his last dose was Sunday morning...It is Tuesday night...I thought he would be "dying" ....but...nope ...he is eating ,drinking,etc...c'mon...what's up?
I do know he smokes pot still...but that can take away all the WD symptoms???
Something I should be looking for??...I know his counselor called today from the clinic...
I refuse to help him pay for this ...and he is in debt up to his eyeballs....
Do you think he switched to pills?
What's up?
He may not necessarily be taking something else. I was on methadone for almost 2 years. I started at 30mg and went up to 65. I had to quit cold turkey because I could not longer afford to pay the clinic either. The first 3 -4 days I was okay. I thought I could manage. But by the 5th night I was freaking out. I was tired and so achy. I could barely lift a 6 pack of sodas. I went a full 9 days without anything and by the 6th or 7th day I was hearing things... The last night before I got on suboxone I was hallucinating. If he's on 100mg a day I would def check into some other form of treatment. I was able to receive suboxone free for a year from the pharmaceutical company. They have an indigent program so that may be something to look into. Now finding a doctor and paying for that may be difficult... however cold turkey on 100mg of methadone, from my experience, is not safe.
