I have been battling opiate addiction for 14 years now. In 2006 I was given my first narcotic pain medicine ever. I had shoulder surgery and since have had 5 total between both shoulders. I have also broke my back twice since then. The pain in my back got so bad the doctor gave me fentanyl and oxymorons for breakthrough pain. I was on both for 6 years. 2 years ago I entered an outpatient program. They give me methadone. It took me going up to 150mg to not feel any withdrawal symptoms. I am now going down in dose. I tried 3mg a week and when I hit 141mg withdrawals set in and we went back up. So now I do a 1mg a week drop. It’s working extremely slow but working. I am now at 122mg as of this message. Will drop again next Thursday Oct.29. 
I really want and need off of the narcotics.
