I Am Slowly Getting Off Methadone. Worried About the Withdrawals… Help?

Question by TedDanson: I am slowly getting off Methadone. Worried about the withdrawals… Help?
OK.. I was addicted to the painkiller Oxycontin for a couple years. It is an opiate, (which of course I didn’t know when I started using it) and is basically just as addicting, or maybe even more addicting than Heroin.

I wasn’t a guy who got in accident and was prescribed it or anything. Actually I was a successful drug dealer who had a lot of money to blow on these stupid pain killers which I snorted up my nose. I never wanted to believe I was addicted to this stuff, and actually self detoxed 9 times throughout a 2 year period, always relapsing around the 3 week, 1 month mark, because I couldn’t take the depression and boring-ness of normal drug free life. Eventually I decided to change my life around and stop selling drugs. When I started working a normal job, making normal money there was no way I could financially support my PK addiction. So knowing that self detoxing will only result in re-lapse, I checked into a methadone maintenance program.
