strong to keep going down every month & being the worst kind of sick. I've had 2 back surgeries a good 20 yrs ago. But the pain now is times 10. I do think the mental is worst by far. But even through all of that hellish garbage I feel like my eyes are slowly being opened. The world looks so much different with feelings :) The road ahead seems never ending
@@paragonmarcoux7170 DMT is what changed my life. Viewed the world in a different way & was able to let go of issues I had. After that experience I started eating right & lost a lot of weight & even quit smoking. And made me want to get off of methadone. Amazing what a breakthrough can do. I wish I knew where to get ibogaine. Heard many stories about getting people off opiods. And what plug?
+adam hossman So what are you doing here Adam? You said you have no experience with opiate addiction, but alcohol withdrawal made you wanna die... How much were you drinking?
Agreed,some of the comments you would think they had never seen a woman before and get all exited when she replies back lol.....oh and Angela can you do a third video on a nudist beach please :)
94981745 An addict is an addict. You're putting yourself on a pedistal now because you did dope instead of alcohol detox, which I've heard is worse. I don't see your point.
honeymclean I know , man. Its sad as hell. Give her a positive comment relating to the struggle or share advice about your story. Anything but saying you wanna bang low key. Fucking idiots. Your sarcasm is funny though.
Jesus loves you so much. he knows everything that you went through herd your cries but your free and beautiful. I could you rep me because I see your cross. God bless you Marie
I am have been coming down 2 or 3 ml a week from 85 i am now at 72 i no its not much but a start. i am going slow annd steady . but ill do it . thanks to people like your self for showing the way . it helps alot . hope you keep going .as your doing good . take care
im doing 5 mil reduction from 80 . im down to 50 and its breaking my back . I pnce done full cold Turkey in prison , ftom 90 mil . The nazis gave me nothing. it was 3 months of hell .
Brad J unfortunately this women is permanently tainted with how many men she has slept with to get her drugs, black guys you name it she did it that’s a guarantee, the dope she was on she would do anything to get it
Yessss that serequil restless leg syndrome. Most people haven’t experienced that but I definitely have. My doctor thought I was making it up or that it was in my head.😂 Withdrawing sucks, but there are so many people here that have gotten threw it and are living better today. To the sick person watching this video, you got this!
oh my god!!! i will never in my entire life forget the feeling… the WORST experience in my entire life!!!!! gives me the chills even thinking about it ugh!
@@l3namarie760 when did the physical withdrawal start to get better. I was at 120 then down to 80 then down 5 mg per week until I got to 5 mg and then quit cold turkey from 5 mg. I am day 9 clean from methadone and I’m still dying. I have all the exact symptoms and the restlessness is in my arms and legs and I can’t sleep at all. 9 hard days and I am praying to god for this to stop. I can control the mind stuff but I cannot with the physical shit. I been wanting to give up but I keep pushing 😫😫 pls help
@@DeserayKatherine how did it go? Day 10 or 11 here, losing track of time just so deep in it. And trying to take care of my son at the same time, feeling like an utter failure - he's still smiling I guess that's all that matters, I would truly hate for them to last much longer....
Feel like blowing my brains out. 90 days out from when I started tapering and i cannot take not sleeping and that feeling of having to move or writhe. KILL ME!
I didn’t know that you posted this in 2015 until I read the description but I sincerely hope you made a recovery as I’ve been through hell on that shit.i wished you would have mentioned the town where you are at.just wondering ! !
don't take subutex or suboxone until at least 24 hours have past since last bit of heroin and even longer after methodone as it makes you feel even worse even more so if used meth for long time , how long have you been dependent on opiates ?
Rachel Gonzalez That is NOT true. The only thing that will cause withdrawal besides Narcan is Suboxone or Subutex (buprenorphine.) Unless you have or had some type of license in medicine or pharmacy you shouldn't be telling ppl things about medications that may be incorrect.
paul barnett ..yes i totally agree...you can take mdone on subs but if youve been doin other way..wait 24 hours or eat a littlt bit at a time...you will be trippin for and hour...
Do you still check this video? I would love to talk to someone who can relate, I feel like I have 101 questions. . I did send a message on FB since I was unsure if this page was still being used.
I haven't started detoxing yet.. but I'm freaking out. I never get past the first 3 days of insomnia, chills and sweats. Ugh. Definitely coming back to this video over and over for support.
Angela Mirando I hope you made it... I'm 1 year 2 weeks off methadone. I saw your video a year ago. Detoxing was slow and steady....still had some issues , restless leg, agitation, etc. I'm never looking back . Don't miss it AT ALL. So happy to have that monkey off my back! GOOD LUCK TO YOU! HAPPY NEW YEAR!😊
500, 000 views ! Holy sizzle lol. Respect. U have only like 8 videos... but almost 800k views! So many addicts .. sad.. but its life for me.. methadone off n on for like 20 years.. ivd been dedicated, 3 years now, quit smoking, alcohol, cigs, math, coke, heroin, pills ( only take klonopin prescribed , at 2mg a day for past 6 years or so) , and am a legal, medical cannabis patient & personal production license holder , allows me to grow 4 mature plants at a time! So , in my honest opinion, methadone clinic can be a godsend, if u are serious about your health in comparison to 20 years of using and being hooked on almost every drug n drink ! It helps me to be a wah better person, live a 'clean' life..
Took a MONTH before I could sleep AT ALL. I was thrown off the clinic on a 5 day detox because I couldn't pay. AND I was only on 21mg. It was utter hell I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
Xanax do help just don't abuse them or even weed can help A LOT! . When I got off... I was getting take homes so if I felt crazy I would take a small sip. I jumped from 2mg so I had a lot of take home to jump with. It's going to be hell but it's all mind over matter. Just make urself as comfortable as u can & let it pass. I've now been off methadone for 7 years. I can honestly say I don't think I could have done it if I didn't take a few xanax & puffs of weed during the process. Good luck!
I've come off methadone twice. Last time was in July. So nearly 6mths and still don't sleep. Still have restless legs when I'm trying to sleep. But those first 6 weeks. My god. Absolute torture.
You really have to boss up to get off methadone ... It has been the worst pain I can ever remember. Restless leg and arm ... Little to no sleep. Having liquid diahrea for months! Plus all your senses are heightened because you have been sedated for years . I cannot stand how things smell anymore! I'm also having migranes, my left kidney is hurting ( I'm very concerned about this) I became 400 pounds while on methadone, I've already lost 80 lbs. I am going to the gym now .... The other thing is that I have zero energy or motivation. It's a huge struggle. But I'm almost at the 1 month mark. I'm very optimistic about the future!!!
I'm on 10 mg now, and the withdrawals have definitely begun. I go to 5 mg on Wednesday and then that's IT. part of me is tempted just to jump from 10 because I just wanna start to process of getting past that first week after stopping. I just wanna be DONE. CONGRATULATIONS to you. I hope all is well
i stand by suboxone. it has been amazing how much it helped me. i dont have the space to get into everything i was pumping into my body but it was enough to kill one or two normal people and i kept jobs doing it being that functional on all that substance. my second month in the program all my brain cells seemed to start sparking back up and i started my first successful business. 4 years in and im still 100% clean and alcohol free in the maintenance suboxone program. im working on openning my 4th seperate company and even started a half dozen still running small businesses for other people. so not only did it help me but a handfull of others have their own companies since i put that first strip under my tounge.
I'm with you just spent about 9 days in jail for an old warrant 6 years ago misdemeanor nothing big traffic been on methadone for 9 years recovering from major pill addiction heroin you name it got cut loose this is only my Eighth Day I'm not going back I hate Methadone in jail I seen guys that were shooting a gram a day or more come in detox 3 days later be moved to a different section and happy oh not on methadone took 4 days and I still felt fine I'm feeling horrible at the moment but I'm not going back methadone is just another sentence peace and love everyone
On methadone for 15 years 180 milligrams a day. I quit cold turkey even quit smoking cigarettes same day. My withdrawals lasted a year. Cannabis is a blessing. I take absolutely zero pills or drugs now. Been clean for 3 years. I'm also paralyzed so life was extra rough during that time. Had to man up. Happy I did.
Ben Tipton I quit cold turkey or rapid detox any way one week 70-10 now what I’m freaking out now A YEAR !!?? I’m vlogging my process I can’t find ANYTHING ON cold turkey
Ben Tipton well your a miracle because pot don't work for withdrawals the only thing that works for withdrawal is opiates but that's awesome it worked for you cause it didn't for me
Actually ive been jogging 2 miles a day during my methadone jump. Hes right it helps your body start make endorphins and speeding up the time it takes to feel better. Its worth it in the end. I will say i tapered to 1.5mg so it isnt like i had 200mg or any crazy shit like that.
I'm 33 HOURS. ..dropped yesterday from a very slow taper ...1 mg... down from 300mg @day. ..ridiculous. . The shear JOOOOOYYYYY of cutting that NASTY chain from around my neck is going to carry me. The worst part was from 60mg down to 10mg... The key to success is SLOW and STEADY. ..mixed with a BOAT LOAD of determination and anger...ANGRY about what this CRAP stole from me! I wish anyone luck...just keep your eye on the PRIZE.... : )
Jennifer Colaizzi 300 a day, Girl, I ain't trying to throw shade at you at all, but Daaamn that's a whole lotta methadone. What dose did they start you at when you walked into the clinic you were on? My final question, what was the total amount of time you were on methadone? I'm hoping and praying that you've won your battle, not just with methadone but with addiction too. Huge FatAssed props for 9 throwin your hat in the ring, coming off of methadone. Please take care of yourself. Do something good for yourself , you deserve it.
This is the realest and most informative video I e seen anyone post. Thank you for sharing your experience, just to show others on Methadone that it IS possible to taper off. Some people I know have been on it like 10 years and are afraid to taper at all. Don’t mind all the pervos on here this video is showing how brave you are, I truly commend you!!!!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏻👍🏻👎🏼😺
Not that anyone cares, but all the dudes on here saying they want to "tax that ass" or anything else like that, you're really disrespectful. Not sure if you are aware of the struggle of heroin addiction let alone rehabilitation but people, more so women, put themselves through hell and back. They deserve respect and no longer need to be spoken too or about in that manner. Yes she is beautiful, she is also strong and encouraging to others. Please be considerate and seriously think before you speak up. Stop being offensive it makes you look dumb.
Wow you people disgust me. She's on here trying to help people and let them know that anyone can have these problems and that there's hope and y'all just worried about how good she looks. I've been off methadone for 15 days. I went to rehab had a valium taper and then a suboxone taper. Thought I was good to go home, then bam still felt methadone withdrawls plus suboxone withdrawls. I've been in bed for the past 3 days trying my best to do anything else then just laying there. I can't even eat so I'm drinking ensure shakes like an old man. This shit ain't a joke. I turn 21 in about 16 days so I'm trying my best to persevere but its the hardest shit I've ever gone through in my life. Thank you for your videos it gives me more hope than you know.
@@jennifercleland4852 hey jus so you know GOD doesn't answer prayers just whenever u ask 4somthn, he knows what's best an whats in the best interest 4the person an everyone around..i use to think if i asked GOD to pay my rent an he didn't then maybe there wasnt ah god, or he wasnt listening to me!. But i learned tha maybe instead of payn my rent he might help me find a better job,or maybe find a cheaper apartment,or give me the common sence to figure it out some other way!!. Point is answer to prayer isnt always when or how we want or think it will be..I hope an pray your friend is doing better now, an you are doin good as well
Hi Angie! I "was" a slave to that shit once apon a time. It's been 5 years 2 days ago! It wasn't easy and I tried&failed several times prior to the last. I think the difference for me the last time was that I got very pissed when I realised this shit was owning me&my life and had been for years. I "DECIDED" I am going kick this shits ass if it kills me! And I did and I'm here to tell everyone you "CAN" also,if you want it bad enough! I knew I needed a battle plan once I knew I meant business. Mine was 2 weeks of detox&sleep,water,diet ext. Smoked ganga as much as possible during that time to ease the withdraws,it works! During your withdraws "MOVE" as much as possible, clean,cook,walk,whatever,stretch, move! I found good upbeat music a must! Focus only on laughter & commedy&positive thoughts,ONLY! VERY KEY HERE! Then after 2 weeks I got a gym membership and in no time was feeling better&stronger than ever! I had that shit on the ropes and knew it! 12 years of slavery and missery simply because I believed the lie that shit was stronger than me! I DID IT AND SO CAN ALL OF YOU! My sincere prayer and wish is that you too find your strength and overcome. Peace!
Michael Dennis your approach sounds almost exactly the same as how I stopped using opiates as well. I think rehab centers should be more open to allow patients to smoke marijuana as it does help a lot and to me marijuana is my anti-drug. If you're heavy into it you will need the first 2 weeks to basically do nothing that requires any type of responsibility or public interaction because it's a nightmare. But once I started going to the gym and exercising I started feeling better immediately. Once you're like 3 months clean you think back to how you were before and it seems like it was a whole different person and a different life. But as long as you're ready and you're making the choice for yourself and not just for others it is very possible. And definitely definitely do not hang around anybody that is still using ever.
+Patrice Nagel Dang why so mean buddy? I was just sharing what worked for me man! I'm not condemning you or anyone else! Yea Methadone can be beneficial for some. But in my experience it was a nightmare! I know sooo many people that died from it,and many more still enslaved to it! And for your information cannabis has only been demonizes over the past 60 years or so. Before that it was known for thousands of years as natures "MEDICINE". Well,I am sorry you feel the way you do! I pray you'll lighten up,Peace!
Bravo young lady! My wife was on it for 6 years and when we met it was a stuggle for her to kick it.....so I took us away from all the temptation and moved us away.....God is good! He lined everything out and we have been married going on 13 years and have 2 beautiful sons and a house with 40 acres......God is with you stay strong!
Patrice Nagel I Love You and so does The Creator.....Love is His name.....Karma is acknowledged as you reap what you sow.....No matter the hate you have, Love prevails in my household.....I will pray that the same happens in yours.....May His Light shine bright through your life and cast the darkness into the abyss and His will be done, in Jesus Holy name I pray AMEN
Patrice Nagel I forced nothing just as God forces no one to follow Him.....she had a choice to follow as well as I......I don't know why you think wishing addiction on her children is karma, if you hate me so much, if you feel for her maybe slow down and see how peaceful her life is, now free from bondage, of addiction and pain.....I would love for her to talk to you......my wife, my love, mother of the two most beautiful sons, I am hers and she is mine, she is me and I am her, she runs the house with elegance and her own business with an unwavering determination, she instructs our sons to do good with charity, peace, love and to show hope to those without, she also has a green thumb to make life flourish where there was none, on our farm she has made a desolate land fruitful, my God is her God and he reigns justly over our house.....let my wife speak for herself, not with words as you and I but, with her action..... she is the virtuous woman
Well, sober for 1 year, forced-detoxing methadone right now, when I'm done, I would love 40 acres for my kids. Where can I go where that's affordable? I'm packing my bags now.
One thing you must do when trying to kick that shit and when you do kick that shit is to stay away from anyone still dabbling if y ou dont it will find you again even if it's friends family or mate just leave them behind its up to you to decide what you want. Do the program stay positive be with people that help you
Great advice! Every person i knew who rehabed and went back to be around the same area, people etc. Failed. If you really want to quit, then prepare to make some life changes in addition to cleaning up. True support from friends/ family will follow you to a good place. Just as cleaning up from the drugs, you must clean ALL bad influences as well. Just a bit of advice and good luck with your endeavor!
Jon Alarcon Well no shit hahaha what's crazy, is that this is totally common knowledge. Every..single..person..who has ever had a problem knows this and yet...maybe....mayyyybe....25% of them actually do it. I kicked three years ago, moved out of my place with room mate's and deactivated all of my social media accounts. I got serious and I haven't had a problem since, I have not seen anyone I used to know in three years, haven't talked to them, and never gave anyone a reason. Best decision I have ever made, I KNOW they are all talking shit and spreading rumors all over Facebook hahaha but who fucking cares. Sure, it was hard at the start, you can't control your emotions and always wondering what people are saying about you but that passes with time. You will be the better for it, you do not NEED friends to survive, in fact...you should try living without friends and being comfortable with yourself, in your own skin, and happy with who you are. You do not need the approval of others to live happily. I also KNOW that I am good, no problems, clean, and happy!
Jon Alarcon that is some very good advice. I have been sober since 2001 . Never did heroin. But have I lost some really good friends because of heroin I'm alcoholic so i do know how if feels to be living with addiction . I have no regrets since I have been sober . Today life is good
I can't believe how rude ppl are when you are sharing this.I going threw this shot now I am on 120 mg.I have been on suboxone then back on Methadone cause I had blood clots in my lungs.I went on this cause I was on a large amount of Vicodin in my past.Like 20 a day.I know, I know stupid.But it was get on Methadone or go to jail. sooner or later to keep my habit up.So I guess I have to just pray every day.Thank you for your story.
Thanks for sharing. I was on methadone for 10 years. 130mgs. The last 2 years I tapered 2mg every 2 weeks. I've been off it a little over 3 weeks. The 1st 6 days off I didn't sleep a week. No cravings or stomach issues. But severe body aches, rls, insomnia n anxiety. Along with shaking, hot m cold flashes n sweating bad through my hands n feet. Feels like I have major nerve damage. When I close my eyes to sleep I get white flashes almost like lightning. After being awake for the 1st 6 days, I got about 1/2 hour of sleep. Since then I only get about 1 to 2 hours if I'm lucky. The symptoms have lessened a little, but are still there, almost 4 weeks later. My eyes hurt from not sleeping, they burn n itch. N when I wake up from the hour or 2 of sleep, my body is sore n I almost feel like a I have a major hangover from alcohol. It takes about an hour from when I wake up to even be able to move without feeling like falling over. I was also recommended benzos but like you, I don't want that. I have no self control n I've had bad experiences with benzo withdrawal including seizures. I just want to be free of all narcotic substances. I don't know how long this will last, but I feel the depression starting to kick in. Just tired of this. Using hasn't been on my mind at all. I haven't been around that toxic environment in so long I can't see myself going anywhere near that. Plus the drugs aren't the same. I started with the real oxycontins early 2000s n started using heroin about a year or so before I got on methadone maintenance. Dope ain't dope anymore, even the xanax are pressed pills n have fentanyl in them. Last time I did heroin was early 2011 ish. Fentanyl was just starting to creep in the Philadelphia area. N they discontinued oxycontin like late 2000s. I hope you're doing well n curious to how long the symptoms lasted for. Since mine haven't improved in almost 3weeks, I know this will be a long process. But in my mind, I have no other option but to ride this out. Thanks again for sharing..
@@FitzSchlitz I'm getting there. I can sleep when I work. But I'm only working pt time. Monday Wednesday n Friday. My boss knows my backstory so he's working with me. Which is great. But when I'm off I still have a really hard time sleeping, like 2 to 3 hours max. Still emotionally n mentally weak, but improving. Very minimal n slow but improving. My spirit is starting to feel better as well. Ty for asking. Hope all is well with you. I'll update in another month
I've been on methadone a little over two years. I was at 100 and now at 90. I'm still just so grateful that I'm not sick every other day. I hate being a slave. I hate thinking my addiction defines me. it surly enslaves me.
It's better than scraping and hustling and lying and all the other things tied to the alternatives. But They don't call it liquid handcuffs for no reason. I was on 80 for about 5-6 years. Was dropped to 5 in a month. After a few days off, a doctor put me on subs. 2 mg. It was a miracle. Until he raised me up up up to 12-16. Then I cut myself down to 8 ( for a long time) then recently without even conciously doing g it I just took less and less until I realized I was down to 4. Then cutting that down to 3-4, then 3, then 2-3 etc..Now at between 1-3. Someday just 1. Taken in half mg pieces 2 times a day.
tallblonde1976 if you want to come off methadone, for me anyway, its best to taper down to 20-30 mgs of methadone, wait a day or two until you are in slight withdrawal, and then make the switch to subutex. I did this successfully a year ago and the transition was suprisingly very smooth. I then tapered off the subutex. But to successfully taper off any of these medications, you have to do it at your own pace, on your own time. If you are passing your UA's and doing what you are supposed to, you can do it. Alot of the horror stories we hear are from people who couldn't go at their own pace, or had a deadline for when they had to be completely off of it. If you are able to come down very slowly, on your own time, its very doable.
Kaleb Davis that's exactly what I'm about to do in the new year-I was on 120mil around 10yrs ago now I've got it down to 30mil and planning to switch to subs-was it really so smooth a transition though? I'm not too proud to admit I'm nervous as hell about it especially having to go a day or so with nothing, I've not done that in over a decade Edit-also well done you for getting clean mate, hope you keep it up
Teethgrinder 83 if u could help it - try to taper off methadone without subs. That’s what I’m trying to do. U have to wait so long to even take subs after ur last dose of methadone , that’ it’s kind of ridiculous. IMO though.
It can take months to come out your system, which is why it’s best to be tapered off real slow. Sleeping tablets help soo much. ( non addictive or addictive as it’s better to get away from what’s killing you and deal with sleeping tablets later on ).
+Angela Mirando I've tried tapering down 3 times....the lowest I went was 11mg per day! Now I'm at 90mg per day :( I've asked the Dr. Recently what's the % of peoples that actually get off of this stuff and he said 5%) I've pretty much came to terms with myself that I'm gonna be on this the rest of my life... What sucks the worst is what I've lost,no sex drive,I used to model,now I can really go at certain places cause I have to be near my clinic every Tuesday(that's when I pick up for the week) I've always wanted to move to a warmer climate(esp California but this is holding me back) It's holding me back on allot of things! Congrats on your sobriety!!!!! The mistake that I made was joining the methadone clinic cause I had a pill addiction....Not Heroin! Never touch the stuff! Pills I've been able to get off of them twice before! But methadone....For me....Is almost impossible to get off of. And what hurts is seeing my family go through this. I keep forgetting.I sleep 15 hours a day:(
Anxiety is the worst part of detoxing of any drugs! Im am a recovering addict 16 yrs almost and my drug of choice was heroin! I was using for about 6-7 yrs and then got on methadone which helped me stop the heroin BUT its just trading one drug for another! I used because I have severe social anxiety and when I was high I felt so confident and felt no worries at all and the methadone helped with that at first also but after years of being on it it stopped working as far as my anxiety and depression goes so I decided to detox! A successful detox takes at least two years and that's doing it very slow,like 2 mg a week and I was fine until I got to 60 mg.I was on 95mg but all the sudden it hit me and I felt like I was withdrawling from heroin but 100× worse and its because when you've been on methadone for years like you and I the methadone stores up in our fat cells and our muscles and anywhere else it can do it takes a few weeks to start feeling the symptoms! My counselor told me only about 20% of people on methadone actually complete a detox but I'm not too sure how accurate that number is but I'm not surprised! If I could rewind time I'd go back and tell myself to NEVER EVER GET ON METHADONE and to just stick it out for about a week of heroin withdrawal rather than months and months of methadone withdrawal! I've gotten clean off heroin cold turkey quite a few times but it sucks soooooo bad! People don't fully understand what its like for addicts! When we decide to try a drug we have no idea how bad it will get,we don't choose to be addicts! Anyway I hope you got through it girl and I hope your doing good!
im down to 45 and i go down 10 a week- the dosing nurse keeps asking are u sure u want to go down that much again? its so dumb because when i was going up by 30 mgs- they NEVER questioned me! i went all the way to 180 n i was so sedated i could barely stay awake. if i sat down- on the nod id go. im gettn off this shit because i WANT to!!! im done im ready... 2 years of this shit besides the 17 years of addiction is enuff! im DONE! n i ve been wondering how far down is enuff before i just say fuck it.... im hoping to b done n about a month. good luck everyone n remeber even if u physically feel like shit- most of its all n yer head! keep busy, stay strong.
Your so much stronger than I was coming off years of Methadone and Suboxone. I have been C&S for over 18 months and life is pretty amazing. Are you in program as well? Congrats on the 9 months, that's badass.
this is terrifying! I've been going to the methadone clinic for about 5 years. I went up to 80 mg. I've been decreasing by 5mg. I've been at 35mg for about 4 weeks now. my goal is to get off this stuff. but watching this video I'm discouraged
+Angela Mirando thank you for that. I shouldn't have used the word discouraged. It was more of a eye opener. It just blew my mind that you had all the withdrawals coming off the 6mg. I can definitely say I now know what to expect. I can relate to your story. I feel like I've just been going through the motions of life and not really living it. I feel so numb to my feelings and who I truly am. I'm so ready to be done with methadone and live a sober life. I am beyond excited about the future... Thank you for the videos.
+Angela Mirando i am on 15 ml of methadone. i want to quid but i am so scared. i did cold turky before then i go bk to heroin nw just methadone 15 ml soooo scared
+Austin Rose Hey girl, I feel ya 100%. This week I am/was planning on coming off of my Methadone that I've been on for 2 years now (Through the Methadone clinic) and I've gotten down to 15mg now. Do any of you have advice in regards to going off Methadone 'Cold Turkey'? I am extremely nervous and scared to do this but I am more than ready to, I don't wanna be dependent on the Methadone any more. Thank you for getting back to me
I remember getting electric shocks when I was detoxing in my mouth, I was trying to eat some apple crumble , first thing in many days , I went into weird shocks like you !!
This video is from awhile back, actually not sure how I ended up here lol I just saw it in the references area while watching a G.G. Allin video. Anyways, hope all is better these days and clean. Happy New year.
Ik this is made a loopong time ago but I've been on methadone 150 mg for 7yrs. My husband just passed away & ì am about to start my journey of trying to taper down & get off it. If u have any advice or tips I'd love 2 talk 2 u. Thanks
I recommend you hit up this legit plug they're very reliable ship to any location they got heroin dmt,lsd,spores,microdose and other psychedelic stuffs
Paul Reyes shame to these dudes who think they got a clue. To these dudes that think their opinion and experience are the only ones that matter,and the only truth to life. To these dudes who speak before educating themselves. To the shitty fucking dudes with big ass egos for no reason, and the entitlement that goes with it. We are all fucking humans, not one better than the other, and all with thoughts, feelings, and experiences of our very own. So in this situation and every other, if you don't have a clue, then you don't get to have an opinion. Especially an opinion about another person's life. There is only understanding, or plain ignorance. You can choose to educate yourself before you open your mouth and spit shit that has no relevancy at all.
kri sta 🤘 couldn't have said it better myself. Wish some ppl knew the difference in smack and LEGAL detox. This video is about a woman who has been taking medication that has been prescribed to her for 7 years, its hardly smack.... it would be a more well student comment if it was directed towards the government and their corrupt ways but we won't go there cuz I'm just generalizing and this guy's a dumbass
My story with the clinic is like yours. I abused it. Now in my life after my cold turkey from methadone 13 years ago. My quit dose was 45mg so it sucked. I am very proud of you and when its all out you can feel again. Sex returns in a wonderful way. After I quit it topk a year or so to recover because cold turkey any way you do it is gonna peel you like an onion anyways. You are doing this the smart way. So glad you made it and are enjoying your life experiences. Dont look behind cause a tear that never dries can only make you blind. Godspeed to you and yours
i love that saying. thank you so much for your beautiful words :) this video was so many years ago now but I will never forget those withdrawals! congratulations 13 years ago! not too many of us out there it’s good to hear . hope you are doing amazing
So it’s not just me.. I have absolutely no sex at all and go can months without it so it is true it takes ur sex temptations away??? Lmk cuz my hubby says I use to be a horn dog I’m o my 38 been on methadone since I was 29 and I h have no sex drive whatsoever
Hey Lena Marie Idk if ur fully off methadone yet but I was on 180 for 8 years and I started to ween myself down I would take little sips every time I felt like I needed it...I would get take home bottles for the week bcuz I did what I was supposed to do I was clean the whole time I was on methadone and now its been 14 years clean and sober but as I was going through the process of getting off I finally got down to 1 bottle a week...then I started to ween myself off that!!! Now I was doing this without the clinics knowledge so I was still getting my bottles now I don't wanna say what I was doing with the extras but lets just say I had them for back up just in case...but when I got down to a really low dose and some days I wasn't taking it at all and the withdrawal was agony...now I had a Dr that would give me whatever I wanted so he gave me 0.2 mgs of clonidine and I was on klonopin for my panic attacks from my psych now I figured out that if I took 2 clonidine and 2 1 mgs of klonopin before bed it helped tremendously and even in the day if u took just a couple of clonidine to make the pain subside it works and if u still have trouble at night sleeping I would take an Ambien...now I just took this until I started to feel better and it took about a month for my body aches to go away so I stopped with the clonidine but your gonna have trouble sleeping for about 6 months up to maybe a year to feel 100% I've always been on klonopin bcuz of my panic disorder but u don't have to stay on that u can take that for about a month without becoming addicted and if u can get Ambien it does help with the sleep...I'll always b on klonopin bc I have severe panic disorder but I've been clean now for 14 years and the clonidine and klonopin and ambien helped...do not take Sereoquel I was on that and it does contribute to the restless leg syndrome and also makes u gain alot of weight so I was like nah I'm good lol...but if ur still struggling try what I did and c if it helps bc it did wonders for me I'm living proof 14 years clean and have no desire to use!!! May God b with u and help u through ur journey I'll b praying for u!!! Do an update video and let us know how ur doing!!! God Bless!!!
Well done you are amazing I remember kicking straight up 120mg methadone ages ago with absolutely Fuck all it almost killed me then and I was 26 I'm 38 and have had alot of relapse in my life but will never go back to methadone. You are an inspiration
GILMOUR KEIRS Thats great. Everyone has there owm individual way of battling this horrible disease. But point being thats great and positive thoughts to you and you tried and succeded !
And addiction is not a disease. Its a choice they made themselves when sticking needles in thier arms or smoking that shit. They did it to themselves. Its not a disease. Its a crutch. Far more people deserve pity, than this spoiled stripper.
@@vellramontano8783 i went from 90 mg to 3 in 2019 i get COVID 19 and i go up to 50 mg ,right now i am in 19 mg ready to tape out after more then 18 years.if You go down 1 mg every 2 weeks or SO You Will be o right. One advice don't take nothing to help whit the whitdraws cuz You Will prolong the whitdraws ok.good luck to You.
@@RL82387 I started a slow workout and eating better. I only drink water nothing else. I’ve lost a ton of weight that I put on since starting methadone too. Can I ask how long you were on methadone for? It’s been 10 years for me. Thanks so much for the encouragement! I really needed that. I’m so sick of anything that can make me feel foggy. I’m so ready to be done with this. I’m ready for all of my senses to come back.
Chasity Allen Hahahaha so what happened to not being on here for TWO MONTHS??? LOL dumbass drug addicted losers like yourself have zero recollection of time. 😂😂😂😂
Arthur Red .... Who are you? Obviously, a narrow minded, hatefilled, judgmental, ill-spirited "troll"..... WTF ur deal!!? She's sharing her testimony to help other's who don't quite have the strength, mind frame or knowledge one needs, too stop living in denial, putting in the proper motion's necessary, to make a change and stop the insanity in order too take back her life from the demons that tried to steal her soul which stems from addiction. God has a different plan for lions amoung sheep; she has the love it takes for oneselves, to work threw the struggle's and at time's vulnerabilities that is accompanied with addiction! I would say you got some nerve, but hiding behind a screen, trolling the shit you type, doesn't equate that. Lol, I'd enjoy being present, while you stand man to man and talk the shit-red neck trash, you post behind a computer screen. Just from skimming that garbage that you have translated within her message dissusion's, its obvious you just clicked on her thumbnail randomly bc shes pretty and you and "Palm-ELLA" were trying to rub one off.........as you listen to her voice, the aggression from blue balls started to seep in; after hearing her story.....your reminded of that ex girlfriend from the past who really gave you a run for your money, by selling her soul to the devil for drugs doing GOD knows what, that stained your narrow-minded brain, with the words "drugs" and "addiction"...bc shes too occupied turning tricks to get her dope fix; and left you high an dry with kids.. This logic seems about right... maybe try watching this video again and soak in what strength, stay focused and being determined to change looks like.
I was on 100mg of methadone for 2 years when I decided I was ready to get off of it. So in this third year I’ve been tapering slowly and it’s been really difficult. But I’m now down to 47MG from 100mg and I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I’m determined to get off of this and put this all behind me. Seeing this video and reading all the comments from people who have been successful at getting off of methadone gives me so much hope!!!
I recommend you hit up this legit plug they're very reliable ship to any location they got heroin dmt,lsd,spores,microdose and other psychedelic stuffs
We are similar animals. I’ve been at 85 mg for two years and I am ready to start tapering down as well. Should you get this message, I hope it finds you well. Would also love to exchange a few messages with you. I’d love to get some perspective and tips on what I hope is a successful taper and quit. Much love, Courtney! Kurt
I'm in the same boat, I'm only at 63 right now tho. I was going down by 5 MG but idk if I was just pyching myself out or if the withdrawal symptoms were real, sure felt real anyways... but I went down to 3mg every 2 weeks and that's a bit more manageable for me right now. I just can't afford it. I spend 750-800 a month including my gas to and from the clinic daily. I only make maybe 1500 on a good month, and it takes half my check. I'm couch hopping right now and had to let my vehicle go back, I still have my job but that's the only thing I have now.. I wish we had Uber, lyft, or even a taxi in my area, but I'm in rural Alabama. I had been clean from heroin, meth, and alcohol for 5 years and then I tried those stupid zazas and tianas and ended up taking 2-4 24 count bottles daily and was taking out payday loans and everything else to buy them after I had worked so hard to get my credit to a high 500 after my last time in addiction. So here I am back at square one, addicted to methadone to get off tianeptine. These videos have been so helpful, my parents said they'd let me stay with them but I had to quit methadone and have a job, I just don't think I'll be able to work while withdrawing after the videos and comments I've read honestly, maybe if I can get myself in a better head space I'll give it a try..
+manny gomez you need to go back to school and learn how to speak and spell correctly. what are you trying to say. or if your just slow I'm sorry not trying to make fun if you if you can't do proper grammar
Seroquil made me very suicidal. The depression from withdrawal was multiplied so much that I attempted suicide twice. It didn’t help that I didn’t sleep a wink the whole time. Eventually I gave up trying cold turkey, and tried slowly dropping down my dose. Now I am terrified of getting completely off methadone. It’s a cruel, evil, demanding mistress. I hate her. But I’m terrified of leaving her. Terrified.
Johnathon Rose yeah it's one of those anti psychotic so it does very different things for different people. For me, Seroquel turns my brain off 30 mins after I take it. I have these weird mini panic attacks when trying to go to sleep (dwelling on life, finances, etc). This literally turns my brain off and puts me out cold.
You should also try Kratom. Some pretty good results from what I have heard as far as weaning off of opiates (not sure about heroin, tbh....I took it to kick Oxy). Worked like a charm. Allowed my body to keep that "high", all while ridding my body of the withdrawal causing chemicals. After about 3 months, I just stopped taking it. No withdrawals from Kratom (although I have heard of some mild withdrawals like loss of appetite and sleeplessness, but usually lasting no more than a day or two). Try the Maeng Da. Highest opiate feeling. Green Malay will last longer and give you a ton of energy as well. Red Bali will make you sleep. And all of it is natural and non addictive.
Gentry Harms Now this sounds intriguing/ interesting. Can you explain more about the stuff you took to get off the oxy. Where to find the stuff you speak of. 👍 Thanks.
michael simard sure man. I get mine from a shop near me called Herbstomp. Awesome group of folks. You can get a kilo of the raw herbs (it's like a powder...fair warning it tastes like ass) for anywhere from 125 to 200 (obviously you can get less at a time). Careful, as some states have already outlawed it. Make sure to check. The DEA was set to schedule Kratom 2 years ago but were deterred from it by senators and veterans (lots use it for pain). You can look into the different strains, as there are a ton, online. I used Green Malay. It lasted longest and gave that nice body high, but also gave me a ton of energy. Do some research though. I have yet to hear anyone claim to have withdrawals with few exceptions, and I k ow of a ton of people who have switched from harder stuff to this and succeeded. Good luck to you, bro. Just ask more questions if you have them!
Methadone was the only way I could survive, no other program or doctor ever helped me, but when I assumed responsibility for my life and dedicated myself to a sustainable program that worked for me, I thrived. 20 years later and on a low to moderate dose, I have no regrets. I read some of these comments that lack compassion, and come from a place of straight ego, and I laugh because they will never appreciate life and the simple things like recovering addicts do. Even with 3 herniated discs in my back I still plan on coming off but it’s been a long journey. Let’s assume responsibility for our lives, even if the doctors who took advantage and/or helped perpetuate the opioid epidemic, won’t assume responsibility for their actions.
11 yrs and counting.... I HATE the methadone program. In my opinion it's just legal drug dealing. Not addicted to pills anymore but now I'm addicted to methadone. To me that's a much worse addiction.
saved my life, and I know of at least 2 others. You are indeed addicted to another drug, but that drug is controlled tightly, and being in the program for over 8 years was too long, I should have tapper off much sooner. Despite that, the fact that I was only taking that one medicine, one time a day, from a medical facility vs dealing and chasing to feed my usage as I did before, I stopped getting into legal trouble, I was able to develop MUCH better relationships with my family and friends that I kept, was able or in some cases just had to cut ties to old friends that were not working to maintain, but my point is, even without attending meetings and what not, just the breaking of those incredible self destructive habits via having the guide lines I had to at first comply with, but later found I just wanted to comply with, from the program itself was ... really life saving. It isn't for everyone, and its no magic bullet, but the real benefits from the Methadone Maintenance Treatment in my opinion are just ... all the life changes it allowed and required me to make, that developed into habits. Detoxing from methadone is no joke, taper down and just be ready i'm in the middle of detoxing from it now, but it does have a real value in our society.
A methodone habit is extremly worse than a pill habit from experience the methodone program is satan trap to keep people from ever getting clean i wish i never got hooked on this shit i rather pop pills than feel extreme shit when i dont have methodone smfh
Wow this was 3 yeasrs ago but I myself am on methadone for 2 yrs and I'm at 120mg and I just want to be at a point where I can start detoxing lil by lil. I want to be where your at now but I know I need to work at it. Thanks for sharing your story.
It's so hard I'm on 86 mls of dome if I don't have it my body hurts and my head starts to get flashbacks of my past and I know I will go back to using the gear if I don't have it. Ppl don't realise the pain ppl have been through and just put you down only if some had been through the shit I'd been through they would maybe have a little compassion
People act like it's soo hard to get off. It's not!! If u do it right!! First off don't start out with a high dose just enough to keep u good til the next dose. I was on it for two years I never went above 70mg. I detoxed 1 milligram a week and after I got to one milligram doctor prescribed a few different meds like muscle relaxers and what not. I only took a quarter of what they prescribed or I'd be out for two days. I had no withdrawal what so ever was really easy. I was mentally ready. Most people that try to get off think there ready but really aren't. Don't let people fool you. It's not hard to get off if you do it RIGHT!!!!
Once i was stable I cut back 1 milligram every 2 weeks from 80, then when I got down to an amount I couldn't measure, I used the eye dropper. I used 3 drops just before bed for 2 weeks, and then 2 drops for 2 weeks, and the 1 drop for 2 weeks, and then nothing. The first night without my 1 drop I slept a good 7 hours no toss n and turning or electric legs. It worked for me. It's very important that you are "stable" on your dose and KNOW what that means before you attempt to reduce your amount. I'm 38 and have been opiate free for 7 years. Cutting back gradually is the key, 1 milligram every 2 weeks. This reduction method doesn't work well if you double dose once in awhile if you're going to continue to want to get high you're not stable on your dose. It took us years to get the way we are it's going to take years to properly cut back and reduce to nothing if you want to do it without withdrawals.
Gary rodriguez Hey Gary I'm Jeremy, I cut back a milligram at a time every two weeks, the clinic I went to had a machine that dispensed out very presicely measured amounts of liquid methadone so I was able to go down 1 mg at a time and I think in doing it that way it helped me not have to go through any withdrawal symptoms and I breezed right on by 10 mg and got down to 1mg doing it that way.
Gary rodriguez Good luck Brutha 👍 I am onpage with you here. With the support at hand make it your priority to get rid of the meds you dislike and know there are others doing the same as you. Best wishes and I hope you get done and clean as fast as you can. 💪🏼👊😎
how do you go now, a few years after making this video? Ignore my question, I just watched your latest video. Good luck with your study, I'm also studying nursing and I came across this video while searching for some information about methadone withdrawal.. You will be great as a nurse, I wouldn't be surprised if you use some of your past experiences as an advantage. All the best
I started doing drugs 18 years ago as a teenage. Got addicted to meth. Spent my whole life fighting meth addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 4 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, meth, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
I would like to know from those who have solved PTSD and anxiety, if they have solved it definitively and how to understand what quantity of psilocybin to take and when, for how long. And can you really heal without having an addiction?
Thanks to everyone for helping me understand, I want to understand if it's
something that can help me solve the problem (I have c-ptsd)
From my experience it really works excellently! It doesnt even need to be a full hit. With potent shrooms 2-3 small ones will still make a clear difference. It will be a few hour cosy rumbling moment around rest time, but afterwards its just calm and you feel amazing and gain your freedom. Psilocybin is different dudes, its the only "treatment" I would recommend to someone who genuinely wants to get better. There is no addiction, withdrawal, or negative side effects. It's just pure healing., far more effective than any anti-depressant. You can thank me later
I watch these ever so often to remind myself what I went through. Been off methadone for two years now. Only 6% of methadone patients get clean and stay clean. 94% stay at the clinic forever 😔
That’s amazing! Congratulations. I want to be done so badly. I have gone from 150mg to 22mg and this last drop has been the hardest. I do not want to become part of the 94%! I’m glad you got out. Again, Congratulations!!!
@@juliabundy7416 you can do it if your mind is made up
Methadone saved my life but I’m not being that 94%. No way going down 2 mg a week about 6 months left
@@juliabundy7416 wondering where you’re at now and how it’s been? I’m down to 6mg been tapering 2 a month a long time. Been going to clinic 10 years and I’m just ready. It did save my life but I’m excited to move on
@@ericqualley6764 I’m at 17mg. I don’t have a set goal of when I want to get off (maybe I should). But at least I’m down in my teens 🙌 I hung out at 22mg for awhile. That’s amazing that you’re down to 6mg!!! Congratulations!!! I think people forget how big of an accomplishment that is. The people at my clinic are amazing but I am so ready never to go in there again.
I know this is five years old but just saw it and thank u for giving me hope :) I pray your five years free of it all
Happy are doing lately? I’m so curious about other peoples journeys comparing them to mine. 160-0 and I’m 8 months in. Please lmk and please keep truckin’! Love and blessings my friend!💪🏼✌🏼
Just came from a meeting, and I'm really happy I found you speaking about your experience getting off the shit. Shows it can be done! Stand tall sista! You look great! You should be damn proud of yourself!
*GOOD FOR YOU FOR GETTING OFF*
💫hope your doing ok.💫
Was on Methadone for 9 years and 10 months
100mg was my highest dose.
January 20 2019 was my last drink.
Congratulations
Much respect that's wesome. After just coming down from 20 to 170, 10 mg a month. I have so much respect for people who have beating this demon. I'm shocked I didn't think it would be this hard, it's a lot harder then I thought. I didn't think it would be this painful mental & physically. And for someone to stick with it till the end is a lot of work. But I guess it's true what they say nothing in life that is worth having comes easily.
@@holmzcat8493 thank you so much for the nice reply. Iv never been happier! I love my life...
The struggles I went through with methadone is worth it in the end. Keep pushing its gonna pay off at some point. Good luck to you. 🙂
Proud of you. Ive been on 115mg for 2.5 years and am doing a 30 day/ 4mg a day detox soon. Methadone is hard to kick but it's a true badge of courage if you can.
How are things going for you? I've been in the clinic for 13 years now and am down to 27 mgs now. I'm doing ok until 6-7pm. I end up in bed around 8:30 and am wide awake at 4:30am.
I found your videos when I was absolutely desperate. Almost 6months off that pain medication now and I want to thank you personally for helping me God bless you 🙏🤗🌻❤️
4.5 years ago! I am very proud of you! You have come so far...keep moving, be confident, and don't settle for less!!!
Thank you for making this video Angie. I’m making my way down from 55mg dropping 5mg every two weeks and at 25mg I’ll make my way over to Suboxone. Apparently it’s easier to come off. I’m sure you know the feeling of coming off these drugs is near impossible when you’re in the middle of it. Although, you have now given me hope. Thank you.
Rick will you let me know how well switching over to the Suboxone at 25 mg worked out for you? I’m about to start my taper and would love to get as much perspective as I can.
TY
Kurt
@@paco6513 it was easy dude. I went about 36 hours from my last dose of methadone before I had 16mg of suboxone. There was no issues at all. Basically as soon as you start feeling physical withdrawals you can have your first dose of Suboxone. I’ve since worked my way down to 4mg of suboxone and looking to come off all opiates in about 6 months. I highly recommend making the switch. Suboxone doesn’t make me anywhere near as constipated as methadone did. I also used to get a really flaky dry scalp from methadone which has also subsided plus I seem to have much more clarity on suboxone.
I was on Methadone for 15 years. I was so sick of it. It took me 2 years, going down slowly. 5 at first, then 3, then 2. It’s been 2 years now. When I got to 5, I just stopped & was very fortunate to not have a lot of withdrawals. Although I never went higher than 94. Being in the right mind definitely is the key to being successful. You have to really want to be sober!
I'll refer to this reliable doctor he'll guide you properly 🙏
They've got all kinds of psychedelic stuff!

Hello Angie - Wow... what a mountain you've climbed already to get free from the addiction, I have nothing but admiration for your progress. I don't know you from any of the rest of these people on here, but know you're in my thoughts and prayers. I promise you that for every ONE pathetic and childish comment you get from some of these people, there are truly THOUSANDS of us supporting and pulling for you.
Strangely, there was your video in the middle of fishing videos that I was watching (??) ... and because I lost my very very best friend to an addiction very similar to yours in 2014, and because I miss her so much everyday, I chose to watch your video. Please Angie, reach deep and find your core strength to continue the fight to beat this .... As so many of us do, I believe in You!
Hey I've been on for almost 3 years, started at 100 MG, started going down 5 then going down three, or two, every four to 8 weeks. I'm at 34 right now. But I just want off. I can't believe you withdrawaled off 6mg, I am terrified to get off. But I am trying. I just wish I could go off daily. I've been sober off heroin since the beginning of my methadone. Two years 6 months clean. It's so expensive, BUT IT HAS SAVED MY LIFE!!! So anyone reading this who is wanting to start methadone, absolutely don't go past like 80mg, it will just be harder to get off. Don't abuse the program like I did. I started to feel better at about 70 MG.... But was dumb and lied to get to 100. I was doing a gram and a half a day. I thank God everyday for being sober.
When you were on did you have a lot of jot sweats or just feel hot all the time??
Am I the only one that thinks this girl is like ridiculously gorgeous? Congrats getting off the methadone! I'm still working on getting off myself.
I know I’m commenting on a 6yr old video, but I wanted to share that methadone detox can suck, but when I went from 25mg to 1mg(I saved up my monthly take homes. I would take a small sip of 25mg and dump the rest in a empty water bottle). Right now as of 7/24/2022 I have a water bottle with over 500 mg of methadone. Since beginning of June 2022 I take a small small sip and that’s my dose. I just let the methadone hit my lips and I get the little taste. I know this isn’t smart, but I’m ready to get off this shot. Been 10 years of methadone and all the money spent could’ve gone to my degree.
Going from 25mg to barely 1mg here we are at end of July amd I have had the runs for over a month now. I’m not trying to be gross, I’ve had this and I can’t eat, I was weighing almost 300lbs, and now I’m at 254lbs. When September 2022 gets here I will update again and give y’all a 100% testimony of my methadone stoppage issues.
Keep God 1st young lady. I lost my Dad, Step Mom, and cousin to heroin in the last 2 years. That pain of the losses would have killed me if I didn't trust in God to get me through it. Praying for you!
Good work. Many of the symptoms of withdrawal will be amplified if you are around too many non-native electromagnetic fields. Airplane mode your phone, turn off wifi, avoid fluorescent lighting especially.
EMF Minimalist why turn off airplane mode, wi-fi etc?
EMF Minimalist : I give you a standing ovation. To fight and fight without going to xanax is great because benzo is hard to kick when you try to get off. I've been off street drugs & methadone for 27 years until I got older...I'm 62 and have rheumatoid arthritis, sciatic nerve pain etc. I got addicted to Norco for 7 yrs so went to get off through methadone. I'm desperate and don't want to die from the pills messing up my organs. I'm on a low dose so until they find out why I'm going through a physical problem right now and in pain I'm going to be on it for a few months then I'll get off methadone like I did 27 yrs ago. I didn't go through withdrawal with God's glorious mercy & love.
Oh my gosh !i am so so glad u are posting tgis...i to have been on it for 7 yrs.. amd i too amd just tired of havein to wear a bridle so to speak... i mean if i decide i want to load up my horses and dogs and head out for a week camping or if ive got a job outa town for a few day or he k month i HATE bein the firat thing on my mind is what about my meds.... im just tired of it..
I really would love to share with u and ask some more questions. Again.when i saw u was doing this i broke down ..funny how we can get emotional over things i mean i knew it was on my heart to do this and been wanting to but VERY worried( ill exsplain that in more detail later ) but i was shocked how hard it hit me when i was watchin this...
thank . U again for sharein this
Thank you for putting your experience out here. I imagine it was hard to do but it really does help others in the same situation, like me. I have been on methadone for over 13 years now. I've been on it for pain management. I started at 120mgs a day (x12 10mg pills a day) I just really wanted off of it because I hate being dependent on something and methadone was starting to affect my teeth, as it commonly does, so I decided to take myself down. I did what you did as far as lowering the doses. I got from 120mgs a day down to just 10mgs a day. I have been on the 10mgs a day for a few years now. I hear the last part is the worst part. Going down 110mgs was such hard work, u lived in my room, I barely got any sleep because my bones were so irritated and I couldn't even stay still long enough to fall asleep. I was told that methadone gets into your bones and that's why you get such a deep ache and irritation in your bones during withdrawals. I really respect you for going through all that. I have renal cancer, stage 3 endometriosis, adenomyosis, advanced disc degeneration disease in my lower spine, arthritis in my lower spine and arthritis in both of my knees, and now have just been diagnosed with a brain tumor. So I am staying at 10mgs a day because even if I went all the way off, I would obviously still need something for my pain and I don't want to get off just to have to take something else for cancer etc pain. I still have been contemplating making that jump from 10mgs to zero mgs though. But thank you so much for your videos. They're very helpful and inspiring. I hope you're doing well now.
Katarina I am so sorry to hear that you have All these afflictions I will pray 🙏 for you I don't know if you believe in Jesus or God. I don't know if you are spiritual or anything but I will keep you in my thoughts and we need to encourage each other because no one knows what it's like to go through this. Feel free to reach out to me if you want to chat.
Methadone detox is so much harder than heroin detox... I have been struggling with this for a long time and I put a comment earlier… How are you able to work like this? That is my problem. If I had two months Where I didn’t have to work and I could just get off this crap… And I had enough money to not work for two months… I think that’s the only way I could do it… For me it’s two months of hell and I can’t work… I Can’t take care of my son ..I can’t take care of myself even ..I can’t do anything… Sometimes I think I’m just gonna be on this forever... which would not be the end of the world...Such a catch 22 because it helps me tremendously. I have no cravings and I can live a normal life. I just hate being on this because I feel like it’s numbing me to the world… I know it is… But I guess it’s worth my sobriety if that’s what it takes for me to be clean... you’re doing a great job and it just amazes me with people like you who can do this
I don’t say addiction is much of a disease... but the withdrawal are no joke I’ve been through it.There is a light at the end of the tunnel sometimes that’s tunnel is just longer for others. This also goes to show that everyone struggles with addiction, lady you are beautiful and I’m sure no one ever expected it from you... not trying to hurt feelings but it’s no always dead beats and homeless people that are struggling. Instead of talking down on people like some of these comments cheer them on cause it very well could be you. Those comments and people are the reason America has no drive anymore or guidance on things. Stay positive 👏🙌
Thanks for sharing ma. And for being honest. I just walked away at 35mg last week. I used for a day and then took suboxone. Today is day 5. I did end up taking like a whole strip and then a quarter more before bed. Still didnt sleep much. But I wasnt really sick, just restless. I only have a pocket full of strips. Im too scared to get a script cuz it seems like people get stuck on that too. Im just so tired of always having something in my system. I want to be totally drug free. Anyway, I wish you all the love in the world girl. You can do this
Slowly but surely you’ll get there! ❤️
good luck I'm on 130 now .but detoxed from 190 years ago.i don't care what anyone says I was felling shifty for about a month straight. keep hydrated and blood pressure and Valium takes the anxiety down but most of all pray and God will help you get through it.god bless you
I can’t believe how good you look day 6! You look beautiful honestly! And I just want some one that has done it and been off it. Idk anyone that has got off it and stayed off it! You inspire me! Ur a beautiful soul!!!
I used to take a ton of norcos and lot of methadone. Got clean for 2 years cold turkey. Been back on oxi and methadone again. On day 6 right now and it's the furthest I've made it since those 2 years expired
I have been on methadone for pain (I am not a drug abuser) for 10 years. I was on 80 mg once a day and it helped with the pain but I dont think anyone should be on methadone long term for pain. Because of methadone I had 3 heart attacks. I asked my pain management doctor to help me come off so since Thanksgiving 2018 I tapered 5 mg every two weeks. I took my last methadone last Tuesday. I am on day 5 off methadone. I am doing better than I did when someone stole my meds and I went cold Turkey for a week and I ended up in the hospital. That was the worst. I would rather feel the pain of my disease than to ever go thru that again. I will never understand why anyone would ever want to abuse any drug much less methadone. It's awful. Anyway like I said, I am ok day 5 without. I am feeling heavy and sluggish but I am not have the cold sweats and the restless arms and legs are getting better. I have been sneezing my brains out which is another side effect. I feel ok but uncomfortable if that's makes sense? Lol. I am hoping i will feel better by tomorrow. I have to work.
Methadone is prescribed in Australia in tablet form as a treatment for Chronic Pain, so thanks for your video. It's hard for everyone to stop methadone regardless of why u started it in the first place 👍
Thank you for putting this video up. I know it's been years. But it helps to hear someone else explain whats coming. I've been on 210mg for 18 years. And I started going down 10mg a month. And no I'm down to 170mg. I maybe I'm a big baby but holy shit this is hard as hell. My hatred for Methadone must be strong to keep going down every month & being the worst kind of sick. I've had 2 back surgeries a good 20 yrs ago. But the pain now is times 10. I do think the mental is worst by far. But even through all of that hellish garbage I feel like my eyes are slowly being opened. The world looks so much different with feelings :) The road ahead seems never ending

Serequil throws you into withdrawal!!! I took that in jail during my withdrawal!!
Rachel Gonzalez Yea, Suboxone, will too...Quick like!! No fun!
Rachel Gonzalez are u telling me not to take it
don't take subutex or suboxone until at least 24 hours have past since last bit of heroin and even longer after methodone as it makes you feel even worse even more so if used meth for long time , how long have you been dependent on opiates ?
Rachel Gonzalez That is NOT true. The only thing that will cause withdrawal besides Narcan is Suboxone or Subutex (buprenorphine.) Unless you have or had some type of license in medicine or pharmacy you shouldn't be telling ppl things about medications that may be incorrect.
paul barnett ..yes i totally agree...you can take mdone on subs but if youve been doin other way..wait 24 hours or eat a littlt bit at a time...you will be trippin for and hour...
Do you still check this video? I would love to talk to someone who can relate, I feel like I have 101 questions. . I did send a message on FB since I was unsure if this page was still being used.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!😊
Angela Mirando your amazing jesus christ
It's been almost 3 years, I hope this girl is OK.
500, 000 views ! Holy sizzle lol. Respect. U have only like 8 videos... but almost 800k views! So many addicts .. sad.. but its life for me.. methadone off n on for like 20 years.. ivd been dedicated, 3 years now, quit smoking, alcohol, cigs, math, coke, heroin, pills ( only take klonopin prescribed , at 2mg a day for past 6 years or so) , and am a legal, medical cannabis patient & personal production license holder , allows me to grow 4 mature plants at a time! So , in my honest opinion, methadone clinic can be a godsend, if u are serious about your health in comparison to 20 years of using and being hooked on almost every drug n drink ! It helps me to be a wah better person, live a 'clean' life..
It’s wild to think she ever used drugs.. she’s so pretty
Took a MONTH before I could sleep AT ALL. I was thrown off the clinic on a 5 day detox because I couldn't pay. AND I was only on 21mg. It was utter hell I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
Xanax do help just don't abuse them or even weed can help A LOT! .
When I got off... I was getting take homes so if I felt crazy I would take a small sip. I jumped from 2mg so I had a lot of take home to jump with. It's going to be hell but it's all mind over matter. Just make urself as comfortable as u can & let it pass. I've now been off methadone for 7 years. I can honestly say I don't think I could have done it if I didn't take a few xanax & puffs of weed during the process. Good luck!
I've come off methadone twice. Last time was in July. So nearly 6mths and still don't sleep. Still have restless legs when I'm trying to sleep.
But those first 6 weeks. My god. Absolute torture.
You really have to boss up to get off methadone ... It has been the worst pain I can ever remember. Restless leg and arm ... Little to no sleep. Having liquid diahrea for months! Plus all your senses are heightened because you have been sedated for years . I cannot stand how things smell anymore! I'm also having migranes, my left kidney is hurting ( I'm very concerned about this) I became 400 pounds while on methadone, I've already lost 80 lbs. I am going to the gym now .... The other thing is that I have zero energy or motivation. It's a huge struggle. But I'm almost at the 1 month mark. I'm very optimistic about the future!!!
I'm on 10 mg now, and the withdrawals have definitely begun. I go to 5 mg on Wednesday and then that's IT. part of me is tempted just to jump from 10 because I just wanna start to process of getting past that first week after stopping. I just wanna be DONE. CONGRATULATIONS to you. I hope all is well
yes!!! good for you ! you’re almost there!! i got faith that you will be strong,
@@l3namarie760 I'm finally just about through it now ! My energy is still low but everything else is great. I feel alive again. Thanks so much !
It's been almost 3 weeks since I got to 0. I jumped from 10 🙌
i stand by suboxone. it has been amazing how much it helped me. i dont have the space to get into everything i was pumping into my body but it was enough to kill one or two normal people and i kept jobs doing it being that functional on all that substance. my second month in the program all my brain cells seemed to start sparking back up and i started my first successful business. 4 years in and im still 100% clean and alcohol free in the maintenance suboxone program. im working on openning my 4th seperate company and even started a half dozen still running small businesses for other people. so not only did it help me but a handfull of others have their own companies since i put that first strip under my tounge.
I'm with you just spent about 9 days in jail for an old warrant 6 years ago misdemeanor nothing big traffic been on methadone for 9 years recovering from major pill addiction heroin you name it got cut loose this is only my Eighth Day I'm not going back I hate Methadone in jail I seen guys that were shooting a gram a day or more come in detox 3 days later be moved to a different section and happy oh not on methadone took 4 days and I still felt fine I'm feeling horrible at the moment but I'm not going back methadone is just another sentence peace and love everyone
Thanx for the vid as I'm about to start a blind detox I can't help but keep getting anxiety attacks over this.
On methadone for 15 years 180 milligrams a day. I quit cold turkey even quit smoking cigarettes same day. My withdrawals lasted a year. Cannabis is a blessing. I take absolutely zero pills or drugs now. Been clean for 3 years. I'm also paralyzed so life was extra rough during that time. Had to man up. Happy I did.
Ben Tipton A FUCKING YEAR
Ben Tipton I quit cold turkey or rapid detox any way one week 70-10 now what I’m freaking out now A YEAR !!?? I’m vlogging my process I can’t find ANYTHING ON cold turkey
Ben Tipton god bless you sir and congratulations!
How did you do that? Man some people must just be wired different.... I couldnt do that in a million years...
Ben Tipton well your a miracle because pot don't work for withdrawals the only thing that works for withdrawal is opiates but that's awesome it worked for you cause it didn't for me
Get into a workout regimen. Natural endorphins are the way to go.
Actually ive been jogging 2 miles a day during my methadone jump. Hes right it helps your body start make endorphins and speeding up the time it takes to feel better. Its worth it in the end. I will say i tapered to 1.5mg so it isnt like i had 200mg or any crazy shit like that.
@James Robert your right I'm in Suboxone withdrawal only reason I'm here is for the breast
Youre dumb.
The only way I got off of everything.
@@briank1263 I know of people who have been addicted to opiates and used exertion exercises to help with their withdrawal symptoms.
I'm 33 HOURS. ..dropped yesterday from a very slow taper ...1 mg... down from 300mg @day. ..ridiculous. .
The shear JOOOOOYYYYY of cutting that NASTY chain from around my neck is going to carry me. The worst part was from 60mg down to 10mg... The key to success is SLOW and STEADY. ..mixed with a BOAT LOAD of determination and anger...ANGRY about what this CRAP stole from me! I wish anyone luck...just keep your eye on the PRIZE.... : )
Hope all is well much love!!
Jennifer Colaizzi 300 a day, Girl, I ain't trying to throw shade at you at all, but Daaamn that's a whole lotta methadone. What dose did they start you at when you walked into the clinic you were on? My final question, what was the total amount of time you were on methadone?
I'm hoping and praying that you've won your battle, not just with methadone but with addiction too. Huge FatAssed props for 9 throwin your hat in the ring, coming off of methadone. Please take care of
yourself. Do something good for yourself , you deserve it.
EW WHY DID YOU PUT YOUR DOSE UP TO 300MG. .... that is pathetic
BECAUSE I WAS A DRUG ADDICT GOOF :/
SO HAPPY THAT CRAP IS OUTTA MY LIFE! 15 MONTHS....NEVER TOUCHING THAT POISON AGAIN!
This is the realest and most informative video I e seen anyone post. Thank you for sharing your experience, just to show others on Methadone that it IS possible to taper off. Some people I know have been on it like 10 years and are afraid to taper at all. Don’t mind all the pervos on here this video is showing how brave you are, I truly commend you!!!!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏻👍🏻👎🏼😺
Girl from the D yeah taper .. but what about just quitting shit happens FUCK METHADONE
This lady seems very sobre and sensible to me.
This is always the pattern to follow.
I’d like to know how/why she went onto it it in the first place.
Not that anyone cares, but all the dudes on here saying they want to "tax that ass" or anything else like that, you're really disrespectful. Not sure if you are aware of the struggle of heroin addiction let alone rehabilitation but people, more so women, put themselves through hell and back. They deserve respect and no longer need to be spoken too or about in that manner. Yes she is beautiful, she is also strong and encouraging to others. Please be considerate and seriously think before you speak up. Stop being offensive it makes you look dumb.
Wow you people disgust me. She's on here trying to help people and let them know that anyone can have these problems and that there's hope and y'all just worried about how good she looks. I've been off methadone for 15 days. I went to rehab had a valium taper and then a suboxone taper. Thought I was good to go home, then bam still felt methadone withdrawls plus suboxone withdrawls. I've been in bed for the past 3 days trying my best to do anything else then just laying there. I can't even eat so I'm drinking ensure shakes like an old man. This shit ain't a joke. I turn 21 in about 16 days so I'm trying my best to persevere but its the hardest shit I've ever gone through in my life. Thank you for your videos it gives me more hope than you know.
Adrian Chambers it doesn’t help me it scares me that people are this sick off tapers and I didn’t get a taper ...
Yea but ya would fuck no doubt..rehab bitch!
I know ur struggle... Real talk 💯 Prayers 🙏
Adrian Chambers I'm so scared I been on methadone for almost 11yrs I need to get off any suggestions on how to wean how fast how many mgs..... Etc
Adrian Chambers I am so sorry to hear that I went through the same thing and I was praying for the sweet relief of death I wanted to die
so are so strong for following through, the anxiety and insomnia drive me insane, I salute thee for ur strength!!!!!
You got this girl. You are stronger than you think. All things are possible in Jesus name. God bless
the puzzler dude this was from 2015
the puzzler My friend was in methadone withdrawals very badly n her n her whole church prayed for her n it did Not help whatsoever
I think she's Jewish lol
@@jennifercleland4852 hey jus so you know GOD doesn't answer prayers just whenever u ask 4somthn, he knows what's best an whats in the best interest 4the person an everyone around..i use to think if i asked GOD to pay my rent an he didn't then maybe there wasnt ah god, or he wasnt listening to me!. But i learned tha maybe instead of payn my rent he might help me find a better job,or maybe find a cheaper apartment,or give me the common sence to figure it out some other way!!. Point is answer to prayer isnt always when or how we want or think it will be..I hope an pray your friend is doing better now, an you are doin good as well
@@jennifercleland4852 did she get thru it?
Hi Angie! I "was" a slave to that shit once apon a time. It's been 5 years 2 days ago! It wasn't easy and I tried&failed several times prior to the last. I think the difference for me the last time was that I got very pissed when I realised this shit was owning me&my life and had been for years. I "DECIDED" I am going kick this shits ass if it kills me! And I did and I'm here to tell everyone you "CAN" also,if you want it bad enough! I knew I needed a battle plan once I knew I meant business. Mine was 2 weeks of detox&sleep,water,diet ext. Smoked ganga as much as possible during that time to ease the withdraws,it works! During your withdraws "MOVE" as much as possible, clean,cook,walk,whatever,stretch, move! I found good upbeat music a must! Focus only on laughter & commedy&positive thoughts,ONLY! VERY KEY HERE! Then after 2 weeks I got a gym membership and in no time was feeling better&stronger than ever! I had that shit on the ropes and knew it! 12 years of slavery and missery simply because I believed the lie that shit was stronger than me! I DID IT AND SO CAN ALL OF YOU! My sincere prayer and wish is that you too find your strength and overcome. Peace!
Michael Dennis your approach sounds almost exactly the same as how I stopped using opiates as well. I think rehab centers should be more open to allow patients to smoke marijuana as it does help a lot and to me marijuana is my anti-drug. If you're heavy into it you will need the first 2 weeks to basically do nothing that requires any type of responsibility or public interaction because it's a nightmare. But once I started going to the gym and exercising I started feeling better immediately. Once you're like 3 months clean you think back to how you were before and it seems like it was a whole different person and a different life. But as long as you're ready and you're making the choice for yourself and not just for others it is very possible. And definitely definitely do not hang around anybody that is still using ever.
Josh Bell Yeah give you drugs to get off drugs. Thats works out so well!!! 😂😂😂😂
+Patrice Nagel Dang why so mean buddy? I was just sharing what worked for me man! I'm not condemning you or anyone else! Yea Methadone can be beneficial for some. But in my experience it was a nightmare! I know sooo many people that died from it,and many more still enslaved to it! And for your information cannabis has only been demonizes over the past 60 years or so. Before that it was known for thousands of years as natures "MEDICINE". Well,I am sorry you feel the way you do! I pray you'll lighten up,Peace!
Bravo young lady! My wife was on it for 6 years and when we met it was a stuggle for her to kick it.....so I took us away from all the temptation and moved us away.....God is good! He lined everything out and we have been married going on 13 years and have 2 beautiful sons and a house with 40 acres......God is with you stay strong!
Patrice Nagel I Love You and so does The Creator.....Love is His name.....Karma is acknowledged as you reap what you sow.....No matter the hate you have, Love prevails in my household.....I will pray that the same happens in yours.....May His Light shine bright through your life and cast the darkness into the abyss and His will be done, in Jesus Holy name I pray AMEN
johanneswolfgangamedeus FUCK YOU. I BET YOU PUSH YOUR WIFE AROUND. ANYONE WHO WOULD FORCE SOMEONE OFF OF METHADONE ISNT HUMAN
Patrice Nagel I forced nothing just as God forces no one to follow Him.....she had a choice to follow as well as I......I don't know why you think wishing addiction on her children is karma, if you hate me so much, if you feel for her maybe slow down and see how peaceful her life is, now free from bondage, of addiction and pain.....I would love for her to talk to you......my wife, my love, mother of the two most beautiful sons, I am hers and she is mine, she is me and I am her, she runs the house with elegance and her own business with an unwavering determination, she instructs our sons to do good with charity, peace, love and to show hope to those without, she also has a green thumb to make life flourish where there was none, on our farm she has made a desolate land fruitful, my God is her God and he reigns justly over our house.....let my wife speak for herself, not with words as you and I but, with her action..... she is the virtuous woman
and u put up with that? fuk no
Well, sober for 1 year, forced-detoxing methadone right now, when I'm done, I would love 40 acres for my kids. Where can I go where that's affordable? I'm packing my bags now.
One thing you must do when trying to kick that shit and when you do kick that shit is to stay away from anyone still dabbling if y ou dont it will find you again even if it's friends family or mate just leave them behind its up to you to decide what you want. Do the program stay positive be with people that help you
Jon Alarcon
Spot on. I stayed away from where I grew up for 3 years.
Sound advice
Great advice! Every person i knew who rehabed and went back to be around the same area, people etc. Failed. If you really want to quit, then prepare to make some life changes in addition to cleaning up. True support from friends/ family will follow you to a good place. Just as cleaning up from the drugs, you must clean ALL bad influences as well. Just a bit of advice and good luck with your endeavor!
Jon Alarcon
Well no shit hahaha what's crazy, is that this is totally common knowledge. Every..single..person..who has ever had a problem knows this and yet...maybe....mayyyybe....25% of them actually do it.
I kicked three years ago, moved out of my place with room mate's and deactivated all of my social media accounts. I got serious and I haven't had a problem since, I have not seen anyone I used to know in three years, haven't talked to them, and never gave anyone a reason. Best decision I have ever made, I KNOW they are all talking shit and spreading rumors all over Facebook hahaha but who fucking cares. Sure, it was hard at the start, you can't control your emotions and always wondering what people are saying about you but that passes with time. You will be the better for it, you do not NEED friends to survive, in fact...you should try living without friends and being comfortable with yourself, in your own skin, and happy with who you are. You do not need the approval of others to live happily.
I also KNOW that I am good, no problems, clean, and happy!
Jon Alarcon that is some very good advice.
I have been sober since 2001 .
Never did heroin.
But have I lost some really good friends because of heroin
I'm alcoholic so i do know how if feels to be living with addiction .
I have no regrets since I have been sober .
Today life is good
I can't believe how rude ppl are when you are sharing this.I going threw this shot now I am on 120 mg.I have been on suboxone then back on Methadone cause I had blood clots in my lungs.I went on this cause I was on a large amount of Vicodin in my past.Like 20 a day.I know, I know stupid.But it was get on Methadone or go to jail. sooner or later to keep my habit up.So I guess I have to just pray every day.Thank you for your story.
stay strong karla god bless
Amen 🙏
20 vicodin a day ain't shit
Most thing is staying hydrated. Load up on them fluids
It took me about a year to get normal again, but I feel amazing now not dealing with any of that. Hope you do well!
Thanks for sharing. I was on methadone for 10 years. 130mgs. The last 2 years I tapered 2mg every 2 weeks. I've been off it a little over 3 weeks. The 1st 6 days off I didn't sleep a week. No cravings or stomach issues. But severe body aches, rls, insomnia n anxiety. Along with shaking, hot m cold flashes n sweating bad through my hands n feet. Feels like I have major nerve damage. When I close my eyes to sleep I get white flashes almost like lightning. After being awake for the 1st 6 days, I got about 1/2 hour of sleep. Since then I only get about 1 to 2 hours if I'm lucky. The symptoms have lessened a little, but are still there, almost 4 weeks later. My eyes hurt from not sleeping, they burn n itch. N when I wake up from the hour or 2 of sleep, my body is sore n I almost feel like a I have a major hangover from alcohol. It takes about an hour from when I wake up to even be able to move without feeling like falling over. I was also recommended benzos but like you, I don't want that. I have no self control n I've had bad experiences with benzo withdrawal including seizures. I just want to be free of all narcotic substances. I don't know how long this will last, but I feel the depression starting to kick in. Just tired of this. Using hasn't been on my mind at all. I haven't been around that toxic environment in so long I can't see myself going anywhere near that. Plus the drugs aren't the same. I started with the real oxycontins early 2000s n started using heroin about a year or so before I got on methadone maintenance. Dope ain't dope anymore, even the xanax are pressed pills n have fentanyl in them. Last time I did heroin was early 2011 ish. Fentanyl was just starting to creep in the Philadelphia area. N they discontinued oxycontin like late 2000s. I hope you're doing well n curious to how long the symptoms lasted for. Since mine haven't improved in almost 3weeks, I know this will be a long process. But in my mind, I have no other option but to ride this out. Thanks again for sharing..
You got this bud!!💪💪💪💪✌️❤️
You got this bro!!

@@FitzSchlitz I'm getting there. I can sleep when I work. But I'm only working pt time. Monday Wednesday n Friday. My boss knows my backstory so he's working with me. Which is great. But when I'm off I still have a really hard time sleeping, like 2 to 3 hours max. Still emotionally n mentally weak, but improving. Very minimal n slow but improving. My spirit is starting to feel better as well. Ty for asking. Hope all is well with you. I'll update in another month
I've been on methadone a little over two years. I was at 100 and now at 90. I'm still just so grateful that I'm not sick every other day. I hate being a slave. I hate thinking my addiction defines me. it surly enslaves me.
It's better than scraping and hustling and lying and all the other things tied to the alternatives. But They don't call it liquid handcuffs for no reason. I was on 80 for about 5-6 years. Was dropped to 5 in a month. After a few days off, a doctor put me on subs. 2 mg. It was a miracle. Until he raised me up up up to 12-16. Then I cut myself down to 8 ( for a long time) then recently without even conciously doing g it I just took less and less until I realized I was down to 4. Then cutting that down to 3-4, then 3, then 2-3 etc..Now at between 1-3. Someday just 1. Taken in half mg pieces 2 times a day.
You went from methadone to suboxone??
I am curious if it will work for you... is your goal to detox?? Why not detox off methadone? And good luck!
tallblonde1976 if you want to come off methadone, for me anyway, its best to taper down to 20-30 mgs of methadone, wait a day or two until you are in slight withdrawal, and then make the switch to subutex. I did this successfully a year ago and the transition was suprisingly very smooth. I then tapered off the subutex. But to successfully taper off any of these medications, you have to do it at your own pace, on your own time. If you are passing your UA's and doing what you are supposed to, you can do it. Alot of the horror stories we hear are from people who couldn't go at their own pace, or had a deadline for when they had to be completely off of it. If you are able to come down very slowly, on your own time, its very doable.
Kaleb Davis that's exactly what I'm about to do in the new year-I was on 120mil around 10yrs ago now I've got it down to 30mil and planning to switch to subs-was it really so smooth a transition though? I'm not too proud to admit I'm nervous as hell about it especially having to go a day or so with nothing, I've not done that in over a decade
Edit-also well done you for getting clean mate, hope you keep it up
Teethgrinder 83 if u could help it - try to taper off methadone without subs. That’s what I’m trying to do. U have to wait so long to even take subs after ur last dose of methadone , that’ it’s kind of ridiculous. IMO though.
Don’t let all that pain be for nothing. Stay strong and stay sober...
You are such a beautiful person! Such a strong warrior! You go, girl! ❤💫
Jessica Amy Caro Hi Jessica
It can take months to come out your system, which is why it’s best to be tapered off real slow. Sleeping tablets help soo much. ( non addictive or addictive as it’s better to get away from what’s killing you and deal with sleeping tablets later on ).
How do I get off? It's going on 6 years...the lowest dosage was 11mg per day ,I'm now at 75mg per day.... I just want to be happy.
+Angela Mirando I've tried tapering down 3 times....the lowest I went was 11mg per day! Now I'm at 90mg per day :( I've asked the Dr. Recently what's the % of peoples that actually get off of this stuff and he said 5%)
I've pretty much came to terms with myself that I'm gonna be on this the rest of my life...
What sucks the worst is what I've lost,no sex drive,I used to model,now I can really go at certain places cause I have to be near my clinic every Tuesday(that's when I pick up for the week) I've always wanted to move to a warmer climate(esp California but this is holding me back)
It's holding me back on allot of things!
Congrats on your sobriety!!!!!
The mistake that I made was joining the methadone clinic cause I had a pill addiction....Not Heroin! Never touch the stuff! Pills I've been able to get off of them twice before! But methadone....For me....Is almost impossible to get off of. And what hurts is seeing my family go through this.
I keep forgetting.I sleep 15 hours a day:(
Jimmy C how are you doing now jimmy? It’s been three years since your last post. Have you successfully tapered down any?
real methadone pain starts at 5mg
Anxiety is the worst part of detoxing of any drugs! Im am a recovering addict 16 yrs almost and my drug of choice was heroin! I was using for about 6-7 yrs and then got on methadone which helped me stop the heroin BUT its just trading one drug for another! I used because I have severe social anxiety and when I was high I felt so confident and felt no worries at all and the methadone helped with that at first also but after years of being on it it stopped working as far as my anxiety and depression goes so I decided to detox! A successful detox takes at least two years and that's doing it very slow,like 2 mg a week and I was fine until I got to 60 mg.I was on 95mg but all the sudden it hit me and I felt like I was withdrawling from heroin but 100× worse and its because when you've been on methadone for years like you and I the methadone stores up in our fat cells and our muscles and anywhere else it can do it takes a few weeks to start feeling the symptoms! My counselor told me only about 20% of people on methadone actually complete a detox but I'm not too sure how accurate that number is but I'm not surprised! If I could rewind time I'd go back and tell myself to NEVER EVER GET ON METHADONE and to just stick it out for about a week of heroin withdrawal rather than months and months of methadone withdrawal! I've gotten clean off heroin cold turkey quite a few times but it sucks soooooo bad! People don't fully understand what its like for addicts! When we decide to try a drug we have no idea how bad it will get,we don't choose to be addicts! Anyway I hope you got through it girl and I hope your doing good!
All those,things work the opposite when your detoxing. No no Xanax at all
i quit at 3 ml its been 4 days i feel crappy but i got it i think
Good luck! Really hope you can get off the stuff!
im down to 45 and i go down 10 a week- the dosing nurse keeps asking are u sure u want to go down that much again? its so dumb because when i was going up by 30 mgs- they NEVER questioned me! i went all the way to 180 n i was so sedated i could barely stay awake. if i sat down- on the nod id go. im gettn off this shit because i WANT to!!! im done im ready... 2 years of this shit besides the 17 years of addiction is enuff! im DONE! n i ve been wondering how far down is enuff before i just say fuck it.... im hoping to b done n about a month. good luck everyone n remeber even if u physically feel like shit- most of its all n yer head! keep busy, stay strong.
Praying for you!

I have been on 145. Mg. For 6 years. Everyone's tolerance is different. What may work for you, may not work for me.
Jewel Haines :Maybe you need to get another doc.
Your so much stronger than I was coming off years of Methadone and Suboxone. I have been C&S for over 18 months and life is pretty amazing. Are you in program as well? Congrats on the 9 months, that's badass.
this is terrifying! I've been going to the methadone clinic for about 5 years. I went up to 80 mg. I've been decreasing by 5mg. I've been at 35mg for about 4 weeks now. my goal is to get off this stuff. but watching this video I'm discouraged
+Angela Mirando thank you for that. I shouldn't have used the word discouraged. It was more of a eye opener. It just blew my mind that you had all the withdrawals coming off the 6mg. I can definitely say I now know what to expect. I can relate to your story. I feel like I've just been going through the motions of life and not really living it. I feel so numb to my feelings and who I truly am. I'm so ready to be done with methadone and live a sober life. I am beyond excited about the future... Thank you for the videos.
+Angela Mirando i am on 15 ml of methadone. i want to quid but i am so scared. i did cold turky before then i go bk to heroin nw just methadone 15 ml soooo scared
+Austin Rose if you need to get on subutex for 6-8 weeks. start at 4mg and taper down from there. good luck!
+Austin Rose Hey girl, I feel ya 100%. This week I am/was planning on coming off of my Methadone that I've been on for 2 years now (Through the Methadone clinic) and I've gotten down to 15mg now. Do any of you have advice in regards to going off Methadone 'Cold Turkey'? I am extremely nervous and scared to do this but I am more than ready to, I don't wanna be dependent on the Methadone any more. Thank you for getting back to me
+Austin Rose How are you doing now? your comment was 2 months ago? I hope you are getting though it. :)
I love and hate methadone all at the same time.
right.

Dj K-Oz yes you do and whole body
I remember getting electric shocks when I was detoxing in my mouth, I was trying to eat some apple crumble , first thing in many days , I went into weird shocks like you !!
Silent Spectre I get major brain zaps too mixed with disorientation when it happens
I have felt them ,they r the worse!!!
This video is from awhile back, actually not sure how I ended up here lol I just saw it in the references area while watching a G.G. Allin video. Anyways, hope all is better these days and clean. Happy New year.

Shame to see these beautiful girls hooked on smack
Paul Reyes shame to these dudes who think they got a clue. To these dudes that think their opinion and experience are the only ones that matter,and the only truth to life. To these dudes who speak before educating themselves. To the shitty fucking dudes with big ass egos for no reason, and the entitlement that goes with it. We are all fucking humans, not one better than the other, and all with thoughts, feelings, and experiences of our very own.
So in this situation and every other, if you don't have a clue, then you don't get to have an opinion. Especially an opinion about another person's life. There is only understanding, or plain ignorance. You can choose to educate yourself before you open your mouth and spit shit that has no relevancy at all.
kri sta 🤘 couldn't have said it better myself. Wish some ppl knew the difference in smack and LEGAL detox. This video is about a woman who has been taking medication that has been prescribed to her for 7 years, its hardly smack.... it would be a more well student comment if it was directed towards the government and their corrupt ways but we won't go there cuz I'm just generalizing and this guy's a dumbass
It's a shame to see anyone get hooked. They have to be in a pretty bad place mentally to think "fuck it, I need a release and I don't care"
kri sta wow...go right ahead and make this about yourself....foh
What does cocaine have to do with this
My story with the clinic is like yours. I abused it. Now in my life after my cold turkey from methadone 13 years ago. My quit dose was 45mg so it sucked. I am very proud of you and when its all out you can feel again. Sex returns in a wonderful way. After I quit it topk a year or so to recover because cold turkey any way you do it is gonna peel you like an onion anyways. You are doing this the smart way. So glad you made it and are enjoying your life experiences. Dont look behind cause a tear that never dries can only make you blind. Godspeed to you and yours
i love that saying. thank you so much for your beautiful words :) this video was so many years ago now but I will never forget those withdrawals! congratulations 13 years ago! not too many of us out there it’s good to hear . hope you are doing amazing
So it’s not just me.. I have absolutely no sex at all and go can months without it so it is true it takes ur sex temptations away??? Lmk cuz my hubby says I use to be a horn dog I’m o my 38 been on methadone since I was 29 and I h have no sex drive whatsoever
Hey Lena Marie Idk if ur fully off methadone yet but I was on 180 for 8 years and I started to ween myself down I would take little sips every time I felt like I needed it...I would get take home bottles for the week bcuz I did what I was supposed to do I was clean the whole time I was on methadone and now its been 14 years clean and sober but as I was going through the process of getting off I finally got down to 1 bottle a week...then I started to ween myself off that!!! Now I was doing this without the clinics knowledge so I was still getting my bottles now I don't wanna say what I was doing with the extras but lets just say I had them for back up just in case...but when I got down to a really low dose and some days I wasn't taking it at all and the withdrawal was agony...now I had a Dr that would give me whatever I wanted so he gave me 0.2 mgs of clonidine and I was on klonopin for my panic attacks from my psych now I figured out that if I took 2 clonidine and 2 1 mgs of klonopin before bed it helped tremendously and even in the day if u took just a couple of clonidine to make the pain subside it works and if u still have trouble at night sleeping I would take an Ambien...now I just took this until I started to feel better and it took about a month for my body aches to go away so I stopped with the clonidine but your gonna have trouble sleeping for about 6 months up to maybe a year to feel 100% I've always been on klonopin bcuz of my panic disorder but u don't have to stay on that u can take that for about a month without becoming addicted and if u can get Ambien it does help with the sleep...I'll always b on klonopin bc I have severe panic disorder but I've been clean now for 14 years and the clonidine and klonopin and ambien helped...do not take Sereoquel I was on that and it does contribute to the restless leg syndrome and also makes u gain alot of weight so I was like nah I'm good lol...but if ur still struggling try what I did and c if it helps bc it did wonders for me I'm living proof 14 years clean and have no desire to use!!! May God b with u and help u through ur journey I'll b praying for u!!! Do an update video and let us know how ur doing!!! God Bless!!!
Well done you are amazing I remember kicking straight up 120mg methadone ages ago with absolutely Fuck all it almost killed me then and I was 26 I'm 38 and have had alot of relapse in my life but will never go back to methadone. You are an inspiration
michele longley I came off 110ml methadone down 10ml a month till I was at 20ml and went on suboxone for 2 weeks best thing I ever did
GILMOUR KEIRS
Thats great. Everyone has there owm individual way of battling this horrible disease. But point being thats great and positive thoughts to you and you tried and succeded !
michele longley Everyone has their own individual way of battling this".
Yeah, 99% call it synthetic heroin...
And addiction is not a disease. Its a choice they made themselves when sticking needles in thier arms or smoking that shit. They did it to themselves. Its not a disease. Its a crutch. Far more people deserve pity, than this spoiled stripper.
And dont talk to me about fkg sympathy i served in army med.corps all over the fkg globe. You wouldnt even know the true meaning of sympathy.
For someone who's been on methadone for 5 years, tapering from 115 mgs to 6 mgs as of today, I truly appreciate your videos. Thank you!
I'm on 5 right now... how did you feel when you got lower than this??
@@vellramontano8783 i went from 90 mg to 3 in 2019 i get COVID 19 and i go up to 50 mg ,right now i am in 19 mg ready to tape out after more then 18 years.if You go down 1 mg every 2 weeks or SO You Will be o right. One advice don't take nothing to help whit the whitdraws cuz You Will prolong the whitdraws ok.good luck to You.
@@jesusmalave3340 how are you now? I’m going down 1 mg every 1 to 2 weeks. My last day will be in September
@@RL82387 I started a slow workout and eating better. I only drink water nothing else. I’ve lost a ton of weight that I put on since starting methadone too. Can I ask how long you were on methadone for? It’s been 10 years for me. Thanks so much for the encouragement! I really needed that. I’m so sick of anything that can make me feel foggy. I’m so ready to be done with this. I’m ready for all of my senses to come back.
@@gbecks3672 how’d everything work out for you? I’m tapering now, currently doing 1mg every month. I’m at 17
I been there it’s hard for 10 years and girrrrrl omg it’s awful it was very difficult I admire u
Shannon Campbell I hope you are doing well and stay well. its very hard.
Chasity Allen Hahahaha so what happened to not being on here for TWO MONTHS??? LOL dumbass drug addicted losers like yourself have zero recollection of time. 😂😂😂😂
Patrice Nagel they wont be because I wont spoil them shit less, and Ill raise them with self respect and dignity 😉👌🏻
Arthur Red .... Who are you? Obviously, a narrow minded, hatefilled, judgmental, ill-spirited "troll"..... WTF ur deal!!? She's sharing her testimony to help other's who don't quite have the strength, mind frame or knowledge one needs, too stop living in denial, putting in the proper motion's necessary, to make a change and stop the insanity in order too take back her life from the demons that tried to steal her soul which stems from addiction. God has a different plan for lions amoung sheep; she has the love it takes for oneselves, to work threw the struggle's and at time's vulnerabilities that is accompanied with addiction! I would say you got some nerve, but hiding behind a screen, trolling the shit you type, doesn't equate that. Lol, I'd enjoy being present, while you stand man to man and talk the shit-red neck trash, you post behind a computer screen. Just from skimming that garbage that you have translated within her message dissusion's, its obvious you just clicked on her thumbnail randomly bc shes pretty and you and "Palm-ELLA" were trying to rub one off.........as you listen to her voice, the aggression from blue balls started to seep in; after hearing her story.....your reminded of that ex girlfriend from the past who really gave you a run for your money, by selling her soul to the devil for drugs doing GOD knows what, that stained your narrow-minded brain, with the words "drugs" and "addiction"...bc shes too occupied turning tricks to get her dope fix; and left you high an dry with kids..
This logic seems about right... maybe try watching this video again and soak in what strength, stay focused and being determined to change looks like.
I was on 100mg of methadone for 2 years when I decided I was ready to get off of it. So in this third year I’ve been tapering slowly and it’s been really difficult. But I’m now down to 47MG from 100mg and I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I’m determined to get off of this and put this all behind me. Seeing this video and reading all the comments from people who have been successful at getting off of methadone gives me so much hope!!!
I recommend you hit up this legit plug they're very reliable ship to any location they got heroin dmt,lsd,spores,microdose and other psychedelic stuffs

They're on INSTAGRAM
We are similar animals. I’ve been at 85 mg for two years and I am ready to start tapering down as well. Should you get this message, I hope it finds you well. Would also love to exchange a few messages with you. I’d love to get some perspective and tips on what I hope is a successful taper and quit. Much love, Courtney!

I'm in the same boat, I'm only at 63 right now tho. I was going down by 5 MG but idk if I was just pyching myself out or if the withdrawal symptoms were real, sure felt real anyways... but I went down to 3mg every 2 weeks and that's a bit more manageable for me right now. I just can't afford it. I spend 750-800 a month including my gas to and from the clinic daily. I only make maybe 1500 on a good month, and it takes half my check. I'm couch hopping right now and had to let my vehicle go back, I still have my job but that's the only thing I have now.. I wish we had Uber, lyft, or even a taxi in my area, but I'm in rural Alabama. I had been clean from heroin, meth, and alcohol for 5 years and then I tried those stupid zazas and tianas and ended up taking 2-4 24 count bottles daily and was taking out payday loans and everything else to buy them after I had worked so hard to get my credit to a high 500 after my last time in addiction. So here I am back at square one, addicted to methadone to get off tianeptine. These videos have been so helpful, my parents said they'd let me stay with them but I had to quit methadone and have a job, I just don't think I'll be able to work while withdrawing after the videos and comments I've read honestly, maybe if I can get myself in a better head space I'll give it a try..
she is Beautiful
kregg Kittelson she is ugly af 😂😂
+manny gomez you need to go back to school and learn how to speak and spell correctly. what are you trying to say. or if your just slow I'm sorry not trying to make fun if you if you can't do proper grammar
+manny gomez foe sho lmfao.
kregg Kittelson nahhhh
kregg Kittelson Yeah.
Seroquil made me very suicidal. The depression from withdrawal was multiplied so much that I attempted suicide twice. It didn’t help that I didn’t sleep a wink the whole time. Eventually I gave up trying cold turkey, and tried slowly dropping down my dose. Now I am terrified of getting completely off methadone. It’s a cruel, evil, demanding mistress. I hate her. But I’m terrified of leaving her. Terrified.
Johnathon Rose yeah it's one of those anti psychotic so it does very different things for different people. For me, Seroquel turns my brain off 30 mins after I take it. I have these weird mini panic attacks when trying to go to sleep (dwelling on life, finances, etc). This literally turns my brain off and puts me out cold.
You should also try Kratom. Some pretty good results from what I have heard as far as weaning off of opiates (not sure about heroin, tbh....I took it to kick Oxy). Worked like a charm. Allowed my body to keep that "high", all while ridding my body of the withdrawal causing chemicals. After about 3 months, I just stopped taking it. No withdrawals from Kratom (although I have heard of some mild withdrawals like loss of appetite and sleeplessness, but usually lasting no more than a day or two).
Try the Maeng Da. Highest opiate feeling. Green Malay will last longer and give you a ton of energy as well. Red Bali will make you sleep. And all of it is natural and non addictive.
Gentry Harms Now this sounds intriguing/ interesting.
Can you explain more about the stuff you took to get off the oxy.
Where to find the stuff you speak of. 👍
Thanks.
michael simard sure man. I get mine from a shop near me called Herbstomp. Awesome group of folks. You can get a kilo of the raw herbs (it's like a powder...fair warning it tastes like ass) for anywhere from 125 to 200 (obviously you can get less at a time). Careful, as some states have already outlawed it. Make sure to check. The DEA was set to schedule Kratom 2 years ago but were deterred from it by senators and veterans (lots use it for pain). You can look into the different strains, as there are a ton, online. I used Green Malay. It lasted longest and gave that nice body high, but also gave me a ton of energy.
Do some research though. I have yet to hear anyone claim to have withdrawals with few exceptions, and I k ow of a ton of people who have switched from harder stuff to this and succeeded. Good luck to you, bro. Just ask more questions if you have them!
Gentry Harms 👍
Thank you very much.
I appreciate any info I can get from people willing to help.
Happy New year. Best wishes to you dude . 👍
clowns.... ya she looks ok with all that makeup
I’m quitting methadone ! But I’m just taking every pill under the sun to counteract it!
Stfu
Methadone was the only way I could survive, no other program or doctor ever helped me, but when I assumed responsibility for my life and dedicated myself to a sustainable program that worked for me, I thrived. 20 years later and on a low to moderate dose, I have no regrets. I read some of these comments that lack compassion, and come from a place of straight ego, and I laugh because they will never appreciate life and the simple things like recovering addicts do. Even with 3 herniated discs in my back I still plan on coming off but it’s been a long journey. Let’s assume responsibility for our lives, even if the doctors who took advantage and/or helped perpetuate the opioid epidemic, won’t assume responsibility for their actions.
Nice guns Angie 👍 and thx for your experience and help ! God bless 🙏
seroquel actually can induce RLS(restless leg syndrome) which stinks cause it’s a sleep med and that can keep you up
11 yrs and counting....
I HATE the methadone program. In my opinion it's just legal drug dealing. Not addicted to pills anymore but now I'm addicted to methadone.
To me that's a much worse addiction.
Tiff's Journey Keep the faith and stay strong
La'Rue jones thanks so much. Im at 30mlg and hopefully I can get off of it completely.
Tiff's Journey Yes in Jesus Name Amen
saved my life, and I know of at least 2 others. You are indeed addicted to another drug, but that drug is controlled tightly, and being in the program for over 8 years was too long, I should have tapper off much sooner. Despite that, the fact that I was only taking that one medicine, one time a day, from a medical facility vs dealing and chasing to feed my usage as I did before, I stopped getting into legal trouble, I was able to develop MUCH better relationships with my family and friends that I kept, was able or in some cases just had to cut ties to old friends that were not working to maintain, but my point is, even without attending meetings and what not, just the breaking of those incredible self destructive habits via having the guide lines I had to at first comply with, but later found I just wanted to comply with, from the program itself was ... really life saving. It isn't for everyone, and its no magic bullet, but the real benefits from the Methadone Maintenance Treatment in my opinion are just ... all the life changes it allowed and required me to make, that developed into habits. Detoxing from methadone is no joke, taper down and just be ready i'm in the middle of detoxing from it now, but it does have a real value in our society.
A methodone habit is extremly worse than a pill habit from experience the methodone program is satan trap to keep people from ever getting clean i wish i never got hooked on this shit i rather pop pills than feel extreme shit when i dont have methodone smfh
I'm in the process of kicking it it's horrible
Thankyou for sherring this, im from denmark, i want you to know you video is helping someone in europe,,, God bless you
Wow this was 3 yeasrs ago but I myself am on methadone for 2 yrs and I'm at 120mg and I just want to be at a point where I can start detoxing lil by lil. I want to be where your at now but I know I need to work at it. Thanks for sharing your story.
Dilaila O Apodaca listen I have been detoxing off meth. It's the first few days that are bad. After 21 days u will be good
Wayne Jones how many ml were you on??
Wayne Jones not necessarily. Depends on the person, dosage, length of use. There’s no magic number of days until you feel normal
It's so hard I'm on 86 mls of dome if I don't have it my body hurts and my head starts to get flashbacks of my past and I know I will go back to using the gear if I don't have it. Ppl don't realise the pain ppl have been through and just put you down only if some had been through the shit I'd been through they would maybe have a little compassion
People act like it's soo hard to get off. It's not!! If u do it right!! First off don't start out with a high dose just enough to keep u good til the next dose. I was on it for two years I never went above 70mg. I detoxed 1 milligram a week and after I got to one milligram doctor prescribed a few different meds like muscle relaxers and what not. I only took a quarter of what they prescribed or I'd be out for two days. I had no withdrawal what so ever was really easy. I was mentally ready. Most people that try to get off think there ready but really aren't. Don't let people fool you. It's not hard to get off if you do it RIGHT!!!!
Been off methadone for 3 weeks was on it for two years, your videos have really helped thanks girl! We are free from those liquid handcuffs !
How long did it last? It’s been a month and I’m still got cold sweats
idd love to see how everyone is doing yrs later I knew from when I first seen this video this girl ment biz yrs later in tapering...
I hope you stayed off , it takes alot of perseverance, and if you went back don't give up. Trust me it's possible.
Once i was stable I cut back 1 milligram every 2 weeks from 80, then when I got down to an amount I couldn't measure, I used the eye dropper. I used 3 drops just before bed for 2 weeks, and then 2 drops for 2 weeks, and the 1 drop for 2 weeks, and then nothing. The first night without my 1 drop I slept a good 7 hours no toss n and turning or electric legs. It worked for me. It's very important that you are "stable" on your dose and KNOW what that means before you attempt to reduce your amount. I'm 38 and have been opiate free for 7 years. Cutting back gradually is the key, 1 milligram every 2 weeks. This reduction method doesn't work well if you double dose once in awhile if you're going to continue to want to get high you're not stable on your dose. It took us years to get the way we are it's going to take years to properly cut back and reduce to nothing if you want to do it without withdrawals.
thats the key chief
Gary rodriguez Hey Gary I'm Jeremy, I cut back a milligram at a time every two weeks, the clinic I went to had a machine that dispensed out very presicely measured amounts of liquid methadone so I was able to go down 1 mg at a time and I think in doing it that way it helped me not have to go through any withdrawal symptoms and I breezed right on by 10 mg and got down to 1mg doing it that way.
Gary rodriguez
Good luck Brutha 👍
I am onpage with you here.
With the support at hand make it your priority to get rid of the meds you dislike and know there are others doing the same as you.
Best wishes and I hope you get done and clean as fast as you can. 💪🏼👊😎
I was on 105 n quit cold turkey. Been three weeks since I last dosed. Been a journey!
Gary rodriguez you’re amazing Gary! You can do it! :D
how do you go now, a few years after making this video? Ignore my question, I just watched your latest video. Good luck with your study, I'm also studying nursing and I came across this video while searching for some information about methadone withdrawal.. You will be great as a nurse, I wouldn't be surprised if you use some of your past experiences as an advantage. All the best
