WARNING ! (Questions on tapers for Experienced)

Posted by Festus on October 11, 2005, at 23:40:12

Howdy Folks, I just noticed the Thread Title I put down,it's kinda goofy.I suppose goofy is right on track with my brain responses these days.I'll try'n condense this"Substance History":
1969-1989>Beers,joints,tablets,powder,yyeechh!!
1989-1996>Quit ALL Alcohol(1989-Present),Powder,tabs,ONLY Klonopin and a few Darvocet,oh yes,and Weed.Got"Back to Nature"
1996-2000>HERE WE GO:Cumulative accidents cause major pain issues,get on Tylox,Vicodin,more Klonopin and the Weed is stopped.
2000-2003>ENTER:OXYCONTIN.Starting at 10mgx2,the dose climbs by surgeries,tolerance,gets up to 80mgX8-10 a day(720-880mg)
2003-Present)Went in first week of 2003,from avg.800mg Oxy to 60-100mg Methadone,overnight because Company CANCELLED Px Cards.(Oxy would have cost $1,650.00 a mo.)After about 3-4 weeks of titration,we go with 20mgx4 on the Methadone.It was at this time they(Dr.s)confirmed that I had ADD.The Methadone"Droopies"were so bad,my Doc Px,ed Adderrall to keep my head off the steering wheel.After starting the Stims,I told the docs about it and they did them tests,so there I was.
The Methadone is a potent pain med,but it takes everything out of me.I've gone down to 50mg a day(Got back to the Weed to assist)on the Methadone,but I,m still stuck on this agenda:
Methadone-50mg
Dexedrine-60mg
Prozac-20mg
Xanax-0.5x3
These are daily.I also get 100mg of Testosterone through IM injection weekly.I still use the Weed for nausea and insomnia,I'd rather do that than take more pills.If I were going to try and stop this regimen of drugs,what would be the BEST way to do it???THAT IS MY QUESTION.
DOES ANYONE KNOW OF RESOURCES TO CHECK,HAVE PERSONAL EXPERIENCE,ETC.,on how this could be done? Thanks,Festus
