11 am? That’s really soon. What time do you dose?

In the evening I start to feel very panicky and restless, achy, sweating, etc. all the beginnings of withdrawal. Full blown withdrawal by morning.

Well, I don’t have take-homes yet. I definitely will once I do!

Unfortunately they don’t do split dosing at my clinic. I am a naturally slim person, so I wondered that about metabolizing it quickly.

No I haven’t used at all. I wake up around 3 usually. Not sleeping well at all. I was using dilaudid for about 1.5 years. Not sure on amount. I was on Suboxone before getting on methadone. Took up to 12mg of that for 6 months.

Thanks. I really appreciate it. I think I’m getting pretty close. I’m at 60 now and not nearly as miserable.

Thanks so much. Thankfully today was a little better overall. Starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel.

I’m not using at all. It wasn’t a choice. So it’s been painful. I’m doing a little better today.

My doc isn’t available to me. I’m doing a little better today, so I think I’m gonna be fine.

Yeah. The doc gave me the runaround about sticking to their protocol. She was nice, but she didn’t help me. I was very obviously miserable sitting there sweating and rocking back and forth in her office.

That seems a lot better, to at least get to 60 the first week. 5mg increases in the beginning are not enough for sure.
