I am in the process of extracting myself from methadone.I've been on it 2 years.The 1st attempt at extracting was horrible as I stopped at a 20mg dosage=pure stupidity.
Then after 2 days went back on the 20mg dose up until Sept.Than SLOWY lowered dosages until current dose of 2 mg.
During the lowering process I had side effects of massive fatigue,mood swings,chills/gose skin all the time thru out the day, and of course depression/not having any motivation.
That lasts for me for 2months.Now I feel better not on all 6 cylinders.
At 1st methadone finally made me feel normal again for around 6 months.After which I noticed it was like having a muzzle put on my emotions which is what it does.
It's like watch out what you wish for-just like any opiate-it catches up to you and you become a bird in a cage.Those dreamy images fade into nothingness.
I will say it has helped put my life in order-at first-but as I said after the 1st year your bogged.
As for people who mix mthadone with xanax on high doses, well as any drus user knows your playing Russian rollete.
I myself have used a very small dose 1/2 to 1mg of either xanax or kolonopine to help me sleep as other sleep agents give me adverse side effects.This was at the 10 mg dose methadone and under.It takes the edge off slightly and helps me sleep.
I know people who are on it long term and it does it's job=function daily level.But at what cost just like any other opiate?
Lastly, anyone who uses knows in the back of their mind" wow I can die from this."Or they don't care anyhow. I want to do more positive thngs with my life.I've wasted so much time,energy,and money only to find my tals long enough for me to chew on.
