- If you're thinking about going on one of these opiate maintenance medications, (think again!) & WATCH THIS VIDEO FIRST. Here's a piece of my story of a decade long battle with them, and the aftermath I am dealing with(3 years sober!!!). This is no joke, and I encourage people to PLEASE comment below with your struggles. Is there anyone else hooked on these nightmare drugs, dying to get off but can't?? Please-reach out here. Talk to me. The struggle is real, I know! I fought tooth and nail trying to wean myself off, using heroin and other drugs in place of these, but always coming back because the detox never seemed to go away. Now I'm 3 years clean and I cannot figure out why my body is ERUPTING from the inside OUT. I've tried just about every acne cure known to man-and I'm left to wonder if the cause is from these medications I took for so many years that are purging from my bones through the surface of my skin. I've been told it's 2-3 years for alcohol to purge the body after long time use, and 3-5 years for drugs. This video had a pretty good filter I wasn't aware of so do not be fooled-i have WELTS all over my face and body, that will not go away no matter what I put on them or supplement I take (for my liver/or to speed up detoxification). It's a process I have had to make peace with, that is going to take the time it will take. But if I can educate anyone else along the way, then it was all worthwhile. I hope this helps anyone else struggling /or maybe you know someone who is still on this and can't get off? Please get in touch with me if you need to. I'm here to help in any way I can. Please read my blog I’ve just started too at
www.3rdeyeaddict.com !! Come along on this journey!!! I’m gonna be sharing my story on subs, the solutions I’ve found along the way and SOOO much more-like how our Chakras directly correspond to addiction, which chakras affect which parts of our life and how if u have a BLOCK in one of them (or MANY usually) then you’re gonna be experiencing all SORTS of crazy issues even affecting your ability to earn money and have a healthy relationship! Sooo interesting how things from our childhood get lodged in our chakras messing up SO much in our bodies, or even affecting how we can’t get sober!!! It’s all true and VERY mysterious, but it doesn’t have to be a mystery!!! Come along and learn with me. I SO WISH we were taught these things early on, but I’m trying to spread awareness and contribute to helping our society be more open to these things, that this is ACTUALLY WHATS HAPPENING TO OUR BODIES!! U don’t need to see a million Dr’s who only tell u “nothing’s wrong you’re crazy just stop using drugs wtf”🤷🏼♂️ !!🙇🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️no more suffering in agonizing frustration any longer, you can get proactive and learn what’s going on in your body! I’ve just started it so bare with me, SO MUCH MORE TO COME ! So please follow me on

don't know you, but your acne is the last thing I see when I look @ you! I see a strong, intelligent, beautiful, survivor! rock on gorgeous!
Melanie Torres I feel the same, but you said it better! She is so healthy, beautiful, obviously intelligent and full of life.
Not sure about the medium thing, but if it's taken with a grain of salt it's ok. Sometimes they're there for wisdom and objective advice. That's ok.
Melanie Torres same here! And I'm so proud of you! You are a hero, thank you for this very important video. And tones of hugs, I'm on Percocet myself (4.5 years now). Scared about what's going on in me. It really does kill you're insides. :(
Yes she is beautiful and strong!
AD NYC her skin looks bad but thats not what they were talking about....boy arent you an immature, narrow minded shit
I think you havea beautiful face. Great job quiting Sub

Congratulations on your sobriety ! So many never get the chance.
they have one they just wait so long to take it they die
Paige Steele really, believe it or not YOU are in charge of your destiny. so fucking grow up
You should not make a videos of methadone etc substances,what can save ppl lives just because you have a shitty genes wich are kicking out now after the shit what you put into ur body is getting out.. you made a choice to become an addict,this face is the aftermath of that party now.. I've seen ppl who take methadone to keep it straight,do not fall into the needle again and thanks to this,they can more or less function without needle.. this is what you get for being an addict! Stop ranting
Actually the force of addiction is not controllable you insensitive, judgemental douche! I pray that this woman stays strong she is one in a million. She has more balls then you in a million years. See she is helping people telling them the truth. What you did was tell her grow up. No you need to grow up until you are a full blown heroin addict. You have no room to talk so bounce. You go girl. I pray that Jesus heals this woman from inside out. Shalom!
Conspiracy Nikkikimmi listen fuck face you can't tell me jack shit about addiction. I was on gear in mid 60s to 80s and all in the vein. main lining.Ive been addicted to more drugs than I care to remember. But just like everything we do.it is our fucking choice. And to make a video about woo oo woo my skins not good. Is a fucking liberty Go to your local children's leukaemia ward. Then tell me how brave this ugly self righteous bitch is
If you've been off the meds for three years I don't think this is related. This is something hormonal.
Mary Emilio 3 months not years mate
@@bracoop2 no its years, but either way ppl are not getting the point that this certain "medicine" has the ability to be stored in your bones where it could take years for it to be removed naturally, and it hasnt been studied bc its only been on the market since 2004-2005
Ask Miname
Methadone has been around a LOT longer that 15years. The new fad of (eating clean)natural living, sugar/gluten free,Keto etc.has people feeling great and healthy which is great don’t get me wrong I’m happy for them but they tend to assume it’s somehow just the gluten in their favorite foods like cereals or pizza. If you stop eating those things because of 1 ingredient and feel better I’m pretty sure It’s not just that 1 thing that was in said food. Like everyone who’s stops having a sugar diet so therefore stops the ice cream,candy,chocolate soda ...... ya of course it’s the sugar but it’s also ALL the other things in each of them like EVERY single other ingredient. But I’m getting off point. My point is that if you feel your body is all of a sudden starting to react to something you stopped year(S) ago but just started something different than you’ve ever done 1year ago then you got to look into maybe a mixture of both of if your taking the natural toxins out is probably what is going to run its course. I hope everything works out for you! Congratulations on your sobriety. I feel ya with the horror of addiction and what it does to you and your body but it is possible that other things can cause damage even if it’s something you’re not stealing for to shoot up everyday.
I totally agree

I hope you’re doing well and still clean
, yeah I thought it was funny that the other people say I've been clean 2 years and they're on methadone good Lord and I agree I agree that kicking you know Pharmacy ceutical opiates are heroin is a walk in the park methadone or dolphin hydrochloride was created by German scientist so the shot up Nazis could go back in and fight and was never meant to detox I think would I think what this girl's suffering from matter fact she's beautiful maybe it's my camera or and she may anyway maybe she should count our blessings and go look at a lot of people don't so obviously you're a beauty queen and you want to be perfect but forget those little Temple flaws I think it's your nerves and when you were on dope you weren't as high strung anyway hope you're still sober and you are sober
An addendum to the German scientist that created methadone dolphine hydrochloride they call it dolphine to immortalize Adolf Hitler why didn't they call Hitler
Methadone saved my life. Everyone's story and journey is different.
Acid fam works
Same.. was on heroin for around 9-10 years and ill never go back down that road..
same here addict 18 years been on methadone 15 months tapering off want b completely substance free someday but whatever helps u do it
Saved my life too. Im 14 months clean after using daily for 11 years. We do recover!! The only negative aspect of methadone is the amount of weight I gained. But it only happened once I stopped using. In the beginning when I was still using and on the clinic, I didnt gain any weight. But still.. it's worth it to be sober especially because I have a 1yr old boy who needs his mommy.❤💜💙
Saved my life too
I don't know....I see a beautiful strong woman who was able to overcome nearly impossible obstacles, when I look at your face. No "cover girl" face model can ever compare. I know you can't see it, but you would be surprised how many of us can!
You are a beautiful strong woman.. Your face is GORGEOUS. Detix your face with activated charcoal. Rinse in cool water to close pores. Moistures with a SPF. That is my regimen.. Congratulations on your sobriety. 😘
Charles Hamilton beautifully said. I'm impressed and seeing strength. I have been through a similar life, and I'm not that strong... So she gets a humbling bow and slow clap 👏 from me.
Charles Hamilton what a lovely comment. Ppl like you give me faith in humanity.
I totally agree with the nurse that left a comment. I am 45 started using heroin at 25 , 20 yr addiction. Have been on methadone and successfully came off properly. Then started using again, next time round went on suboxone it saved my life, you cannot use on it. You are incorrect, methadone gets in ur bones suboxone does not !
I have been 5yrs clean now , off EVERYTHING suboxone included. Suboxone is so much easier to reduce and come off than methadone, if done CORRECTLY. It must be a gradual titration.
Please stop using your scare techniques to discourage addicts from going on the program.
This may be your experience however the majority of people who choose suboxone are successful.
It sounds like she has major issues with her thyroid!
amen! So true!
Bingo!!!! I was just going to say that. What she showed as hair loss is less than what I loose with my thyroid being treated.
Yes, please get your thyroid checked! Also Vitamin D? Biotene (sp?) B17 all Bxs, gosh get all vitamin thrive eorkups. I have hypothyroidism since my 20's. I'm severely low in Vitamin D and can't seem normal. I'm half bald now, sore all over my scalp that ooze. I've got an autom-immune thing bullous pemphigoid (rare where my skin breaks out in blister, then sores) I've had 2 toenails come off just by clipping them. I have severe fibromyalgia plus others so I'm a chronic pain patient. Halloween fell and dislocated and broke my left shoulder, could do surgery because I had blood infection starting to shut kidneys. Please get checked and thnks for your info!
moonchildnme I’m so sorry for everything that you’re going through. I pray that you start healing & get better!
I've been on Suboxone for 3 yrs now, had tapered down to 1/4 every 3 to 4 days but than I had a relapse so I returned to the Dr and they put me on a dose that I feel comfortable with at the moment.
But yes I went through the same thing with hairloss only it wasn't Suboxone causing it it was my thyroid. I had the same problem back years ago so when it happened I kinda knew what it could possibly be so I went and got my thyroid rechecked and that's what it was.
Back to Suboxone yes if you follow the program it can be a life saving program but you've got to do what your supposed to and it will work. The thing is you've got to realize your triggers and try to avoid them. I don't know where I would be today if it wasn't for Suboxone. But what people need to realize what works for one person doesn't necessarily mean it work for the next person, everyone is different and what works for them is different.
thank you, after 3 years on sub you have convinced me to begin detox starting right now. I am 21 been on sub since I turned 18. I'm taking the first step. starting now

Zach Kern did you do it? Genuinely curious.

Zach Kern I'm sorry but if subs are keeping you sober then so be it .

She is very pretty

Organic Colostrum. ..please try !!!!! It will cleanse you while rebuilding your immune system. It alone put me in remission and its my bone marrow it helped! !!
You can do this! I am 38 now and my sobriety date is 01 15 14, which means my 4 anniversary is fast approaching. I suffered acne, hair loss, weight gain, constipation among a host of other ailements while on methadone and while weaning off of methadone, I hated me. Relief will come. It has taken me 38 years, yet it happened. I finally found me and I loved me. I forgave myself and I realized I was happy for the first time in 38 years and I could do this by just being me. What you are going through is is all part of the process, all apart of your awakening, it is often the loneliest part as you shift from 3rd dimensional thinking to 4th dimensional thinking. You can do this, it is inside of you and has been all along. In the meantime though and in addition to meditation ot crystal healing or whatever you choose to use as an aid(s) in your transition, commercial products that I found helped are: Acidophilus (the refrigerator brands beat out all the others), since the medication messes with our hormone levels leading to acne, hair loss, irregular menstrual cycles, etc., "Lorne Vanderhaeghe" Estrosmart Plus, for a bit of applied self-confidence, 'Make Up For Ever' concealer (virtually sweat-proof), "Bare Minerals" Blemish Remedy foundation, "Indeed" Hydraluron and Retinol Reface (less than $25 each ), a 'Verilux' happy light to stimulate production of Vitamin D, fluids, fruit smoothies, fluids, and more fruit smoothies, and since digestion is tied to our mental health it really does improve 100% when we realize how perfect we are, however, " Microlax" works for the rough days without being too intrusive. I know no one thing is right for everyone, however, maybe one thing may be right for two. Wishing you the best of moments on your journey. All the answers are inside of you, inside of everyone. We all just have to admit we know absolutely nothing first, accept that we know nothing, then begin again with our realized knowledge that we all matter, I matter, you matter. And that true happiness is only realized after experiencing complete and utter despair, as one cannot exisit without the other. Keep taking care of you! You are perfectly perfect just as you are! You got this!
Ok everybody- coming off of suboxone is different for everybody. Everyone's entitled to sharing their experiences, but it's people saying stuff like "coming off dope is way easier than suboxone- I felt like I was on fire for 3 months" that kept me from jumping off. I was on suboxone for 3 years and I jumped off 3 months ago. The key here is tapering off properly, and if you do do that it's a mother F****ing walk in the park compared to coming off dope. I got chills now and then, and some stomach issues but the depression and wanting to literally throw myself off a balcony wasn't there. Maybe it was different for me, but these horror stories gotta stop. Spread positivity! We are all strong enough to get through it- we just have to be smart about it and stay positive as much as possible in a shitty situation. Your mindset and positive thinking will make all the difference. Peace!
Took the words right out of my mouth. Also if your body replaces every cell at least once a year how can it be in her bones? I don't think it stays in your bones for 3 years?
Was on 24 mg for 4 years....
She's more than qualified.... And who are you anyways? She can't have an opinion? And more than that there are a lot of people that agree with her? How old are you? Only kids ask that kind of stuff.
+Luke Allam .........42yrs old with a 19 YR OLD son and a 12 YR OLD daughter doesn't really put me in the "kid" category. Have a wonderful day...God Bless
I agree it's a lot. "Long term maintenance" is the name of the game these days and you can decide whether to go up or down yourself- that's how it is in Canada anyway. That was the highest I could be at without going to methadone, and near the end it wasn't near as effective if at all because my body had gotten so used to it.
I've been on methadone for 12 years now, and I must say, I agree with you. Methadone has caused everything wrong with my bowels, and my liver is starting to cause cirrhosis because of other medicines that I took with the methadone. My liver wants to kill me. Oh, and it doesn't actually ENTER your bones, lol. But It does feel like it with everything else
When I was on methadone I lived off of donuts, cereal, ic cream, fast food and milk! I didn't take anything else while on methadone. Got up to 110mg per day and went 10 days without using the bathroom. I almost went to the hospital because of this. I ended up making it through that but had to call in sick that day. Methadone was horrible on my digestive system!
Your face isn't like that from suboxone.. . if you had cystic acne when you were younger and then used meth and heroin, that's what it's from. I know a ton of people who are on suboxone and they don't have problems with acne. If you used meth, I'm sure you picked at your face.....however, you don't look like a monster. You're beautiful!!! Don't let this get you down when you have won the worst battle of your life!!! I would take a little bit of acne and sobriety over being an active addict any day!
VaderPack yeah my skin is beautiful and glowing and I've been on Suboxone for almost 5 years
She probably neglected her skin. She needs to go to a dermatologist. Maybe try exfoliating too?!
No guys, it’s not from the suboxone. It’s from years of constipation which is a side effect from the drug
Truth
You said that so much nicer then I was going to … and I wanted to also point out that maybe the bleaching of her hair is causing her hair to fall out and she’s in her late 30’s so her hair is going to thin depending on her genes .. taking opioid replacement drugs is a hell of a lot better then being in active addiction if she’s appalled by the toxins in the opioid replacements then I’m sure she can’t handle the toxins in the heroin or meth or coke or whatever she was injecting
You look way younger than 36!
I loose a lot of my hair also but mine is due to a thyroid issue, any possibility that you might have something like that?
I wish you all the luck in the world and hope you can find a solution soon
I agree! I've been through what she has and also have a thyroid problem. I'm hypothyroid, but I also believe that I have hashimotos thyroiditis (autoimmune disease) and hormonal issues. I've had acne since I was 11 and I'm now 29. I've done the AIP diet (started to help, but was too difficult ($)to continue doing. Working on cutting gluten, dairy, and sugar again. I'm on levothyroxine and widh I could afford to see a functional medicine doctor and be on a bioidentical medicine. I wonder if suboxone and subutex actually leads to thyroid problems. Something I will certainly research.
I agree as well. I have hypothyroidism as well. I had thick hair and it started to thin and you know when you get older your body changes.
Yesssss that’s what I thought! Doing drugs deff burns out the thyroid. Doctors misdiagnose thyroid disease so often. I was misdiagnosed for 7 years I felt like a walking zombie until I finally was like enough and did my own reasearch about it. The doctors had me on so many different meds that none of them even really made a difference. I did my own research ordered my own meds and now I feel like an actual human. I have never felt better. Lost weight got in shape and few amazing now. Crazy such a small organ can cause such havoc on the body!
Reeny MO I feel the same way...I'm always tired! I have gained soo much weight,but I honestly don't get exercise,due to my depression. I didn't leave my house for 7 months,this past Winter,early Spring. My hair is falling out,and I have acne for the first time in my life,at age 41! I think I'm gonna get my thyroid checked out,by a DIFFERENT Dr. Thanks!
@@TheLauren3305 what meds do u take now?
This is the most honest discussion I have heard. Congratulations on your achievement
I so agree with you she’s really great I Love her honesty!
THYROID IS DAMAGED
Lisa S agree. All sounds like hyperthyroidism.
Yes. That's why she is losing hair.
Damn, if that’s the reason for her breakouts and it’s just standard thyroid damage as a result of all the opioid blockers it is such an easy fix! Levothyroxine is one of the cheapest medications out there and can correct both hypo- and hyperthyroidism, she just needs some simple blood work to determine whether it’s an issue.
Absolutely!!!
you should do a follow video to see how you're doing now, your skin, your hair, everything. Thanks for doing this vid!! ;)
JustEva yesss! I agree
I appreciate your valor. You are still pretty. I will pray for you. God loves you and so do I.
There's nothing more beautiful then a sober woman stay positive
You're awesome! You could educate some of these bottom feeder boys how to be a REAL MAN! Your parents must be very proud of their son. #meanpeoplesuck
👍👍👍❤️☮️♥️🙏💯
The greatest comment ...
honey have you seen a Dr about hormones or early menopause?? lack of estrogen could cause some of this... hormone imbalances can fuck you up.
I'm so sorry... I've been through opiate withdrawals and I describe it as feeling like there's cold rain on my bones but my skin was on fire.
I currently take loperamide to keep cravings away but I have gastro issues as a result.. it's a horrible cycle
Cindy...would appreciate if you would contact me. I am 58 years old and pretty sure you are lacking in Essential Fatty Acids. Can help with many things. My whole life overcoming and learning how to be well. Hope to hear from you soon.
Ovarian cysts can cause these things too. Tho I haven't been on those drugs.
Jinx Winters yes. I assume It's perimedaopsuse.
im still struggling ..i feel like im never going to get there
yup, I agree with you. I think it's a hormonal reaction.
Still getting off methadone been sober almost 2 years wish me luck
Christina Peterson you got this babe
Thank You
Don't ever give up on yourself. You have the power to get over it and be done with it forever and be free. Don't forget that. Hope this comment finds you well.
Thank you
I'm on methadone right now and I been detoxing by coming down 5mgs every 3 weeks! I'm on 75mgs and I'm not feeling the detox effects yet but I'm scared to death ! I been on this medication for 6 years and it saved my life but I want to be clean from everything . I have no desire to use it's been 6 years I truly want to not be dependent on anything ! If you can help with any advice I'm all ears ! Congratulations with your sobriety you give pple like myself hope !!!!
I personally think you have cystic acne caused by hormones being outta whack...I know someone who went through the same thing. I certainly wouldn’t go the accutane route if I were you, but go get your hormones tested, if you haven’t already. Just my 2 cents worth! Congrats and awesomeness for your sobriety!!!! ❤️🙏✨
Don't try to diagnose like your a Dr. Just because you know someone who had acne doesn't mean thats the case with every person. Wow
Tammy Cannon yes it does. Acne is a presentation of what’s being put in the body or what’s going on with the hormones. It doesn’t take a doctor to know that.
Jan Marino I thought the same thing. Hormonal acne doesn’t respond to any topical treatments very well.
Exactly but methadone and Subutex cause harmonal change
I had cystic acne also and it came BEFORE I got on the Subs. I stopped taking birth control and my face enflamed something fierce. The only thing that helped and eventually cured the cysts was a medication called Luxiq for lupus patients, prescription strength benzoyl peroxide topical cream and a retinol cream used together. Couldn't go in the sun for 6 months but it worked well. The Luxiq worked immediately. I was like you- cried all the time, didn't want to leave my house and saw every single doctor in my state. I hope you got threw this without any damage to your self esteem!
First and foremost, congratulations on your sobriety. I think everyone’s body chemistry is different. I’ve been on methadone for 28 years and I’m 60 years old. If anything, my hair is thicker now than when I was in my 20’s. I don’t have acne or skin problems. I have had constipation issues with it but everyone does because it’s made to do that. I’ve been around hundreds if not thousands of people through my 28 years of this and have never seen anyone with the type of problems you’re having. I study this med closely because of my age. It sounds almost hormonal with the problems that you’re facing. This is an old post but it hit home and had to comment.
Do you think methadone is safer for long term use? I'm on suboxone and have been for a solid 4 yrs on and off since 2016. Not sure if I'm depressed or what but I have been motivated in like a year.
@@travissoff9521, I know that Methadone has helped me tremendously. I’m able to function in society and in my family unit. But Methadone helps me in 2 ways. It helps me stay away from the pills and plus it kills my pain. I’m a retired Bull Rider and have broken many bones and been beat to a pulp by them damn Bulls. Subs wouldn’t help me for that. Everyone is different when it comes to chemicals in the body. If you think you would start using again then you should stay on something like Subs or Methadone. I don’t know what your drug of choice was but it’s not worth going back to it. Try Methadone and see if it helps you more. People give it a bad rap but I’m living proof that I’m enjoying life instead of hustling to get pills everyday. Whatever makes you feel like you’ve made a change for the better is all that matters. Good luck with everything and listen to your thoughts not everyone else’s
I have been on methodone for 5 years now. 3 years ago my skin changed and weight gain and hair loss. But I'm 46 years old and my periods are 8 months apart. I'm depressed and my skin is slowly getting better. My bones hurt every morning no sleep. I'm lowering my doses every month. I been lowering every month for a year now. It's 27mg now So this might be why I feel awful plus menopause is starting I'm not sure but my body is crashing hard. I was good at 50mg but my Dr is retiring and he is the only Dr doing methodone program in my town. A major sinus infectionfor a year and candida overgrowth my mouth and skin very weird. Soon as I started lowering my dose every month. Worse when it was weekly I could not continue and even went up10mg to start all over lowering. I stopped wearing makeup until my skin healed. Now I just don't want to wear it.
Without suboxone I'd be dead.
100% better than cold off of full opiates.
Ziggy Rotten right I been on Suboxone legally 11years. I'm 30. Did dope since I was 14. The thought of withdrawal. Omg I don't know honestly. I'd die
Maybe it’s just my situation but isn’t the suboxone withdrawal much worse?
tom ob each person's different, consult your doctor and make sure that you taper as *slowly* as possible. and I think you will be fine.
But for me no Suboxone was way easier to get off then trying to quit heroin it either cold turkey or tapering myself.
tom ob bro just remember if you want to get off what goes up must come down I got off subs i lowered my dose to a crumb of a pill I would go one day without and keep taking a longer up to 15 days a lot of sub doctors will get you down to two mills and then say stop that won't work just do it slow and gradually and if you start it you don't need to take 16 mg
Yup. I’d be homeless shooting up rn without suboxone.
I think your very pretty and your personality is awesome....God Bless You Hun!!

I know this is probably the least of your worries but you look so good for your age! Especially for someone who has a past with drugs!!
kirakkat opiates slow metabolism enough that long time users who managed to not end up on the streets will hold their youth(provided they didn't do really any other types of drugs)
kirakkat right? My jaw dropped when she said she's 36. She looks amazing for her age, esp considering her decade+ of drug use.
I'm 32 and used off and on for 12 years. I've have been clean for 2 years now, most people think I'm 23-25. I never knew why I look the same as I did when I basically started using?
Right my thoughts exactly to that comment. Opioids rot your insides something terrible. Your liver, heart, stomach lining. Especially your teeth it weakens the enamel
AudreyDurden that’s not true! Opiates effects everyone differently and especially if they’re using Heroin. It can age you like meth cause my high school girlfriend was on heroin for 5 years and looks closer to 40 than 30 (she’s 32). It causes some to accelerate in age due to lack of sleep or picking at their face.
I've been clean from opiates since 2013, but have been reliant on subs since 2016. I DON'T want to be on them fur life, as my doctor believes I should be. I feel it's toxicity effects inside of me. Thank you fur posting this and giving me hope again! Namaste, sister!
@@SatanistJesus Get back on Cannabis only. Smoke the shit out of it if needed. But stay away from other drugs. Use Cannabis as a crutch. Salut!
Trust and believe your doctor doesn't want to get you off them just like mine didn't. They get paid from subscribing us medication from the big pharmaceutical. I begged my doctor I absolutely didn't want to do Suboxone anymore she gave me the least dose but warned me not to get off ..I called her a month later to tell her I was ready to jump off if she could give me clonidine or something to help me with the withdrawals she refused and told me I won't be able to go through the withdrawals....that alone made me rebel and jump off cold turkey. I went through 2 weeks long of acute withdrawals from Suboxone... insomnia, anxiety, tremors,cold/hot flashes, irritability, diarrhea, cramps, restlessness and absolutely no energy to do anything. A monthly later all withdrawals are gone except sleep deprivation and lack of motivation...it gets better though... good luck 🎉
I went to a methadone clinic to get clean.. Got my life in order but withdrawing from methadone omg took a whole month shit was horrible worst than any drug but 3yrs later still clean expect for my daily gorilla glue #4 ..but no seriously methadone works and will save your life..and will help you live a better than somewhere in the streets doing who knows what but just be prepared once you feel like your ready to finally stop the methadone it'll be hard but it'll show how you strong willed you are and life will be so much easier not having to wake up and first thing you have to do because you have to ...is refill your body with opioids..all opiods are heroin it's the main ingredient if some don't know but anyone looking to get clean be ready for a challenge don't give up hang with other friends who are recovering.. and plan for your future👌
Ri Keller I have a question that I'm curious of so did you just stop taking methadone all together and withdrawal that way or did you go through the program and go down all the way to 2 mg to 1 mg the way the treatment plan is and you were still withdrawing even after that I didn't understand your question I was just curious because I'm coming down from Methadone as well I'm on 24 mg and I'm just scared that once I get to 1 or 2 mg they're going to cut me off and I'm going to feel sick I was just curious to see what your answer was thanks
It took me 2 yrs to taper. If u taper right, theres no physical withdrawal. I had a bit of an anxiety spike for a cpl wks, but I already have anxiety :-) But everyone's different
I have been on methodone for 2 1/2 years I started at 60 mg and I’m down to 42. Some days the withdrawl is worse than others but I just tried to see the light at the end of the tunnel. And the thought of being completely off of it really scares me so I really wonder if I’m mentally ready to be off of it. My biggest problems are profuse and Constant sweating, and also the weight gain. I have put on about 70 pounds. Most of that was in the first six months to a year. And I also developed a sweet tooth. Nobody warned me about that part. For a while there I was eating ice cream all of the time. And I am not typically a sweet eater. I hope to get off of this and back to a normal life. I found out after-the-fact that getting off of the pills would’ve been easier than going through the methadone route. Hopefully someday. Because this shit is expensive too!!! And I very much appreciate you sharing your story. I do that as well whenever I am out and about. Since I’m always sweating a lot of people will make the comment about it being hot. I will say that’s not my problem. And if the Conversation is heading that way I will explain to them what I’m on and how I got on it and how I feel. I explain to them that I was taking pain pills for a legitimate reason it first and it got out of hand, and fast. If I can just save somebody from this hell I want to do it. I just want my normal life back. I really hope I get to a point where I’m not feeling crappy all of the time. I know I’m going to have some aches and pains because I am 45 years old, but just not the ones that you have from withdrawal
@@margaretnicole2778
You'll be ok. Just take it super easy once u hit 20mg. No more than 1mg/wk decrease, that's what I recommend. And u can stay at 1mg as long as u wish! What I did was just skip my take-homes & only dosed when I started feeling withdrawals. Eventually you'll get to where ur confident to stop. Even if ur only dosing when u go in for take-homes.
You can either dump the ones u miss, our have the nurse dump then when u go in. Just make sure they're still sealed if u choose this route. And ask ur particular clinic if they have any policies related to skipped take-homes.
I was at 1mg for 3mnths before I stopped! No physical withdrawals! Like I said earlier, I had some anxiety & sleeplessness for a cpl wks, but prob cuz I already have anxiety. If I was taking my Welbutrin, prob woulda been fine :-)
@@MichelleJ1822
Talk to ur Dr about lasix (rx diuretic/water pill), welbutrin (cessation med, can curb cravings for food & drugs & it's an anti-anxiety), &/or adipex (diet pill, prob need clinic apprvl but worth it). These are all great options to ask about when combatting methadone side affects & cant take benzos or control food/drug cravings. Make sure family dr & clinic both apprv everything :-)
Hope this helps sum
I would love to see an update! Don't ever give up hope! Your body will keep healing.
I would love you see an update. I've also went through similar problems. After getting completely clean my skin got terrible. So bad on my chest back and shoulders that I literally thought I was having some sort of reaction to something...I do know now that it was my body reacting to what I've put it through. Two years later it has improved however the scarring is terrible. I am two and a half years sober. I pray your still pushing strong.
Ur beautiful to the point i have tears in my eyes for you. Your face is besutiful to.
I look past your former non life, and am proud of your new clean life.
.... your inner beauty is... Words fail me.
Daryl C New Zealand
I think you are just beautiful! Stay strong and I’ll pray for God’s grace to lift you up daily.
Age 34 was when all the hormonal stuff happened to me and several other people I know around the same age. Then came adult acne, hair falling out, etc.
Diary of a Sickie I know. My hair thinned so bad after 30. Plus you lose 100s of hair a day. So if u only wash ur hair weekly there is gonna b so much build up. When I wash my hair weekly u should see the clumps of hair.
I just wanted to say, on a unrelated note.. DIARY OF A SICKIE, you are a super gorgeous gal. Just wanted you to know this.
I am almost off of methadone. I am on 8 milligrams now and am going down 2 milligrams every 2 weeks until I am done.
Jaimie Jansen you got this baby! And even though I don't know you, I'm so proud of you, so so proud! My mom died of a herion overdose when she was only 41, and I was 21. My son battled this, and is going on 2 years clean. Unfortunately i have 2 sisters that can't break free, so i know from watching how hard it is. Everyday will be different, but everyday please remember life is so beautiful (even when is not) And u hope of have a full life filed with love, and hope!
Jaimie Jansen oh wow fantastic!! I started on 50 mg of methadone like 6 years ago. I am prescribed it for pain management though. I am starting to taper off now. I’m at 35 mg. And going down. It’s a very strong grip and hurts so badly without it. But I’m scared of what it is doing to my body and what if we have a Emergency situation and can’t get to the Pharmacy to fill or etc? I don’t want to be tied to this anymore. I think it has its place but they should definitely get people right back off it once they’re finished with the detox from heroine and such drugs. They leave people on it too long and it’s just as dicey using it for people like me for pain management. But the thing is there isn’t enough oxy or morphine around to help people with long term pain management cuz you just keep going up and up on your usage. So I chose to do methadone to control it and have the pain management. I wish I had never started. And yes I have lost atleast half of my hair. And gained twice my body weight!!!
Proud of you. Keep up the good work
#oneyearclean in January ♡
thruErinseyes I have also lost half my hair and have fibro myalgia and am a little worried about the joint pain when I am off. But I just can't really afford it anymore either. And I hate being tied to it. It has been a hard journey but one that is so rewarding. I am proud of myself and appreciate all the kind words and encouragement!
itsfuckingalyx thank you so much and congratulations! I am so proud of you also!
I don't feel like your acne and hair falling out has to do with your recovery personally. You more than likely have other issues going on. Stress for one will do that.
Shilo Redger , Lol. You havent been taking drugs too long... Chemicals will make this ^ happen. Be warned. I didn't hear that from no fucking video or book either.
Lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Definitely something healthwise going on because myself, my best friend and several other friends who all got clean together are on suboxone and have been for as long as 11 yrs (for a few) and none of us have any of these issues.
This really it home and couldn't me more true..I struggled with opiates my hair is so scary, I lost so much its affected my life. Word of warning there is a natural powder called kratom. It's a team headshops sales. I've abused it because it helps with opiate withdrawal. Its actually terrible for you my hair and teeth have gone to shit,and heaven knows what shape my liver and kidneys are in. People hide behind kratom saying its safe, they even did a Netflix show on it. It's not I've taken it for a long time and I'm seeing the effects. Congratulations on your sobriety! And I pray your body heals. I have been feeling just what your sharing and then I stumbled on this!!I was in denial that kratom was destroying my body because I'm an addict. Thank you for being brave it may help others!!
@@ericamorgan8563 defo we dont know the whole story
I said the bones thing too. I can feel it. We are in tune with our bodies.
Don’t give up, and don’t give up hope.
All those toxins are trying to get out of your system.
You are on the right track.
Your skin really is not that bad. I have seen a million times worse. Hang in there. It shall pass. Good luck.
I think your still pretty, and stop being hard on yourself. Being hard on yourself made you use. Your beautiful, everyone gets pimples. I look beyond that. Thank god your not using anymore. Keep positive sweets. Your not alone.
Xoxo
what an awesome thing to say. You my friend are a gentleman and scholar.
You are a super nice guy Jake. God bless you sir!
I wish I had answers for you to ease your suffering, all I can do is pray for you. I know it sounds corny, but love the people that look at you with ignorance, they don't know what you are going thru so it isn't possible for them to understand. Don't let their ignorance become your shame, you have nothing to be ashamed of! You are strong enough to get off that crazy ride, when most others can't. Your "weakness" is really your strength, you just have to convince yourself you aren't the one with a problem. Easier said than done!, but not a problem for someone who can do what you have already done. Btw you are blessed to be in the position you are, relax. I understand, u aren't alone.
Congradulations!! I'm detoxing now at 40. Been an addict for 15 yrs. It feels great.
Hormones get all messed up from going on and off these things. The be had the same problems with my hair and been diagnosed with alopecia and acne. U sound like the female version of me lol. Good luck I hope all is good or getting better. I feel u big time and wish u the best.
Check your hormones mine changed after I got clean stay strong I stayed clean for almost 10 years
I agree opiates took a toll on my hormones especially testosterone but keep it up your beautiful stay strong get blood work
I wish I could stop but always feel scared wen I think I won't have anything
jessica walsh I was just going to suggest this....being on a ton of meds for years as well as prednisone I had depleted all my hormones. Zero percent testosterone and yes women have that...lol anyway using also affects the thyroid!!! Go to your gynecologist and have your hormones and thyroid checked: your level should be under 1 for Thyroid! Good luck! I feel like a new woman...I still get some acne and almost like risens!
Jake Bliss- A thousand mile march begins with the first step-/Your call big yin as they say fae glasgoe.
People don't look at you with disgust. That's your low confidence speaking. Please believe me. Your gorgeous
Jake F thanks but not what I meant
Congratulations on getting clean. My sister went from 22mg of Suboxone down to 0.6mg now. No hair loss, no acne. Coming off has been easy as 4 her. Slowly slowly is the way. Last time she rushed it and felt like it hurt in her bones. U just gotta take it slowly. These medications save lives. Ur not going to od on them. Just wanted to add our story..... blessings to all of you who are touched by addiction 😙 xx
I was prescribed methadone for 2 1/2 years. I was an opiate abuser. I've been off of methadone for 7 months and I've never felt better and she's right about major side effects. My bones were greatly affected. I'm in the process of getting all my teeth done. I'm only 34.....
I'm right there with you. I'm 32
What about your hair ... My hair is starting 😭😭😭 to fall out.. .. .. im on a low dose I want off !!! .. can u help me
@Karen Britt I will check into it.. it's like I'm shedding everyday?!!

Agreed as well you are so Beautiful.....
You're so strong. God bless 😊
Boo Boo your beautyfull inside and out. Im you but 64 now. Healthy happy and thick hair. I am also a nurse. Please see an endocryn doc
Your thyroid is whacked. And many other hormones. Please see about a hormonal study. These drugs do not sink into your bones nor do they attach in any way shape or form. Love to you my sweet girl, and a good antidepresant wil also clear your skin..honest. Trust gramma nurse. Xx
Boo Boo I'm not strong enough now but it will be vary nice to see you beautiful man who has a normal life forever and our 👪 is so cute 🐰 and the kids to 🏫 today for my u tk
Your name scared me, TWICE!
Pat Sil Quick question...we do know scientifically that drugs “attach” to a human being’s hair, as hair is often tested for chemicals years later. How are you certain these meds do not affect or stay in the body otherwise? You’re a nurse so I’m surprised you would say that?
Pat Sil Your a God Send for her and others ! Thank you for all that great info !
You’re a warrior, I wish you the best ♥️
Your hair is falling out cuz ur stressed out.
I have the same story.
Cut my hair short & my thickness returned!!!! My stress was also reduced in half!
You cut your hair and your stress was cut in half ?
You need to drink more water. I've been down this road 180mg of methadone a day for 8 years. I'm clean and off of everything 15yrs and what you are going through will pass.
Michelle Wepplo
Wow, u give me hope! Bless you
You rock! May I ask what you were on before? I've had 14 surgeries (kidney removed after failed auto transplant, multiple bowel surgeries, multiple Gyno surgeries and more). I am on oxyneo and titrating down. I have chronic pain everyday and it works, but I dont like being on it. Im trying CBD oil and honestly I have noticed nothing. They have never mentioned methadone. Just titrating down until off.
Gracie Max I had high hopes for cbd oil but it did nothing for me.
Michelle Wepplo Hi Michelle, I too am on 180mg of Methadone. I have been on methadone for ten yrs. I am very interested in your story and how you got off. My story is complicated. I have a serious spine collapsing issue among many others. If you ever have a few minutes to chat my email is: pmichhayes@gmail.com
Facebook Messenger:Paula Michele Hayes @Paula.m.hayes.9
I really would appreciate if u had a few minutes and don't mind. No pressure tho. Take care!
I've been on methadone for about 10 years now and continue to slowly taper off of it....very slowly. It saved my life. I'd be dead if it weren't for Maintenance.
Thomas Eames same here. Been on methadone for 13 years. Been tapering for 2 1/2 years. It’s been great! I’m 9 years clean.
I take subs if youre taking any type of meds for opioid addiction you're not clean or sober it's a substitute hence "sub" . It's a lesser of 2 evils but definitely doesn't mean a person is sober by any stretch
Thomas Eames me too
I've been on subutex for 3 years and I'm doing great I was addict for 5 year before that I have none of these issues except for constipation which suppositories do great Miralax and s*** like that that's great I've never had a horrible acne because of it or anything
I've had nothing but a wonderful experience with methadone. It saved my life when nothing and no one else could. I'm sorry your experience wasn't the same.
SUNBURST dito. 8yrs clean
SUNBURST me, too. Congrats to you all. 👍
2 yrs here and yup me too
Same here.
5 yrs sobor. Methadone saved my life.
You aren’t sober if you are still on methadone! Who the fuck told you that?! You need to quit and seek God and get on an exercise program.
Thank You for sharing and caring. God Bless You and please Stay Sober. It is going to all work out.
Beautiful inspiring women! isn't afraid to speak out and share her story
I think I need to make a new video here -u guys have totally gone ape shit on some of these comments.. I'm just trying to help anyone suffering from adddiction as I WAS. If you don't like it-watch something else. Free country, freedom of speech too-- I am not a dr, pharmacist, or even someone claiming to be a nurse or have ANY MEDICAL background whatsoever... i'm just a drug addict in recovery that finally managed to break free of THE PRISON from the opiate maintenance program FROM HELL (I TOTALLY FEEL PAROLED!!!!) lol Only way for me was total abstinence. No "lowering my dose" or trying it with a benzo, or "only on weekends" LMAO 😂 this med is unforgiving and does not discriminate-(like any drug really) but my experience had me wishing I was dead on a continuous basis and I just wanted to be free from the prison and pain. If u have been on this longer than a year and find u can't get off---PLEASE DO NOT THINK THIS IS MERE COINCIDENCE U WATCHED THIS VIDEO...this is the road u are headed down if u stay on-it's so hard to get off this shit!!!!! I didn't care about my son , about my life- about ANYTHING but my drugs-- finally went to jail to have everything taken away to finally LEARN THE DRUGS WERE THE PROBLEM (then of course ME!!!) please listen to what I am telling you...this is no joke. This is My experience-nothing else, thanks.
I like your video. I think your video was raw, real, and full of true emotion you were expressing. Who's to say its all fact or bs. Its your video and your thoughts of how your truly feeling and your brave to put yourself out there like this. I applaud you, you are courageous for putting your true self out there. I also have been through a lot of bs in life, drugs, withdrawal, etc, etc. I'm know guru or medium but I feel I know a little about life in general. Have you ever heard "thoughts become things" or studied into the power of the sub conscious mind?
cindysuess johnson i still need metadhone, but sometimes i forget to drink it , but its okay
cindysuess johnson you ate completely right honey! i have been taking methadone for almost 8 years... and dr after dr has told me methadone does store itself in your body.... and will actually cause built up overdoses to happen it is a very long acting medication
I might be of some help. Ive been on opiates on and off for 8 years and have struggled with acne and depression since my teens. Cured both plus many more things by introducing probiotics on top of diet exercise and stress management and im not the probiotic pills or food you buy at the store im talking about actually fermenting your own food at home. 1 Jar of fermented cucumbers has something like 1000 dollars of probiotic supplements packed in it. Cheers hope you are doing better.
Cindy, the problem you're having is that you never tapered off the suboxone/subutex properly from what I understand. You have put your body through extreme stress by jumping off at too high a dose. Therefore, you would have experienced prolonged withdrawals because you're not just supposed to jump off suboxone unexpectedly. That's also why your skin would have been on fire for three months, etc.
By jumping off it without tapering, your cortisol levels fluctuate dramatically as well as your hormones and so on. I always recommend tapering correctly when coming off any opiate, as well as also using the vitamin C protocol.
Taking large amounts of sodium ascorbate and/or Liposomal vitamin C during tapering is by far the most effective way of getting off all opiates without experiencing withdrawals.
Basically, your body is still experiencing some negative withdrawal effects three years after ceasing suboxone/subutex because you never tapered. Suboxone also makes your hair fall out while you're on it but also afterwards if you don't taper, in my experience.
I highly recommend the following protocol for recovering and/or withdrawing off suboxone, subutex, or other such opiates properly.
opiateaddictionsupport.com/how-to-use-vitamin-c-for-opiate-withdrawal/
If you or anyone here has any questions regarding this protocol, please don't hesitate to ask.
I lost my mother, father, and brother to opiate overdoses. And have one brother on suboxone.
I myself am as clean as a whistle. I went the opposite direction as many in my family.
And I’m a nurse.
I recently was working in a rehab, and I had to leave bc I couldn’t take it. I felt like I was contributing to everything I hate in the world.
The rehab I worked at, in the detox section. We do detox with suboxone or possibly methadone. It depends on a variety of things. We truly do keep the patients as comfortable as possible.
In fact. Many seem to sleep thru 5-7 days of detox and go in scared to death waiting for withdrawal to get worse and worse.
But then they sleep.... and before they know it they’re black out period is over.
Suboxone is honestly meant to be used for 7 days. It’s supposed to relieve w/d.
However there’s so many people who’d rather see their loved one take a suboxone (with a blocker) and function, and be “healthy” but they have no clue what the long term affects are
In my opinion, this seems to affect woman then men long term.
I’d highly advise against accutane, however I’m not your dr. I’m simply a Nurse Practitioner.
But I commend you for sharing your story, and even more so I commend you for recognizing you are worth living, and whatever hell you’ve went thru, and continue to go through. You’re a beautiful person who deserves to live a happy life.
You are stronger then you realize.
May god bless you and I pray you continue to take it one day at a time....
(And no. Being on subs or methadone doesn’t always mean you’re sober but it’s definitely the lesser of two evils. I’d take that over someone using a bundle of heroin and losing them that’s for sure) but you have to just keep on keepin on.
Catch aGlimpseOfZion You're a nice human
Alicia Gold thanks. I try!
That was good info! Thanks for sharing. And you aren’t just an NP! I’ve had some that are better than doctors 😂
Emily Horrigan thank you hun!!!! Lord knows I have put everything into my education and then my career!! I’ve seen too many Drs with lousy bedside manner. So I definitely try to make anyone, patient or not, as comfortable as possible. Because they shouldn’t ever feel like they have a stigma attached to them and sadly I do see that all too often especially when it comes to addiction.
I see many come into the ER, and they’re immediately treated as if they’re lying or drug seeking by Drs mumbling under their breath. And I think it is awful to judge someone before they know the whole story.
Granted plenty do come in and lie. Sure. But plenty come in with REAL problems and shouldn’t be punished bc they’re addicts or in recovery.
I treat people how I would want to be treated. And remember that I put my pants on the same way that anyone else does!!!!
God bless! 😘😘😘😘
+Catch aGlimpseOfZion I’ve been following this thread, and I haven’t commented but I’ve reading other comments. Bcuz I’m in a similar position. I don’t really talk about it often. This is the first time I’m making any sort of public comment.
But you have been really helpful. And I can tell that you have compassion for it and it seems like it’s even painful for you to be around. (I hope you don’t mind my opinion) I don’t mean that in a bad way at all. But it’s obvious you’ve been hurt by the disease, you lost both parents. How could that not hurt someone.
And you’ve weighed in on the comments with a variety of help. You never said once that someone SHOULD NOT be on suboxone in fact I did read in one of the comments that you said “you often have to pick the lesser of two evils” (I think that’s what you said) and I took that, as you understanding the people who ARE on suboxone or methadone and why.
And you understand that it’s better for them to be on that, then to be doing heroin.
I mean honestly you’re the reason I felt compelled to comment. And I’ve been following this for weeks. And I wanted to thank you for all of the stuff you’ve written bcuz it’s been full of knowledge like from both ends of the spectrum.
You even said you help your friend bcuz u know it’s better she be on that, then what she was doing.
I haven’t once seen a comment where you really judged anyone and said they SHOULD NOT take it. You simply replied to the video and replied to coming off of it and how it affects the body. Mainly female in your experience.
Yes! I’ve been paying attention and I wanted to write b4 and ask if we could talk privately somehow bcuz of the fact that you were being honest, non-judgmental and helpful.
I’ll post my email first if you’re up for talking privately. Just reply to this and lmk. Thank you & Happy New Year! 🎆♥️🎉
Congratulations on your sobriety! Keep moving forward sister! You're not in this alone, I'm almost at my 3 year mark of sobriety and we start realizing how much harm it did to our bodies after the fact when we're sober for so long. I love the positivity you put in this video and there should be more videos like this! Many people think suboxone is going to help them and many fall back into the opiates or they refuse to stop taking the suboxone over all! I'm sharing this video to a couple of people who really need to see this. Thank you.❤
Hi ive just seen this video, and I have some advice. I am a doctor working in the uk in the pharmaceutical industry but have a passing interest in issues which you are describing. If you would like to get in contact with me I would be happy to help. I have seen many patients with similar complaints as yours and some things you explain doing thinking to relieve your symptoms may actually be exasperating them.
Wow just started watching and I can relate to so much. Im 36, I've been on methadone at least 10 years, and I have terrible ibs, half my hair is gone, my teeth are chipping and breaking...
I really feel for you, you've come so far and have so much to be proud of. Don't give up!
How are you doing now?
Get off that stuff! It will kill you. You need to quit cold turkey and get on an exercise and spiritual program.
Samantha knox oohh my I got the same wirh my teeth.... I lost them almost all. I can't look in the mirror anymore, don't dare to talk to people cause of it. I was always very social and now I lost almost everyone cause of it. And in Holland the Dentist is so expensive that I can't fix it. My life is not a life anymore it only surviving....
I have 36 years ,and I was been on methad. 10 years now I take 100mg I afraid to thinking about what those toxic do my body .I spend 1700eur for new teeth last year.
Arianna Vujatovic ooh lucky you I do not know where to get the monet from for my teeth. Cause like this NO ONE would hire me..... I wish I could eat normal again. Didn't do that for years. That made me also depresses..sadly. I was never really a sad person, now any kind gesture I start crying like an idiot.....I hope one day I can be happy again. I wish you only the best and hope you are free from it one day. I am still on 20 mg. One day......
You know what?....and I won't b doing this all night. LOL..but I do have other medical issues- and I've had to go to the ER for stomach ulcers...I've stoped telling dr s I'm on methadone ...it's like, I have legit problems and I want to b 100 0/0 truthful with a dr. But the second I bring up that I'm on methadone ....it's a whole different doctor then.... he doesn't take you serious ...
Fawn Flanery just get off the methadone!!! Ur still on it right? It's a chemical your body does not NEED , of course there's gonna be side effects..I'd KICK asap if I were u.. there are many other solutions to pain relief, health issues and sobriety
i know exactly what you mean. I have hip arthritis, medically diagnosed with xrays, and metal shards in my stomach from when i was a kid. I ended up in hospital with a part of my intestine stopped working,while on methadone. they spent more time telling me it was coz of heroin addiction (which i stopped years before this happening) and that they couldnt give me pain medication (which i didnt want, i just wanted treated for my intestine)...its a joke.if you came in with a broken arm or a bullet wound theyd blame it on meth...
Fawn Flanery I know same
THIS IS BAD, BUT SADLY TRUE...
Fawn Flanery
yes. you could walk into an ER with a broke neck, hit by a semi-truck and as soon as the find out. they immediatly treat you so different. no matter if your on 10mgs or 100mgs. Any hopes of you walking out with anything for pain (besides tylonol) is slim to none. pretty screwed up but its the truth.
Congratulations on your journey to sobriety! Thank you for making this video and sharing your story. I want to wish you all the best.
I never did drugs. My drug of choice is sugar, sweets, & carbs. Poor diet and exercise for a majority of my life. Currently 38 weeks pregnant and my skin is almost as bad. I am super into makeup, but when it comes to the texture of moderate to severe acne their is little you can do. Still, people are so much nicer when I have it on vs bare face. I'm sorry you are paying for your old choices. Most of us do unfortunately. You are an inspiration to anyone in need of breaking an addiction & I wish you all the best!
I walked off methadone 20 days ago been taking other opiates like d but can't keep that up because of the lifestyle and the legal issues I have. Don't know what to do but we'll figure out a way good luck
Youre gorgeous. You're brave. And so lovely and honest. Thank you for sharing. ♥️♥️♥️
The Modern Day Pocahontas I agree
I had to be on Methadone for almost 20 years for pain. I have Lupus and Neuropathy. I’ve been off of it eight and one half years, when I had to have a pain pump implanted. I’ve never had the problem with my face breaking out but have had severe constipation and loss of hair. Even my eye brows and lashes got really thin. It’s great that you are making better choices and eventually,I believe you will rid your body of all the built up toxins. You are very attractive. Just stay on the right path. You are in my prayers.
This video was made awhile ago now, I do hope things are going better for you with the issues you were having. Normally I wouldn't comment but I felt I needed to. What struck me about you was how strong and happy you seem. The happiest you've been in your life as I recall you saying. It shows. You look happy and it radiates from you. The cosmetic things are minor issues, although to you they may be irritating and stick out like a sore thumb. what is beautiful is your attitude and honesty and humor about it all! Curious have you checked to see about any possible hormonal imbalances? After I had my little girl, I lost ALOT of hair and my skin was a mess. Things were out of sync for awhile. Anyway, Stay Strong. Great Message
Renee Vandenburg really I thought she looked and sounded wasted.Her message as far as I can see is the same as most junkies, POOR ME.😢If it wasn't her skin and hair it would be something else . Fucking drama queen. Like I said in another comment, go visit a kids cancer ward.It will put your problem in perspective
I was in a boating accident I lost my leg and was cut from head to toe from the prop shouldn't be alive. Oh course I have been on methadone since 12 years also people need to know it eats your teeth up inside. I had toothache without cavities. 3 years of 20 mg methadone I had to have my teeth pulled the outside was fine the inside were trash. I have recently starting losing my hear. My body image was low after the accident and now these added lost has trash my self confidence. Still on the methadone for pain. It's the cheapest way to help control my pain ,which am still at about 5 all the time on the stupid pain chart,I don't know what to do just venting
Stella Patton The whole thing with it getting to your bones and ruining your teeth is just a myth advisor for 10 years my teeth are perfect my only problem is weight gain
Stella Patton my teeth have been rotting from methadone. My molars mostly. In facts I have 2 toothaches now. It’s fucking horrible
Hope your doing ok
Thyroid! I've been on Methadone for 5 years and thought my hair loss was a result of that but it's my thyroid. As far as your other issues... Girl you are awesome! I'm so sorry your body is struggling to regain it's balance but you keep on keeping on!
Nichole Frank totally agree. All of this is symptoms of thyroid issues
I agree on the thyroid too. Lost my thyroid to cancer and I've really been put thru the ringer with both hair and acne. Although I thought the acne was due to the breast cancer treatment I had 7 years later. Currently I'm at an all time high for hair loss even tho my thyroid markers claim to be regular, I can clearly see they arent. My hair is down to my @$$ but super thin. Please see an endocrinologist for thyroid issues. Try to get one that works with dessicated thyroid if you don't want synthetic meds in your body.
You will probably need a referral to see an Endocrinologist by the way unless on Medicare.
Nichole Frank 100%. Dealing with the same issues. Hypothyroidism is the worst.
So a psychic told you it was in your bones?
blu22 She said Medium... big difference. I don't know much about suboxone but it's a well known proven fact that methadone permeates your bone marrow with prolonged usage.
Actually for only washing your hair once a week.. that amount of hair isn't bad. You should have lost alot of that eariler in the week, but all comes out the one time a week it's washed. I do the same thing.. and I have a hudge bundle of hair after too..
I thought the same exact thing
You are very honest. In my opinion your skin isn't that that bad. I've seen worse, and these people didn't even use drugs anytime in their life. But what what I wanted to say: did you try probiotics , these is powder/pills with life bacteria, the kind your guts need. Because we need a healthy bacteria system inside our digestive system, it is very important for your health. This ALSO can explain your other constipational problems. Yokult is a diary drink, full of life bacteria, , invented in Japan, but one can buy it in every grovery here in Holland, next to the yoghurt. Yoghurt also is full of bacteria, but the real probiotica has a much bigger variaty of bacteria. You need to "inject" your digestive system with this.
It will solve a lot of problems. Maybe even the candida.
Something is not right with the equilibrum, Ph values. That's why this drinking of apple cider vinegar was not a bad idea.
Also, stopping with sugar is a good idea, gluten, too. But , please you have to eat/drink diary product, of course moderately.
You have to eat meat, of course moderately.
Supplements are not that expensive, pipingrock, an American webshop has very cheap supplements. Also bodybuilding websites.
But my advice is: take probiotica and Yakult yoghurt.
You can thank me later. LOL. You were right, it is coming from inside. So cleaning your skin with charcoal is not the answer.
It is the bacterial system in your intestines/stomach.
My wife also has this acne, and candida. And she never used drugs in her whole life. Don't even smoke cigarettes.
It started when she gave birth. And she took this horrible strong pills for acne, it is some skin cancer chemotherapy pill, it did work, but this stuff is very bad , you cannot be pregnant in 5 years, the manual advice: please don't get pregnant within the next 5 years, it will harm the foutus/baby. So this medicament was very strong and bad for your system, but it DID solve the acne for a while. I DON't recommend this treatment al all for you, please no.
But I recommended for you this probiotica, preferably the ones which contain more than 10 different bacteria stems.
Cheers from Simon from Holland, Bye.
You're so beautiful... I'm pulling for you sweetie

I'm the same age with the same back story, it's crazy to hear extremely sim story I wrecked all of my early to mid 20s with OxyContin and smack living in Baltimore it was too easy. My life was changed by suboxone for what I thought was the good when I was 28, I got my life back physically and went beyond what I thought was possible but the long term effects of subs has destroyed my inner inner soul I once had I can only get momentary happiness from physical things the real true happiness and innocence are gone and I've finally come to grips with that fact. It sucks bad I feel like I died in my 20s and all of this has been and is a weird dream. The years of anti depressants has what I believe only compounded the problem and in all honestly the only thing that keeps me going is that I feel a super deep passion to pass on my history to help people understand opiate addiction fully as well as suboxone avoidance at all costs as well as any methadone or any substitute. Speaking or preaching has never been my thing always through a lens. I would love to interview you for a documentary I am working on about the long term behavioral physical and emotional changes that happen to us, I want ppl to see exactly the real effects and concerns like the 25k I spent on new porcelain teeth bc my real ones got destroyed by suboxone and not shitting for a month at a time feeling so bloated it hurts to lay on your stomach as well as loss of self and spirituality while living like a shell of a person who needs plenty of instant gratification to smooth over the horrific depression and endless confusion. I want ppl to feel the despair and consequences that seem to stay unseen or heard in society
Hxgh Society you said it to the point 👍
Hxgh Society same exact story and I'm from bmore...southwest Pratt and Fulton to be exact
Hxgh Society and I spent 18k on my teeth and never even had problems with my teeth when I was running the streets and getting high being on meth 11 yrs have wrecked them
Omg you just described by life with incredible detail!! Makes me want to 😢
how are you today
you are definitely an inspipiration ,glad to hear your recovery story.
It’s gonna get harder before it gets easier. But it will get better, you just gotta make it through the hard stuff first.
To everyone who got sober congratulations and for the ones who are still fighting remember recovery is something that you have to work on every single day and it’s something that doesn’t get a day off. Keep on fighting!
I've been on Bupe for fucking years myself...I'm sorry but this does not seem even remotely related to Opioid consumption, including Buprenorphine. Your hair loss, and acne are... definitely. Not caused by these drugs..
and for the record these drugs saved your life I presume. Just be lucky you're alive.
It says on the labels now that long term suboxone use does in fact cause hair loss so try again! And also when I was on boxes I had terrible bacne or back acne but it stopped when I stopped the boxes so go figure. We all react differently and the drug companies are only stating what they legally have to on the labels so unless you are a doc who has studied this chemical then you are you and no one else!
Ive not heard nor seen that yet. Ive been on stex for 7 yrs and have been tapering off since Aug 1 of this yr. 3 months and 9 days of taper pretty much. I still have 7 or so wks before im completely clean but atm im on 1mg/day.. I was always consistently between 8-12mg/day, maybe a couple mgs more at times. On what med did you see that label, jw? Anything to do with the naloxone you think?
B A S E D SBG SOLDIER maybe not who knows I am not a doctor and not a SINGLE doctor could tell me WHYYYY so are u a doctor???
cindysuess johnson if you don't tell your doctor the whole truth they can't help you and I really suspect you aren't telling everything. My skin broke out like yours and I swear I wasn't doing any drugs...except for smoking and shooting meth. Btw if you are taking neurontin that could be the cause of your hair loss. I know someone that this happened to due to neurontin abuse.
I know literally a hundred people that had your same exact story same meds same drug use and not one of them are loseing hair like u and none of them have the acne could it possibly be something else causeing that to happen to u?????? Anyway you look fine and I'm happy ur clean hope all the best for you
ts happening after stopping methadone or suboxone, not till you are still using. Many people have the same problem after quiting methadone or suboxone. I read that methadone is reducing testosterone levels and after you stop it you start producing normal quantity testosterone, which is something new for your body after years of using methadone. So its basically hormonal imbalance, but it should go away around 1 year sobriety. maybe she is just using too much products on her face which only makes her skin more oily, and makes things worse
Seems more like she has something going on hormonal. I havent met anyone on or off these meds that have any of these problems, including myself.
@chad Reno everyone's body is different and will experience completely different symptoms and will react in numerous ways and be going through the same thing
You actually look great for ex addict close to 40.
Poopy Pants diggity ummm much closer tp 35 than 40. Don't be a dick
I'm on methadone and I lost a lot of my hair as well...
People say with suboxone youre trading one addiction for an other. No. I was on strong pain meds and doing alot of bad things to get them. Then suvoxone came in. It took me awhile to get them but when I finally did it saved my life. Ever since then I've been living a normal life
Did your doctor say anything about the receptors in your brain being permanently damaged? Gaba-A, Gaba-B, & Seritonin?
This is what I was told. & I will have to be on Suboxone & Fluoxetine for the rest of my life.
I was born addicted, & had a terrible childhood because of it, but I finally feel good. I found a wonderful doctor who knows what to look for & test for. It's so wonderful to finally feel like nothing is wrong🙌👌😉
yep yep...youre done for, forever. I mean, you're not getting off it...you'll be on it life-long. Suboxone or Meths. doesnt do anything but get u off the street, so yea it saves your life in that way...but u trade everything else for it. Just wait. You're a nube.
U will never get off maintenance...if u do,u will be right back on it, or right back on the drugs. I would just accept it at this point. I mean, it's great if you have another hope, sure...but don't go around praising it as if it's some type of awesome life saving wonder drug. it's as bad on every level as any street drug and the doctor is your dealer...and now he's got u and your $$$ for as long as you're alive.
Mary Jamison same with me. I’ve been sober 3 years. Once I got put on suboxone I never ONCE relapsed. I’ve never relapsed at all. My drug of choice was oxycodone. at the peak of my addiction I was taking 300mg of oxycodone everyday...good luck with your recovery ❤️
I agree girl. It's 100 times better on subutex then pills
Mary Jamison
My husband stayed off heroin for 6 years, thanks to suboxone. Unfortunately hanging out with the wrong crowd got him to relapse. I regret ever telling him anything about using suboxone. It was the best thing that ever happened to us. I’m so glad is working for you. :)
Thank-you for being so brave. Big BIG respect x
I was on painkillers for 20yrs. It was like a marriage. Percocet was the love of my life. At 40, I was done. I went on suboxone and it saved me. I do not feel like a slave. I do not feel like a drug addict. It is keeping me clean from my one vice. I dealt with cystic acne from 12 to 38. It sounds like you have dealt with it too. Please don't blame suboxone, especially with a history of acne. Suboxone is truly a life saver for some people. The more it gets stigmatized the faster it will be hard to get for people that really need it. I know for myself, if I didn't have it I would be back on painkillers in a minute.
Deborah Mccarthy congrats on your soberity! I've been on subutex and have had no issues. Addicts are already scared of stopping drugs. We don't need more fear on top of it. Did you do NA as well? Her mentality is a lot of why I don't want to be around NA.
Nancy Negative no NA. Of go to therapy for 45 mins every 2 weeks. That's it!
Deborah Mccarthy If people are able to get therapy I think that is the best choice IMO happy people dont do drugs. There is usually a reason people want to forget. And I understand why people like NA but to me and again this is just my experience but it gets super cultish. NA becomes their new drug. I only found really good contacts at NA meetings but I'm not going to tell others not to go to them.everyone has their own road to sober and these ideas where sub's are going to ruin your life are so dangerous. Acne is way better than infected track marks at least or ya know, death...
Ya I think it works differently for different people I've been on suboxone for 3 months now and it's worked wonders! I take what's prescribed (actually a little less) and I haven't had a thought of painkillers and I can live my life! I have money now along with repaired relationships! But I understand it's not for everyone I'm just saying that suboxone, along with a strong will, can keep addiction at bay!
Deborah I agree 100%! I was big into NA for the first 2years of being clean(I have 5 years as of Nov 1st 2017) and I also started attending church regularly when I got clean. 2 years into NA I had a relative die and it was very difficult to deal with for me. Not one person from NA reached out to me. My church though, offered to feed my entire family a huge meal following the funeral, tons of people from the church reached out to me, sent a card etc. Plus just before the death, I found out that my NA sponsor(who I ADORED) of 2 years had actually been using the entire time!!! A lot of the regulars at NA were constantly relapsing and everyone would tell them that it was ok and that “relapse is a part of recovery” and I don’t believe in that statement at all. Relapse isn’t an option for me! I feel like if you don’t have that state of mind then you’re setting yourself up for relapse.
Oh and I want to add that I don’t think you have to go to a church(or even be a Christian for that matter) as part of recovery. That was just a personal choice and it has happened to be a giant help for me. I do enjoy the group meetings at Celebrate Recovery though and in my experience they dont give that “cultish” vibe like NA does.
You need To be careful about what you’re saying theses medication’s are life-saving
A level tap of Epsom salts in a glass of warm water each night will cure the constipation
That's teaspoon of Epsom salts
Yep! It sure worked for me 🙌
Lynda Harkness , so does eating little to no meat, with a daily meal of fiber and fresh, high-iron produce.
People need to start eating like they give a shit. They want to get off junk, but they eat like shit. Food is an essential part of being healthy AND helping a drug situation.
Lynda Harkness epson salts for constipation is the devil. I shit my brains out for a week after trying it. Never again. I’d rather be constipated!
have you checked your hormone, estrogen levels. they can play a big part in your health, acne problems.
I've been on suboxone or subutex (back and forth depending on insurance) since 2010. Ive always had clear skin, until this year! No matter what I do my skin keeps breaking out! I can relate to pretty much everything you've said. Except I have been strong enough to go through the hell that is withdrawl from buperenorphine, I've felt the withdrawl but only for about a week and that's as long as I can stand it. Keep going on your path. We need you to speak out about your journey!
thanks for the video.
i quit taking suboxone 25 days ago.
i dont think people realize how difficult it is.
hang in there.
you got this!
woolitejones i hope you are doing well. You are much more brave than me
thanks.
my buddy nursed me back to health.
i could not have done it without him.
the horrible lifestyle deserves most of the credit for leaving it behind.
dont forget that you could try kratom to ease the pain and aggravation .
thanks again.
if i can hate it enough to say 'fuck you opiates' so can you.
you will LOVE not being a slave any more.
woolitejones Just wondering how are you doing? I am on subs and have been now for 6 yrs. I'm down to 4 mg and wanna get down to 2mg and off completely very soon. Just wondered how you felt when you totally came off and what mg where you at when you came off? You don't have to answer if you don't want to but I would really appreciate it!
hi Breanne.
in doing well , thanks.
i was at 10 mgs - 15 mgs a day when i quit. i basically stayed in bed for 10-12 days.
no energy and no appetite and stomach pain. the symptoms, for me at least , were up and down.
i could not have done it with out my buddy who took me in and gave me lots of water and little things to eat here and there.
you may fair better since you are on such a low dose.
i hope i answered your question.
i recently stated taking kratom. 3 tbls a day. it has been a huge help.
i know im forgetting something important.
good luck and YOU GOT THIS.
i did take 2 weeks off from work during this whole detox.
Your beautiful:)
It could have been long term effects of the Accutane you took years ago. I see alot of comments stating you're wrong about the meds you're talking about. I'm not saying it's not true. Thankfully I've never been addicted to anything. Thank you for sharing! It could also be hormonal acne. I think you're a beautiful lady!
This is a hormonal condition. I would go on an antibiotic and just eat normally and avoid being so healthy. Tetracycline works great on adult acne
Exactly
If she has a candida overgrowth like she said, antibiotics will make it worse.
Have you gotten blood tests? I started getting weird cyst-like hormonal acne at 33, along with excessive hair loss. I thought I was going insane...but nope, my hormone levels were all jacked up, and deficient of a few vitamins (D the most)
i am on methadone, have been for 5 years.
Do not have constipation, only really bad side effect is sweating profusely a few hours a day, and low energy. But I HATE SWEATING while wearing a tank top in below freezing weather. I feel gross and it's not healthy. I think our bodies get so messed up from so much shit we put in our bodies..but really it could be a reaction to something you changed recently...new multivitamin, etc.
Update??
Methadone saved my life. But personally I'm getting tired of the liquid handcuffs..
666MAXWELL666 I agree 100%
I hear ya. 17 years or so for me. Now I’m stuck because of the pain. Chronic fatigue, rheumatoid arthritis, etc, the list goes on...
Same here. was on opiates for 10 years (heroin, 15-30 bags a day) I'm 4 years on methadone now and my
Skin is better than it's been since I was 14 but I do worry about my teeth but I do also agree that it is a lot to do that addiction makes you (me atleast and a lot ppl I know) stop worrying about brushing your teeth as much like when ur sick u ain't worried about brushing ur teeth just getting well.... like I said that was just me can't speak for everyone but yea even tho I get take homes and methadone did SAVE MY LIFE I'm on 190 MGs and wanna start coming down asap subs never worked for me this is all that has worked so def am gonna start coming down soon. I wish everyone much luck btw!!
pink maggi
Katelin Stach Yeah?
You definitely need to eat lots of protein. Get it into you! Chicken, red meat once or twice a week, tuna, VEGETABLES!!! Eggs,..etc... you’ll find yourself changing inside and out.
Glad you made this video. People don't talk about these things enough.
OMG, TY sooo much for taking the time out to make this vid, plz, always remember when you feel alone, your most definitely NOT alone, I too am experiencing hair loss and other similar symptoms. I am just over 2 yrs clean -the Methadone maintenance I’ve been undergoing for over 2yrs also, it’s very very difficult but, we are strong and vigilant 💪 and we will prevail this vile disease. Keep you head up and keep us updated on your progress, we’re all proud of you!
Your opinion!!!! Ok!! But suboxzone saved my life!!!!
YOU SAVED YOUR LIFE!
What I mean by shut down, the thyroid is working improperly. When its out of wack it throws everything off. Its unfortunate that most people suffer for months before getting the hormones sorted out. Hypo and hyper both have horrible symptoms.
CMC Carpentry METHADONE SAVED MY LIFE!!!!(LET PEOPLE TALK THERE SHIT!!!!!THEY COULDNT LAST 1 FUCKING DAY IN OUR SHOES!!!!!) I SAY FUUUCK EM!!!!!
CMC Carpentry yes suboxone saves. Bc . Its better to live on sub's than to keep using. But it also makes you blind to emotions. Vivitrol was the only way I could get off suboxone. I am going through all of what she is going through. I was also on for 10 years. Losing my hair my teeth. Kratom also is very helpful. I have energy from Kratom. I also have pain relief (the main part) fro Kratom. I dont know how good it is for you. But i know it helps.
taylor perry you mean the doctor's thst get these fucks hooked.
I take Suboxone, have been for 10 years. My hair is falling out too more than usual
Your Story is Very Helpful to me. My son is 24 and struggling with addiction to opioids. He may never get as far as you, he is still deep ing the BadLands. GOD BLESS YOU, GIRL!! MAY GOD CONTINUE TO WATCH OVER YOU AND KEEP YOU SAFE!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING! can you please update on how life is for you soon!?
MrHanover Smith thank you! Gonna try to post another video soon!
It's a thyroid problem 100% in my opinion, another commenter said the same below.
george br if she is making this video dissuading the use of a lifesaving drug before she has had a blood test then she need to retract that statement. Cindy sue, dear, you need to fix this.
I became severely hypothyroid after several months on methadone, but by the time I put two and two together I had been on two long just to quit like that. I would suggest staying on the lowest dose possible.
Barbara Woodliff I've had blood tests , I am not dissuading anyone from using this for 2-3 days - I'm talking LONG TERM USE
I had my thyroid and everything else checked no answers as to the hair loss
cindysuess johnson why would anyone use methadone or subs for 3 days?youre 100% wrong by telling people these life saving meds are bad
