Opiate Withdrawal
"I&#039;m currently 27 years old, and my first opiate I tried and fell in love with was Hydrocodone. I got addicted almost instantly, I was on it for a total of 2.5 years, dosing 100mg daily.
Then I got into Oxycodone, from 2 reasons, tolerance and potency, used Oxy for 3 years, using 180mg daily. Then I went on to Diamorphine, using it for 1.5 years. That&#039;s 7 total years of heavy Narcotic use. My withdrawal almost killed me from dehydration, stayed in the hospital for 3 days, until I got discharged to go to the Methadone clinic by the RN. My insurance doesn&#039;t cover Rehab, so Methadone was my only option. I can say this proudly, that Methadone saved my life. From chasing the pills just to &#039;feel good&#039; to having a beautiful wife and family."
