Methadone???

Question by Kanni AsQue ♥: Methadone???
I’m trying to recover from a pill addiction Due to circumstances, I can’t go into rehab and have no medical insurance for methadone. I can purchase some, but I’m not sure how much to take. I’m scared I’m going to OD, or not use enough. I’ve been taking about 8 10mg lortabs 2 or 3 times a day for awhile now. How do I know how much methadone I need to take so I don’t go through withdrawl? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

PS. Please don’t say “go to the doctor” or “don’t buy it off the streets”. The person I can get it from is a trusted friend, and I can’t go to the doctor or a clinic because of medical insurance issues. What I really need is personal experiences and dosaging information. Again, thank you for your help.
And if you’ve never been through withdrawl, then keep you opinions to yourself. Hell yeah I’m scared, and it’s not possible to function while withdrawing. I’ve been there before, and it ain’t fun. You try shaking,vomiting, feeling like your skin is too tight for your body, muscle aches and spasms, rapid heartbeat and insomnia. If it was easy to go through, there wouldn’t be detox centers and methadone clinics.
And I don’t plan on staying on methadone, i want to use it to gradually bring myself off of the drug.
For those who have given me serious answers and experience, thank you very much : )

Great just go from one addiction to another. Lortab does not take more than 3 days to come off of and I would not recommend Methadone as a substitute because then your addiction becomes worse not better.
