I finally got off methadone! U Can 2!!

[betty_bupe]

Hey group,



I'm new here...I used to be a member on drugabuse.com, which has since
disbanded. I just wanted to share my story of overcoming opiates,
so that I might be of help/inspiration to all of youz struggling.



First of all, getting off opiates is NOT easy...anyone that tells you otherwise is a knob, not to mention a LIAR.



Here's what I did: I tapered my methadone down to a low, low
dosage(15mg), and then switched to morphine for two weeks, while the
methadone exited my body. I stayed on morphine for the entire
duration of the two weeks- the switch was NOT easy- and then detoxed
with Ibogaine. I should mention, that even after 3.5 weeks off
methadone, my urinalysis still tested positive for that shite.



It has now been over four weeks since my last drink, and 2.5 weeks
since my last morphine tab. I won't lie- I had a bit of residual
withdrawal; however, Ibogaine reduced this to about 10-20% of what it
would have been initially. Hot bathes, ginger tea, Sweet Leaf,
and lots of positive music (think Ray Charles, gospel, etc.) got me
through the worst of it, which truly wasn't too bad by any means.
The only lingering symptom is periodic insomnia, and a bit of
grumpiness. No more hot/cold flashes, tingles, nausea, diarrhea,
etc etc etc......



To all my dear peeps still on the 'done: when you are ready, don't
worry- it CAN be done!! Please feel free to contact me by email;
I would be more than happy to answer any questions.



love Betty
