@bcHElovesme Don't be so overly hard on yourself. Methadone is very hard to come off, harder than most. Especially cold turkey. Suboxone will help with relief, but I would advise to only stay on it long enough to get through your symptoms and taper off that right away too....otherwise you're just changing the name of the rose: Pills>Methadone>Suboxone>Etc......all of them doing them same for you. Suboxone is probably your best bet of getting off and getting clean. I was on 3-5mg a day, then took two weeks of Methadone, 8 days of 1mg a day of Suboxone and jumped....that was 2 weeks and 3 days ago...I feel great now!! It wasn't fun at first, I got sick, t hurt and I'm still chilly at times, but I worked my butt off to get through it and feel so much better for it. You can do this! Don't feel bad, just make sure you make and stick to a plan to get off for good! Good luck!
