I would like to set up this treatment method for chronic fentanyl addiction/dependency, I am nearly 31, I am in good health without any health problems, but I have been struggling with opioid addiction for 15 years now. I've tried methadone, Suboxone, and began smoking fentanyl thinking I could cold turkey or titrate off of the fentanyl pills faster and easier than my 170mg methadone dose two years ago, but I have tried and failed time and time again, so I am back to smoking around 20 of these pills a day...the last time I tried I overdosed myself on Xanax bars, Tylenol pm, and sleeping pills on the 9th day, but slept only 30 minutes, and had been able to eat only 3 times over that period, just one time without throwing it back up, and I was miserable, I remember thinking that if I could just stop the constant restless legs, get some damn sleep, and eat this could actually be possible...before blacking out because of the Xanax...but still even then, I slept no more than 30 minutes from restlessness..I thought it wouldnt be much worse than heroin and I could do it, I was WRONG. I don't want to feel in this position where I have to somehow accept that I will have to just do this the rest of my life, because I refuse to, but i truly do not want to have to TRY and get back on methadone again...that's the other thing...I had tried even that too for about 3 months but they took so long to raise my dose that I developed a tolerance to 150mg of methadone and that was ON TOP of smoking just the very same number of pills I'd been using prior to returning to a methadone clinic. I've made sure to wait months and months between them and now, fearing PAWS from the methadone and an even then prolonged suffering at the time of detoxing, I have NOT used ANY methadone for approximately 6-7mo. Please let me know if you are able to help me, and if that be so, please contact me ASAP as to the soonest I would be able to go to wherever I need to to do this, and get some more questions answered for my father, who has agreed to try this one last thing to help me before he gives up and moves away...thanks for your time,
