Common Questions and Answers about How long does methadone withdrawal take

methadose

t even begun to have withdrawal yet! I am so worried for you. Methadone is a monster to come off because it has such a long withdrawal time. Is there any way to get some help? You really need a doctor/detox facility helping you. Do you have a history with a methadone clinic, or can you get to one fast? You need a supply of it to taper with. Please write back and tell us more. We are here to help in any way we can.

Hi~ Boy,it sounds like withdrawals are continuing in a bad way. Who gave you the methadone? A doctor? Can you call him/her? What and how much did you take before the methadone? You need to treat each symptom separately. Get Peptobismal for your GI issues and dramamine is good for nausea. You need to eat and get a lot of fluids in. Are you doing that? Once you get some nutrition you should feel stronger. Start taking vitamins.

ive been clean from herion for 45 days but im taking 20 mls of methadone a day im reducing the meth by 2 mls every week i just wana no how long does the rattle last an how long do you feel depressed for?

I took a tramadol yesterday and today and it eased the withdrawal some. Should I take tramadol for about a week or should I just not take it at all. I know that it too is addictive but wasn't sure if I would be dependent on it after a week. I am afraid that it is just going to prolong my withdrawal and make it last longer. Has anyone been through a similar situation that can give me some input?

What do you take now? How much per day? How long have you taken it? Have you ever stopped before? Keep posting~ V.

He has not taken a tablet since the night before last and is really suffering but is determined not to take another, does anyone out there have any idea how long it takes for these withdrawal symptons to pass as I am realy worried about the affect this is having on his mental health, he has started to say that he would be better off going for a walk with one of his rifles and sadly I am concerned that this is not just talk.

Many people stop breathing at night and die with only a few drinks and taking methadone. I cannot tell you how dangerous methadone truly is and how hard it is to come off of. The Clonodine is good and will help keep you calmer and help with the blood pressure but check out the natural supplement amino protocol article and try some of the natural supplements. If you use them and take the Clonodine, it will be over in a few days.

I have been on opiates for 10yrs and now suboxone for the last 3 my question is HOW LONG till my body stops wanting this stuff???!!!! Mentally I'm soo ready to stop but I cant without going through the usual: runny nose, chills, the runs and all the others.. I have weened myself to 1mg suboxone a day but that doesnt seem to be enough.. What do I do next??

Can you tell me a little more about your Sub use? How long did you use, how many mgs were you on, how many mgs were you on when you jumped off? If you're on Day 4 without feeling any ill effects you may be one of the lucky folks who won't experience the Sub WD's. I'm well aware Subs have a very long half-life (similar to Methadone) but you're already on Day 4 so hopefully you'll skip all of the nastiness.

Read about sub induction, and you will see that methadone requires special considerations. Read about methadone withdrawal before you use it. Check out the suboxone/subutex FAQs at the bottom right of this page. Have you tried to taper the Oxys? You want to educate yourself before you go experimenting with trading one drug for another. Good luck.

I would like to know about how long it takes to detox from oxy addiction. I bought some methadones and have been taking them but think i will end up addicted to them also. Just wondering, scared to death, with 9 yr old at home. Any feedback if helpfu.

I did make it though and it has been 2 yrs. How long has your daughter been on methadone? She will have w/ds for at least 6 weeks .Hopefully the mental health facility can help her with that. I would say that it is definately possible for her to be having those things happen because of the intensity of w/d from methadone. Please keep us posted..

i know that sub has a long 1/2 life so I would take a guess that it stays in your system about as long as methadone does..that is about 3 days depending on your metabolism..and how much..

I am going to send a message to one of our members here who has come off methadone. He has some really good info that will help. How long has it been since your mom passed away?
