> It's not surprising that you'd be extra depressed comming off of that much oxycontin. Are you also suffering the physical symptoms of withdrawal? Those are rough. So the methadone isn't working for you, you want to get off of it? Maybe 10 mg three times a day would work better? Good luck.I had less physical symptoms than I anticipated. I think they gave me something like closipan (sp?) and I was locked in a hospital so I had no choice but to get through it. Also the first day (out of three) they gave me 10mg of valium every 4-6 hours and shots of something for nausea. Then they cut me completely off of the valium and I was discharged the next day.
Are you still self medicating your depression and other symptoms with opiates? I keep debating between opiates vs unilateral ect to get me back home and back to my business. I think you are taking buprenorphine, if I remember correctly. (?) I think I am going to order that and see if it helps with my depression, but that's going to be more of a future potential resolution.shelli
