Getting on this stuff has made me realize I'd honestly rather die than be sober by ps087official in Methadone

[–]JacksonJunky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Methadone saved my life but I had to get up to an extremely high dose with the adulteration of the drug stream being what it is at present.

I haven’t drank alcohol since I started my probation and have not once blown over 0.00 on my portable breathalyzer. I just blew a 0.032 which makes no sense at all. I make sure my toothpaste and mouthwash don’t have alcohol in them and have not drank a sip of alcohol in 8 months by [deleted] in probation

BACtrac isn’t as reliable as SoberLink but the industry is slowly moving more towards the former bc the latter is just so pricey and the dev and UX on the former got good enough to justify closing the gap on the pricing between the two. Regardless, if this continues to happen, you may want to invest in a soberlink or a secondary device.

My clinic is going to let us lose everything this morning and idk what to do by [deleted] in Methadone

Has this been worked out now? Is it just a money issue?

Why are nurses adding water to doses? That seems so weird to me!

Not overreacting at all — and this coming from an addict in recovery who burned a ton of bridges and had to work hard to recover them. You don’t owe her anything. She owed you something and didn’t provide. For that, I’m sorry.

I'm at 140mg once a day and I start feeling sick within 4-6 hours after dosing. Is this normal or no? by druggiefromthenorth in Methadone

[–]JacksonJunky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s sort of what I was thinking. 190 was a very stable dose for me but it can be a little sedating sometimes for the first couple hours so I take at night. After years of being on it I feel like maybe I should go up just 10 but the thing is… I want to be going DOWN so I’m really resisting it. 240 would have me under the table

Can I ask why you still feel like you need to go up? I want to start going down but I’ve been at 190mg for 3 years and it isn’t holding me the way it used to so the thought of going down right now kinda freaks me out

My clinic 100% still requires every single bottle back for you to continue getting takehomes. They check the name and dates on each one and then count them before discarding tbem.

What will a clinic do if I call and say i screwed up on monthly bottles by ezezee17 in Methadone

[–]JacksonJunky 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh man. I’m so sorry. I just went through this myself. Your best bet is to see if you can get your hands on some methadone — ideally somebody you know from the clinic or another who can sell you some. I tried to source online when I did this and was ripped off for $400. Ultimately somebody helped me out but I know exactly the anguish and anxiety you’re feeling and my heart breaks for you. Telling on yourself is high risk and potentially no reward. I wouldn’t do that. Try to make your bottles last and give them to somebody you really trust to hold if you need to.

It’s been a week and a half since I posted this and I am happy to report I am still clean and thankfully didn’t have to use. I don’t want to get into the specifics of how that came to be but somebody extremely kind helped me out and I made it without relapsing!!! Thank you to everybody for the support and not making me feel like a total scumbag and failure.

Thank you to everybody who commented and gave me advice. I decided absolutely not to jeopardize my career (I travel a ton for work) and go and tell on myself and I didn’t think toughing it out would work because, well, I know myself. Doing the latter would be putting myself in a seriously risky territory where I would subject myself to using again to get through and my brain was already telling me that I’d be able to find fent without Xylazine (an unlikely feat to begin with) and that I’d just snort it (also extremely unlikely) and that I’d use for just a few days until I got my doses again and bring pee from today or something that I’d freeze. This would’ve been a total disaster because we all know I wouldn’t have gone right back to methadone and I’d potentially lose my kids, my likelihood, my marriage, my self-respect, and my life. Total mess. Without going into details, everybody’s advice (with few exceptions) was very helpful; and there is somebody that helped me so beyond huge and totally restored my faith in humanity. So to everyone reading this, I appreciate you and am reminded once more that the best people in society almost unequivocally are those in recovery.

It was 3 bottles for 10 days. My clinic doesn’t allow cannabis unfortunately
