It pains me to read these. Look into Chinese medicine and acupuncture. Liver detox is very helpful ... wild harvest brand milk thistle/dandelion blend is very good. Hot water, lemon and honey thru the day. Try not to eat to much meat; veggies and brown rice is very balancing.....also miso.... I worked in a clinic and miso is an excellent liver detoxifier ..... I'm so sorry ... try to find some reason to love yourself; easier said then done my love

Can anyone tell me when I can switch to Suboxone? I have been on methadone for 2 days, and I.T does work for WD’s, but the biggest problem is I have to travel an hour each way to get dosed. I have an appointment for a Sub clinic tomorrow & just wanted to No should I miss my dose of methadone in the morning?
Currently taking 25MG of methadone for only 2 days.
