Tina,

I should caution you that with a minimal opiate intake like 1 15 mg tablet a day for only 5 months should cause very little if any discomfort. Methadone is designed for users with years and decades of very high opiate or opioid addiction. I'm not discounting your usage but I doubt any real methadone clinics will even accept a minimal habit because methadone is hard to get off of, FAR HARDER THAN 15 mg of morphine daily. I would rethink your plans and talk to some who have experienced the horrors of long term methadone use. I myself am one.

Your best bet is to contact your local hospitals social services dept. they could refer a facility to best address your needs. Stay clear of methadone and suboxone clonodine is an effective treatment protocol for opiate dependence. Best of luck

Should I just go cold turkey? I have some clonidine low dose. I know I must be careful with it. I have a blood pressure cuff. I can't stand this anymore... I feel like I'm going crazy. Thank you for your reply.

Tina,

Low dose clonidine will definitely assist you. Along with OTC pain relievers like Ibuprofen will help with the aches and pains. It won't be easy. Monitor your bp and if it gets to intolerable you can always reach out for medical assistance. I understand your anxiety and sheer frustration to get this over with. You can do this. I send you all my best. Post back if you need anything. My name is Kenie.

I am now taking 1 in the morning. My withdrawals start around 7pm and have to take another. That's 2 a day. 30 mg. I have tried going off n for 3 days with clonodine I couldn't take it any more. I know it could be more mg. But even at that does it's very rough. Thanks for your reply.

medical marijuana - my son broke his neck in June of 2016 and this is what he did to get off of them and it works very good and then you could stop smoking if you want after like a week and you'll be fine.

I cannot smoke marijuana as it makes me paranoid. In withdrawals now day 5 off morphine...real weak. Taking clonidine in the AM and PM, still rough. This is bad psychological hell. Crying spells last night and sweats. Not thinking straight. Body is not hungry. Going to sleep now.

It's because you're only taking one a day! They last UP to 12 hours but often closer to 8 hours. You need one morning and one night or of course you will spend part of every day in withdrawal. Your doctor is an *****.
