My Daughter's Dead from overdose of methadone
My Daughter used meth for 4
years. For the last 7 months of her life she was clean. She was
34 years old. She had regained custody of her Daughter and was
on a long up hill climb to recovery. Her problem was to fight
the MS with which she was afflicted. To do this she
visited a doctor for the first time with her new Medicaid card.
It seemed she was on a roll. She left the doctors office with a
prescription of methadone for pain and filled it that night of
June 19, 2006. It was for 180 10mg methadone pills to be taken 2
every eight hours. At 8pm on June 20, 2000 she was dead from
acute methadone intoxication. Please if I can help anyone out
there let me. If your loved one is prescribed methadone
administer the dose your self then please lock up the bottle
till the next dose. This cheap @#%$ which the insurance
companies love is a killer. It will confuse you and you can very
easily forget and take to much. The amount of deaths in this
country from methadone is up 300% from ten years ago. Use care I
wish I had Known how bad this stuff was. |

Re: My Daughter's Dead from overdose of methadone
I'm
sorry about your daughter..
As far as I'm concerned she died a hero in battle.
........she was a soldier fighting in the drug war.
I barely made it out myself..........but I was on the front
lines. I saw the conditions,... the starvation, the madness, the
greed, the exhaustion.
I exchanged thoughts with other failed seekers who lived as
prisoners of the meth war.
We were tricked.
we didn't know things would end up this way. we thought it
was so great, we shared our wonderful magic powder with the ones
we love most..........only to watch helplessly as they crumbled.
these things had to happen to gain the knowledge we have today.
you're daughter was part of the movement...
......the expedition to find something we could use to like
ourselves more, create more, lose more weight, invent, love,
share. it turned on us all.
your daughter, along with the others we lost should have a
memorial in Washington D.C.
we did it, and lost our minds, our lives, and those we
love...along with everything else.
....so that others can know, it's not safe to go there.
everyday we try to tell this story....and you are yet another
example, or tool for learning, that can help prevent another
mother from crying. |

Re: My Daughter's Dead from overdose of methadone
Wacky, I'M SO SORRY. You and I
have something in common. My Mom died on March 28th of this year
at the age of 51. They didn't know why so they did an autopsy
report. I just found out it was from a methadone overdose. Same
thing as your daughter. It's been real hard on me and it's
happening more and more, OD/intox. on methadone. It slows down
your breathing and makes you sleepy. Well, my Mom was asleep
when she died. It's very sad and I'm soooo sorry for your lose.
My condolences to you and yours. |

Re: My Daughter's Dead from overdose of methadone
May your heart be comforted and may you be
given strength to carry on for your sake, your family, your
grandchildren, those that you are educating and the friends you
have yet to meet.
I thank you so very much for your information. If and when my
daughter gets in treatment I will be very noisy about her
treatment and drugs prescribed. |

Re: My Daughter's Dead from overdose of methadone
My heart goes out to you.
Methadone is being used more and more often as a treatment for
chronic pain. I know people who are on "methadone maintenance
treatment" for heroin addiction.
They all use heroin AND methadone.
It's so sad to hear that your daughter fought the battle against
addiction only to die of an overdose with a drug that was meant
to help her. |

Re: My Daughter's Dead from overdose of methadone
Thank you all for such a
response. I am quite overwhelmed. I did not know what board to
use but I see this one works well. the correct date of my
daughters death is June 20, 2006 not 2000 I'm still not thinking
straight. I would like to share some other thoughts with anyone
trying to kick this horrible drug. In my day I had many friends
lost to the Heroin world but I think this meth is the worst and
hardest to break.
My daughter was on prescription Benzedrine to give her energy
over her MS. Her Husband took the pills and sold them and gave
her meth. My grand daughter age 9 at that time would find the
meth and think it was candy my daughter would teach her that it
wasn't. meth would be hidden in pens and any where else
convenient.
My daughter decided to get off meth so she could regain custody
of her daughter and get her out of the dangerous living
conditions she was in.
My daughter got down so low that when I picked her up from detox
I drove right by her not even recognizing her.
I dropped her at safe nest and never heard from her for 5
months. Instead of going to safe nest she went back to live with
her daughter and ex husband. She decided to kick meth and did so
while all around her people were getting high. She was taking
notes and used them to get child services to get custody of her
daughter which she did. I don't know how she did it but if
anyone needs an inspiration to quit your child could be it.

Re: My Daughter's Dead from overdose of methadone
My grand daughter is doing as
good as can be expected. My daughter got her out of the hell
hole and paid with her life. My husband and I are providing a
home for her and she has the support of many friends and is
doing good in school. She goes to grief counseling but still
cries for her mom quite often. Again please anyone trying to
kick meth do it for your kids. my daughter was really heading on
a good track clean for 7 months with no outside help. It can be
done although I cant imagine how she did it.
Sometimes my writing is a little weird but there are legal
issues and I must dance around them. Sorry. |

Re: My Daughter's Dead from overdose of methadone
It must be so hard for such a
little girl to loose her mother after just getting her back. I
hope that you will be able to provide her with a stable home
where her mother can be remembered with love and kindness. Thank
you for sharing your story. |
