How to begin methadone treatment for opiate addiction?
My husband and I are seeking methadone treatment for our addiction to opiate pain killers. We have been taking opiates daily for almost 2 years. My husband and I start at 2 Lortab 10 mg and go from there. We take up to 10 pills per day. Not only do we take Lortabs, but we also get Percocets, Dilaudid, Morphine, Tylenol with Codeine, etc. I started taking such pills 6 years ago as needed after I had been prescribed Lortabs for muscle tension migraines resulting from a car accident. I never took them regularly until 2 years ago. It is very important that my husband and I seek help for our addiction. We began with prescribed pills, then sought them illegally. Not only are we destroying our bodies, but we are spending all of our money on these dumb pills I have the for a local methadone clinic and will call tomorrow to start. We are nervous and I am just wondering how the program works. Any details would help us greatly. Thank you so much... you are helping us get clean

Anyone out there on Methadone treatment?
I been on pain killers for a few years now and recently started going to a Methadone Clinic to get off of them. It really has helped, I have not bought any in two weeks which is a record for me. The methadone has strange little side effects though. For instance if Im not active, like sitting in my seat not doing nothing i will doze off and have these weird mini dreams that seem so real Or I will jump in my seat as if i was about to fall asleep but quickly startled my self awake. There is nothing about this in the pamphlets i received when i started getting the methadone. So my questions or questions are If you do take methadone do you have anything like this happening to you? If so how long did they last, if they have stopped?Also how long did it take for them to get your dose high enough no pun intended to last you till the next dose?
