Although my experience is limited, I have found that there is no subjective, or objective withdrawal symptoms with just a 20-30% increase to my previous opiate dose- I can stabilize OF COURSE the decision to save myself from methadone..deserves a reward of a triple- up blast off.... then ya, sick comes quiker ..and without at least the 2-3 doses to make it thru to bedtime I would be off to an uncomfortable start. Lets say I do have the means to afford a 10 day bender... ? It does seem logical- it is fact..we see that heroin/opiate withdrawal is less frightening to anticipate, and a milder "hell to kick" ".. and with the lifestyle changes that a methadone routine provides,it could be the conditioning for a short visit .. 10 days to kick the methadone..without fear or pain ...then the awful 24-36 hours of torture we face till we can begin the REAL HELL of kicking cold turkey ..600,00 seconds till our 1st glorious flash of relief...when its better.. just the worst flu ever... not the vividly slow motion fire and freeze of every last cell ..100 weight sand-paper wet suit..soaked sheets, pillow, toes sweat.. sleepless..a totally un- distractable torture . And.. the knowledge.. a sip of methadone... and its just the 10-15 min till your body absorbs it.. 110% better.
The "shoulda coulda -if i woulda" regrets associated with the methadone "kop-out", had better be a finely tuned battle-plan... or, - its back to the clinic "sweatin like a slave"..
AND REPEAT...
...and repeat...common roller coaster..
It does make sense... but its not likely that the weakness we cultivated with the progression of an already sensible debate.. life sux.. drugs get u hi.. get hi.. u cant ruin what will only die.. ***
simplified.. if you are bionic..a super-sport will.. angels pullin your strings..and guaranteed bliss upon drug-free- dom.. You still need luck to end up on the 8% side of statistics.
what a pickle ... opiate addiction
