Well let me start out saying that I am on day 2 and I have to go 1 more day and then I will be on methadone. I am doing okay right now, but I am scared that it is going to be really hard later tonight and tomarrow. I was perscribed Tramadol a while back, is it okay for me to take it, and will it help me with my withdrawl symptoms? I just can't wait til Wens. I have my 1st dose at 7:30 am. I can't wait.

If I were in your shoes, I would ask for suboxone instead of methadone.

As far as taking tramadol, that's a question you should ask your doctor.

Good Luck!

I have been on suboxone for 6 years, and my dr. decided to cut me down very fast all of a sudden about 2 months ago, he is going down 5 pills a week. It was getting to the point that I was getting sick, really sick every week. I mean I have a daughter, and I can't even get out of bed to take care of her, it got really hard. My other dr. thaught that it would be better to go on methadone for about 6 months and then cut down VERY slowly, slow enought to were I would even notice it. I will also get the counciling and the differant kind of meetings that they offer there. I don't have that when I am on the suboxone. I think that if you don't take suboxone for a LONG period of time, then that stuff is really good. But it wasn't working for me anymore. Thank you for the advice.

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
