it is just BS there's no way that she is on methadone
Taper your dose down if you go cold turkey you will be horribly "dope sick". I was vomiting, had diarrhea, could hardly sleep, terrible body aches, and runny nose and eyes for 37 days after going cold turkey off of 100mg for several years. This last time i tapered my dose down 10mg every 2 weeks until i got to a 10mg dose and then tapered to 5mg every other day for 2 weeks and then quit , still had insomnia but nothing like last time. If i were you i would get off of it and never mess with opiods/opiates again. Ive been doing narcotics since i was 13 years old and im 48 now and hooked on morphine (again). Good luck to you!!
I have taken as much as 500mg of methadone and am now at 20mg. I have real pain from psoriasis that turned into psoriatic arthritis. My knuckles have bumps on the top and the balls of my feet to my toes make it so painful after being on my feet for an hour I have to sit. It is painful to open a bottle of pepsi. Never used illegal dope and a doctor prescribed it years ago for sciatica which has all but disappeared. But whether I was on 500mg or 20mg the pain has stayed the same. The only time it subsides is when I double my dose for a day or two.
But when I see a 14 yo girl on this it breaks my heart. I pray she has beat this by now. How the hell did she get it in the first place. When I was 14 I never even heard of it. And the other questions about can you feel other opiates, for me HELL no. I could take 20 roxy's and not feel anything but my tolerance is unusually high. I am currently working on a new pain doctor but most since this "opiate" crisis want to give me injections in my feet. Screw that.

One more addition is for sleep I take ambien. Have for 20 years as I have always been up till 3am and awake by 6am. That's just not normal. Tossing and turning absolutely sucks.
Had a brother in law pass away from methadone pills and Xanax . Either drug is nothing to play with . I know from lots of years experience and still fighting the demons. Good luck to you and yours. Hope you have better luck than I did . God Bless
i started when i was 15. and many of my friends. This is not uncommon. The problem is at that age you have best options to quit, but you wont because you are so young and its still all ok and good and you think i have time and so on c:( Now i am 39 and still fighting. Now i really want to quit but i am so screwed up mentaly and lost that its so difficult.
