How long should I wait after my last dose of methadone to start suboxone?
I have went down from 85mg of methadone to 17mg of methadone at a rate of 4mg per day. It has been 24 hours since my last dose of 17mg and Im already feeling the w d setting in. I know they say to wait 3 days once you are down to 30mg of methadone but if I have tapered down to 17mg would I still have to wait a full 3 days? Please only answer if you have experience with suboxone. Because I have experienced precipitated W D in th past and never want to feel that again. Thank You.

Should I stop my methadone treatment?
Here is the thing, I am an ex drug addict, I was a pretty bad user, started pills when I was 18 from a chronic pain condition called endometrosis but I have been sober or clean from heroin and pills for 2 years about....I got on methadone treatment about 2 years ago. I am living with my friend who is into natural medicine and is against methadone. I know that methadone causes some stuff like i heard it depletes the calcium in the bones over time, and it's REALLY hard to get off..I know I tried before. But I don't want to be on it for the rest of my life. I am 27 and I'm on 105mg a day. My roommate says I should get off because 1. it prevents me from going living anywhere that doesn't have a methadone clinic nearby.2. I have to go almost everyday to the clinic.. I'm on phase 2 which means I can have 3 take outs a week, and I will be getting my phase 3 soon. 3. He's worried about the calcium thing.4. Also he thinks I will die from a liver thing or slow breathing in my sleep. Those are the main things he is worried about,but the things is..I have been on it for about 2 years and I have not had a dirty UA since getting on the methadone. It's has been helping me..Also it really is hard to get off. I have heard of this treatment called. Ibogain? It supposedly helps people get off opiates, and it addresses the withdrawal that would come with stopping it. I know I don't want to be on it forever but....it's helping me right now....what do you think? Thank you.

Switching to suboxone from methadone how rough is it?
Just looking for a little quick advice about my switch from Methadone to Suboxone from anyone that has been through the same thing or any experience with it. Have been on methadone for the past year at 30mg then weened down to 5mg and took my last dose last monday. The earliest I could get in to see the suboxone doctor was wednesday, tomorrow. So i had to wait about 8 days. I have been using opanas this week to get by and i got a suboxone saturday to use. I know I have to be in withdrawals at my appointment but i got an Opana 40 this morning and just finished it off. My appt is at 1 45 so that gives me about 18 hours do you think I will be alright and they will go me my Suboxone? Also I have only used Suboxone a handful of times so not too familiar with it's effects over long time usage? I know it helps with the cravings but do you also have the buzz from other pain killers so you have no desire to use whatsoever? I'm 21 year old male and was using oxys for about 2 years anywhere from 80 a couple hundred miligrams a day. Then i got introduced to opanas about a year ago and was doing 1 2 opana 40mg pills a day so on average 60 80mg. This is the same time i started on methadone also so i was doing methadone and opana daily. Switching from using oxys to methadone and opana together has really up my tolerance which im sure is obvious. Just any insightful info about the transition from methadone to suboxone and what to expect would be much appreciated? also what dose do you think i'll be started on? FYI im currently prescribed 40mg of adderall instant release a day for a little more background info.Keep your judgmental comments and any jack advice to yourself about how i'm a junkie or ruining my life with opiates please. Heard it all before. Thanks in advance for all your help

Does Marijuana help withdrawal from methadone?
My sister is addicted to meth, but goes to the clinic. She missed it today and yesterday and wants me to give her money for meth and she said she's going to rehab soon. I haven't answered her back, but I refuse to give her any money for more meth. I'd give her weed though if that could help her. She said she is throwing up and that she feels really bad. I don't mess with any other drugs so I'm not sure if a gram of weed could help her until she gets to the clinic tomorrow morning.

Methadone to fentnyl patch?
After 12 years as a chronic pain patient I am trying to get off methadone. A doctor suggested changing to a fentynl patch first, then detox from that. What do you think?I have had a surgery that I hope will make things better and I would like to pursue acupuncture and massage therapy as an alternative. However, my family doctor has dropped my methadone by half in the last 2 months and I am a jittery wreck constantly and can't help but backslide. Between the pain and the withdrawal I can't tolerate it. Can't work, can't sleep. How can I explain this to her without looking like a failure.

Help with fathers Methadone Withdrawl...?
My father in law has had a UTI, and has been on methadone for years for his pain. The doctors are slowly reducing his Methadone. He has gone from 50, to 30mg daily this week. He is staying at our house so we can monitor him. When he went to the doctors on Monday his B P was 140 90. Now his blood pressure is 140 100 and 130 99 the last 2 times we checked. He is flushed and getting cold sweats. He is in his 50's. He has been drinking lots of water to help flush out his infection. What can we do to help this process and make him feel better? Thanks
