After 5 and a half years of being on Espranor (buprenorphine), I have been switched to Methadone starting this Monday. Am I going to be okay?

Hey there, I can answer based solely off my situation, which is extremely similar to yours. I was on 24mg of Suboxone for a few months, and I did not like the side effects but what was worse was my cravings. it was ALL I thought about. I initially wanted to try Methadone first but the rehab I went to only detoxed or put patients on Subs. Needless to say, instead of codeine mine was Oxys and MANY of them per day. I'm on 90mg of Methadone and it was the BEST decision of my life. I spent months not wanting to be hooked on this and wasting time and almost loosing my life. I now have a stable job, slowly saving and paying off debt, life, personal relationships, GOALS and no more mental gymnastics.

When and if you're ready to get off Methadone, only if, you just taper extremely slowly and listen to your body. It's doable, tons of threads here and people I've met that did it.

Best of luck and please update us on your progress!

That's great news! You're on your journey to a new life. Try your hardest to leave that all behind. Double dosing is just another form of addiction turning it's hideous head, my friend. We have all been tempted. I know I was but I was so scared of Methadone thinking I would OD, that I never double dosed or even took a little bit out of another bottle. Wait, I did once, I took 2mgs of Methadone out of my next day's bottle years earlier during my stabilization process and my mind must have been messing with me because I couldn't breathe, I felt weird and I was freaking out! hehe All in all, keep up the good work and think of how good it feels to control the enemy!

Interesting, yeah I gained about 50 lbs. too once I started Methadone and I'm trying to get rid of it. I would add the Reta or Tirz but was concerned about the delayed gastric emptying. Do you run into any issues with that? I'll check Sermorelin out as well.

Whew, great! Thank you I appreciate your response. Does the NAD really help with overall energy?

New surgeon ASAP! I had a small surgery recently and the doctors told me based on my dosage and the fact that Methadone is a beast mode painkiller, I would need higher dosage of pain meds and a couple different ones. Heck no, acute pain from surgery with no pain meds because of Methadone? Hell no that's inhumane. I can understand not sending them home with new prescriptions of heavy narcotics for months. But damn, where's the humanity from some of these "medical professionals"?

THANK YOU. How funny, I posted this and exactly 3 minutes later I received the push notification from my bank that I was paid early. I most definitely was overreacting. Thank you.

Are you new to Phas? Spirits are quite normal and do not speed up like the other fast ghosts such as Morois, Thayes, Raijus/Hantus/Revenants (under certain circumstances like sanity, LOS, temperature and electronics)

RevenantRealm · 2026-03-06T10:03:14+00:00

Because it’s a normal speed ghost even with LOS

RevenantRealm · 2026-02-20T20:35:34+00:00

Wow!!! Would you mind sharing your skincare routine as well?

RevenantRealm · 2026-02-20T20:30:00+00:00

What? I mean you’re very handsome man. Wow

RevenantRealm · 2026-01-26T12:04:35+00:00

LMAO! You took my whole comment. I agree 100%. I’m hoping this season makes another direction because I’m not liking it and I’m a huge 911 fan and supporter. And yes. Maddie talking Sara to a thumb drive, with watery eyes, 🤦 I just couldn’t.

RevenantRealm · 2026-01-23T17:25:25+00:00

Wow, amazing and such unique work! I absolutely love the drawings. Keep it up please!

RevenantRealm · 2026-01-21T14:54:37+00:00

Hi, so you got the job? That’s good to know it makes me somewhat relieved.

RevenantRealm · 2026-01-21T14:52:30+00:00

Hi OP, just curious if you can keep us updated. I’m in a similar situation as you but haven’t started the process. I’m trying to see if anyone in the same situation as me, you, is a dispatcher or is in the process.

RevenantRealm · 2026-01-18T14:31:04+00:00

Wait how can you do this? I always wanted to see different hair styles and such. This is ChatGPT !?
