Methadone to Buvidal
So I have been on and off drugs most my life. Mostly heroin but I've done just about everything. I was clean for about 15 years but moved back to Glasgow & ended up back on it. I was almost 50 by this time & thought I just can't do it and went on Methadone for the first time in my life. That was 7 years ago and I feel like it's the worst mistake I ever made.
I ended up on 90 ml. Got it to 60 and stopped. Had a major relapse about a month ago and thought I can't do this. Cut down to 30 this Sat, Sunday, Mon and Tuesday had nothing. Today I had my first weekly injection (Buvidal is basically a Subutex injection that lasts 1 or 4 weeks), do 2 more of them & then go to monthly. Goal is to be clean by Xmas. However I am right now still feeling all over the place. The Buvidal is definitely doing something but it's possibly still maybe having traces of Methadone in me that's making it harder than I thought. I read it can take 3-6 weeks to fully come out your system.
Anyone had any similar experiences or any advice. Looking to be off everything for Xmas and this really seems like the best option for me. If I never have to go through withdrawals again for what's left of my life I'll be happy as hell
