I want to write this to give people out there hope,I have been on methadone maintenance for almost 8yrs @350mgs a day.I always wanted to get off but was afraid ,I will always here the horror story's from people saying I was on 6,20 or 40mgs and I was sick for months and ultimately had to get back on.it's been almost 4 weeks since I quite cold turkey,because of the long 1/2 life of the drug day 1-2 wasn't that bad but day 3-11 was the worst(I looked like Leonardo DiCaprio in basketball diaries) but now I'm starting to come around still cant really sleep that good,have shakes and the pins and needles all over my body but nothing like in the beginning, still I force my self to exercise every day,and take 9 different supplements to get this sh*t out.everyday behind me is a day forward.I can finally truly smile again,I have been in a fog for 8yrs.methadone is the worst drug out there by far,save your $400 a month.good luck to all,stay strong it gets better I promise.
