| |  On My Way - I'ts MY Life
Pam, thank you. This wouldn't be happening right now if it wasn't for the long talk we had tonight. One think you said I wont forget, it's my life.
Robert, I have been at 8.5mgs for some time now, I am going to try dropping down to 7 tomorrow morning (and stay there for about 10 days) unless you say otherwise.
I'm really not feeling any discomfort at all. Just not quite as energetic. But that's what Red Bull is for, right? 
Not sure what happened with the penicillin thing. Not even the doctor knows. ~Heather |

LOL! That's a good thing though, I really stuffed myself yesterday, It was my mom's B~Day so my brother bought us all dinner, I had some fried walleye and catfish and all the good sides along with it. I literally felt sick cause I ate so much. right now I am just playing around on the net watching The Chelsea Handler Show) |

I almost feel like /i've been enlightened? Make any sense? I prayed really hard for something, and when the pain I was praying to make go away, actually did, it's like I have a whole different perspective. I've never felt quite like this before. Even last night, and I know this is probably just from tapering, I felt like my old self again. Chuck and I laughed, and I was being funny, and it was like this whole methadone thing never happened. For about 20 minutes it was like it never existed.

Heather~ That's so awesome that you are feeling back to your old self. It's such a relief isn't it??? Good to hear you are laughing and getting along with Chuck. I'm sure he's a good man. So keep up the good work,and don't stop what your doing. There is always going to be a bad day every now and then, and we have to let ourselves take a moment and just breath and do whatever it is that helps calm you. But...you sound so happy, so that makes me happy. Congrats girl!!! |

Oh well, I think I did the right thing

Still feeling good on my 7mg taper today. I took it at 11am. its now 11pm. lol. I'm gonna fly through this no problem. Ive dropped 8mgs in 20 days. The very first time I reduced my dose, I went from 15mgs of methadone down to 10mg. 15 days later I am at 7mgs. Gonna stay at 7mgs for about 8 days. I think 10 is a lil too long. Maybe when I get to the tiny dose's I will have to use the full 10 days, maybe a couple more. But I'm not giving up.

Day 2 on 7mgs. Still feeling good. Actually, like my old self again. No more wirey high...when I laugh it feels good, not fake. The constant irritability is gone. Chuck and I are even ***MORE*** in love. (Didn't think that was even possible) And he's so happy that I am finally doing this. So am I. Robert...how are you?? Haven't heard from you at allllllll....
