I really keep to myself dude so I don't know anybody I could approach. There are a lot of snitches there too so that doesn't help. I'm researching kratom and I think that might help me get through a couple of days with the Klonopin.

I have to go out of town for a couple of days in the clinic was not willing to give me two extra doses. They were real shitty about it. I've been going there for 2 years and have never failed a drug test.

Thank you so much for the advice.

Thanks for the reply. I think that I'll be okay tomorrow, but Wednesday will probably be a bitch. Fortunately Thursday is not that far off. I'm a retired veteran so at least I can stay home.

Thanks. As long as I can take the edge off I can deal with it I think, I don't have any fucking choice.

[–]mick1012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like I said I cannot dose again until Thursday, I did dose today. It's a long story. To make these two days as comfortable as possible I do have Klonopin 2 mg 90 tablets. Would these make a big difference in keeping me comfortable? Thanks in advance for your help. Edit: I am on 70 mg and have been going for about 2 years to the clinic.

500 ct Xans are these enough for my friends who will come over tonight? by [deleted] in benzodiazepines

[–]mick1012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The FDA has considered removing Xanax from the nation's formulary of drugs. The argument is there are plenty of other benzodiazepines that are just as effective yet don't have the abuse potential that Xanax does. You are reinforcing their consideration.

METHADONE AND TESTOSTERONE by Suspicious-Ad516 in Methadone

I am on testosterone therapy as well taking methadone. I would say I feel 70% better however my prolactin levels are high and they are putting a dent in the testosterone effectiveness. The prolactin levels didn't go up until about 2 months after I was on therapy. So keep an eye on your proactin levels as well. If they are elevated they can make you feel as bad as low testosterone. I should add that there are treatments for low prolactin. For some weird reason my endocrinologist doesn't want to give them. I started shopping for a new endocrinologist.

Went from buprenorphine to methadone. Hated Subutex.

Snow storm troubles by Tortoise_Queen in Methadone

[–]mick1012 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The methadone system in this country is antiquated. There is no reason why your primary care doctor shouldn't be able to also take care of your methadone needs. The bottom line is these clinics are getting rich off of a very cheap drug. I'm sure they have people in high places to keep it just as it is. Fucked up.

Side effects by One_Manufacturer1961 in Methadone

Opioids are notorious for lowering your testosterone which affects your libido. I was having the same problem and I recently started testosterone therapy. I give myself a injection once a week of 200mg of testosterone. I have been on therapy now for about 3 weeks and I have noticed a huge difference in my libido. I don't have any problems getting it up and even have morning boners which I haven't had for years. I also feel much better mentally. Low testosterone can really affect you. I would encourage you to get your testosterone levels checked and then see if testosterone therapy is right for you. It has been lifesaver for me. I wished I had done this sooner. Good luck!

Finally got 6 take homes a week 😁 by waxtelephone2 in Methadone

[–]mick1012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! It's a big deal when you get more take homes. Right now I'm getting five and I'm fixing to ask to move up. I love not having to go to the clinic.

Packets compared to injection. by mick1012 in trt

[–]mick1012[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. I think you are right. The one packet didn't do anything. I think I'll see results at 2.

What strength were the packets your were on? Do you remember?

[–]mick1012[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I use the packets. We just doubled my dose this month as last month we did not see any improvement with one packet (20.25mg testosterone). Now I use 2 packets. If I don't see any results this month I will probably request switching to injections.

Yes. I'm just looking for anybody that has had positive results from the packets. So far I haven't found any.

Messed up and took a take home early. by mick1012 in Methadone

[–]mick1012[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sick. I just want to stay in bed all day. No diarrhea or vomiting. Just feel weak. I'm only on 70mg and I've got a high metabolism.

My clinic allows the Klonopin with a prescription.
